My lab without heartworms

Hit enter way too soon.
So last year, about this time, my male lab was diagnosed with heartworms. I was heart broken because I thought I did something to him. (Honestly, it killed me)
Well, I did a ton of research and talked to some "older" vets. Several of them told me to do what they did years and years ago. Just keep using Ivomec. So I did. I gave him a tad bit more than I would normally give him.
Fast forward a year. My lab is heartworm free. It must of have worked.
Funny thing is, my lab never showed signs of having the worms. Maybe it was in the early stages - or maybe he never had them. Either way, I am tickled pink I have a healthy 6 year old dog that is clear and free of heart worms.

Is there a way to increase the odds of getting heartworms?

the only prevention I know to be moderately effective is a low dose of ivermec monthly.
