Wish I was so lucky to live in an area without ticks and fleas! I used to use preventive only in the summer, for ticks, rather than fleas, but I found a flea on Pip in the dead of winter (he had been playing with some other dogs, so I'm not sure if it jumped to him or not, I found no sign of fleas in my house) and I've also found a couple of fleas on him less than a week after applying the preventive. I think the preventive is helpful, but not 100%. I make it a practice to use a flea comb, when grooming.
