Best time to worm for tapeworm??

[scotsmare]

As per the title really - I know we generally say Autumn but when????

(PS I don't use the equest programme as one of my lot is allergic to it!)

Well I have wormed already for tapeworm - last monday. I 'think' anytime between now and November would be good. but then I'm not that clued up on worming so could be totally wrong!

I normally do them in October but the scaremongering woman in the feedshop said they should be done now??

You need to worm for Tapeworm 2 x a year, at 6 monthly intervals (this is due to their life cycle), for ease we normally say spring & autumn - march to april then september to october. Hope this helps!

I have downloaded & printed off the ILPH (as was) 2 year worming programme. Tells you when to worm for what & give you examples of the wormers that do the job. It is fantastic - I just set a reminder on my phone a week before the next lot are due!!!

That's fine, thanks for all your help - I'm not going mad then (just being blonde

)

Will leave it till 1st week Oct as usual cos that's when they're due anyway!

Thankies

i do mine in november after the first frost then you catch bots and eycsted worms as well!

The usual advice is to worm after the first frost, so would be in October time. However, with todays climate changes, I would jusy say generally October time.

Sorry for being a bit thick but I have also heard it's best to worm after the first frost - but why?
I'm sure there is an obvious answer but could someone spell it out for me - thanks.
