About a year ago I decided to try the Tickless Pet Ultrasonic Flea and Tick Pendant with my two dogs, Pearl and Jasmine. I usually don't wait so long to post reviews, but I wanted to see if this product not only does what it claims (to keep fleas and ticks off dogs without pills or pesticides), but to see if it has enough longevity to continue doing what it claims. Does it work? Yes. Does it work months after it's activated? Yes. Is it a miracle product for keeping fleas and ticks off of dogs? For me--yes, yes and amen!

This product emits a series of ultrasound pulses that are harmless and imperceptible to both humans and animals. During flea and tick season, attach it to the collar and have it worn continually, even indoors. It becomes fully effective in 24 hours after activation. Continuous wearing ensures 9-10 months of efficient protection against parasites.
Here in Miami Beach we have "super fleas," fleas that don't respond to topical flea and tick medications, neither over the counter nor prescription. The abundant feral cat population keeps these fleas strong. One tube of topical flea medication usually lasted about 24 hours before fleas re-infested my dogs, when those products are supposed to last a month. These fleas also don't respond to oral flea medications. I'd get about a day out of those as well. As you know, it's not safe to double and triple dose pets with these products--and the products are expensive.
Last fall, I spent at least an hour a day, every day, picking fleas off my dogs, or bathing them daily with Dawn dishwashing detergent. I removed hundreds of fleas per month and was extremely frustrated. And itchy. I suffered many bites on my legs and arms. I spoke with all of my neighbors who have dogs, and they were all experiencing the same situation. I also found a tick on Pearl, which was distressing because of my past Lyme Disease infection. On top of all of this, Pearl was diagnosed with nasal cancer, so I was extremely hesitant to continue to give her topical or oral flea medications.

During my losing battle with fleas, I decided to try the Tickless Pet Ultrasonic Flea and Tick Pendant. The barrier is a small pendant that can be clipped onto a pet's collar or harness. The pendant comes with an internal battery that should last 9 to 10 months. "If this thing works," I thought, "It will save dogs and cats from bites and illness, and save pet owners tons of cash and time." Did I think it was going to work? Honestly, I didn't have a lot of hope for it. It was too good to be true.

But I'm here to sing the praises of this product. Nine after simply clipping it to my dogs' collars, I have found no fleas or ticks on Pearl, and exactly two fleas on Jasmine. In this flea endemic area, that's a miracle. I used to pick 25 fleas off Jasmine every day. This product works. Jasmine has somehow unfortunately broken her first one, so I just ordered another.

I believe that every dog and cat owner in a flea and tick endemic area should try this product. No more pesticides on your pet. No more prescription pills. No more flea collars. I'm in awe of the technology that has made this possible. Of course, the company does say that you may need to use more than one type of flea and tick protection while using this product, but they have to say that. I'm here to say that this product has worked for my dogs in a place where the fleas are basically invincible. But the Tickless Pet Ultrasonic Flea and Tick Pendant has beat them. I'm not saying that this product will work for you, but it has worked for me.
