We use Frontline but still get an occasional tick here and there. More so on my GS I think due to her hair. This is Oklahoma, no avoiding ticks and chiggers. We treat out yard and use Frontline religiously around here.
Speaking of chiggers, I'll tell ya'll something funny. This is something I'll tell all of my son's girlfriends about when he gets older. He was 6 yrs old, he's 8 now, and he had played outside and got a few chigger bites in a rather private area. The best I have found to stop the itch is to use fingernail polish. I looked all over and the only polish I could find was blue. He thought having that blue polish down there was the funniest thing ever. He went to his grandma's house that evening and said "Look Mama, I have blue balls!"

We use Ortho Bug B Gone in granules. We use a seed spreader to get it everywhere then use a water hose on the yard. I dont let the dogs out on it though until the next day. So for me it works out best to do the front yard one day and then do the back the next day.
