        I have a rescue dog that brought dog ticks into my laindry room that have disgustingly spread through the house. The dog was only in for a couple of hot days in the laundry room but it was enough to cause an outbreak! UGH! The dog is outside, treated and tick free. But even after bombing the house…I’m still finding random live ticks! Revolution for cats does not say it kills or repels ticks on cats. Advantage also says nothing about tick treatment on cats or rabbits. I NEED HELP…what works for TICKS ON RABBITS???

          Revolution will stop ticks it just takes a couple of hours longer to kill them. Do you know what kind of tick they are ? I have a friend in wildlife rescue that may have some answers.

            It sounds like the brown dog tick. If it’s the brown dog tick, you probably need professional pest control to eradicate them from your house. But maybe you’ve had that done that already?

            Revolution doesn’t prevent ticks from biting, but it is bunny safe. Do NOT use fipronil on rabbits. You could ask your vet which treatment product they recommend for rabbits. Availability may differ between countries. Advantage is against fleas, so it’s no good for ticks, although rabbit safe. Whether the rabbits have ticks now or not, they should probably be treated as a preventive measure.

            Treat dog with permethrin or imidacloprid + permethrin so he doesn’t bring more ticks in. But I’m guessing you already did that. If you used fipronil, do not allow rabbits to have contact with dog. I personally prefer permethrin (we have many ticks where I live), and I have used it on the buns too although it’s not 100% bunny safe. The problem is not really the ticks themselves, however nasty, it’s the possibilty of them transferring diseases.
