My dogs get a dose of Trifexis every month, but we've not had a single tick nor flea in over 5 years.

Where there is wet, there are ticks, typically.  I had to deal with plenty on the Rio Grande.  The last one I got was wearing shorts and taking the rat terrier outside, while wearing shorts.  Pulled that little bugger out by hand, and got it all.
