Hi Connie -
The tracking weather part is just that heartworm can't develop if the temp dips below 57F day or night. Which is why its crazy for vets to prescribe pills all year long. After that its about letting your animals bodies do the work its meant to do. Dr. Falconers protocol works. We lived it for 2 summers in Texas. Avoiding mosquitos was more about comfort. A backyard with less buzzing is more enjoyable and less probable to get bitten. Human and dog alike.
Connie and Jeannee,
It's important to note that this is Tricia's recommendation (avoiding mosquitoes), not mine.
My book is not based on avoidance of contact with mosquitoes, but rather on working on getting your animals so "bullet proof" that a mosquito bite does not result in a heartworm infestation.
I share some research in it to a species doing quite well and living among mosquitoes 24/7!
