Have you looked into Garlic? They say that sprinkling a bit of garlic on their food each day will prevent ticks and fleas. However I'd talk to a professional so you can find out what is a safe amount to give. I bought my boys solid gold garlic bagel treats one year and every week I'd give them one. I didn't need to use frontline almost all summer and they had NO ticks at all. Lucky for me, they've never gotten fleas....
