***My experience with Revolution was not good.  I live in tick heaven,
hot, humid climate, lots of woodland, rural setting.  The Revolution may
be effective against fleas, but was worthless for ticks.  I was picking
ticks off of my dogs every day.  I finally returned unused vials to my
vet and exchanged for Heartgard/Frontline, which I had used successfully
for years.  My vet informed me they had a number of complaints for the
same reason.  They had contacted the manufacturer, who explained that
after several months of use, the Revolution would become more effective
against ticks.  So I suppose if you started application several months
before tick season, it may be more effective.  I don't know this for a
fact, because I discontinued using it.  I have found during the "high
season" for ticks, even the Frontline needs application every 3 weeks,
rather then the 4 weeks under more normal conditions.
