It only kills fleas. The package states "For treatment of flea infestations on dogs." It's commonly used by Vets when they have to see a dog that is full of fleas, as it kills most fleas within 30 minutes and the rest within 4 hours. I use a monthly flea treatment and only use Capstar when my dog has "playtime" with some dogs, whose owners don't use flea meds. My pet comes home with 30 or so fleas each time and this kills them right away. Fleas make my dog miserable, so this product works great. I still flea comb him as Capstar may leave a flea or two alive.

Yes it does and if it has an issue for example it gets stuck it will give you a couple beeps. It's not a bad product works well but one if my plates only worked a few times the other has been fine.

Yes, it does click as it counts down ..... the electronic timers do not click but they don't work in all applications ..... hope this helps.

I have a cat who spends a majority of his time outdoors, so I tried it on him first. It's supposed to stop working this month and still no signs of fleas or ticks. I'd say it started working within a week but likely much sooner.

Hi Jeremy, It does not tick. There is a on-off switch to activate a buzzer when time is over.Debbie

No I do not believe so, at least I saw no indication that it does. From my understanding it just kills the adult fleas in the first 24 hrs and then must be used monthly for it to work as a preventative. My cats are strictly indoors so I never look at tick products.

Permethrin, acaricide like Bifen will also help control tick population. I am not sure if IGR like Precor will work on ticks but it sure worked on breaking the flea life cycle. For ticks you have to do both chemical and non-chemical methods. Habitat control is very important. Good luck!

Sorry, I have an inside dog and she only catches a flea every now and then. The flea control with this product is excellent but can not say how well it would work for ticks.

Yes it does. It doesn't actually make a clicking sound but does stop at each setting.

Hi, no I don't think it kills ticks its just for fleas/Lice. I'm not sure if you can get one that kills fleas and ticks you may have to get two different ones , I hope this helps

No. It is a very quiet timer. It does tick, but you have to be very close to hear it.

Sorry, but we do not have a problem with ticks, possibly because the dog is in a fenced area and thus deer, who carry lots of ticks, do not stray in our yard; and the dog chases away other critters. It does work very well for fleas, though we have rarely had to deal with that problem because we use a 7 month collar AND monthly Hartz drops which for many years has worked well.

It surely does - at least ours does. It is very sensitive tho, the least little movement and he'll go off - at least 2 or 3 times. Great for laughs -

I am not really sure if it is working on ticks. I have seen only one tick so far this season. My neighbors have seen many and they use other bug sprays. I've never had a tick problem so I couldn't guarantee it works on them. I can only assume since it is working on the spiders and these gigantic ants we have here that the ticks are history as well. good luck Elizabeth. Trish

Not that I've noticed but I usually wear dark clothes or spray on my arms neck and garden boots. It does serm to work well because I am a tick magnet. I had 8 bites in 2 weeks , now none.

You need to leave it on all the time. It is effective for about 3 months depending on how often you get it wet. I take mine off when tick season is over.

Yes, it has worked for my 2 dogs, a chocolate lab and a yellow lab, and each weigh about 95lbs. We haven't found any ticks since we purchase about 3 months ago.
