Does this repell ticks?

There are several settings for the ultrasonic sound frequencies. I have it set for rodents and it works great. There is a distinct setting for insects, and spiders. I can't answer whether it works on ticks since I purchased it primariy for mice. Since the setting for rodents worked even better than I hoped; I would assume the insect and spider setting may work as well too. Again, I haven't tried this setting and don't know.

Do NOT know, never got mine, BUT there is NO formally documented report from reliable source these things work. most of stuff is just rumors.

Michelle,Sorry, but I have no experience with those. I have removed small ticks in Missouri, Florida and Texas, but they were bigger than the head of a pin. You need to be able to identify the direction of the body. You orient the point of the opening toward the rear of the tick, and press it down against your skin as you slowly move it "rear to head" direction. If the tick was so small that you could not tell the difference, it might not work. I think it would as long as you could.

I've used this product before and again this year after I found a couple of ticks on my dogs. It seems to work excellent as after I use it I haven't found any ticks, and I don't always remember to use it everyday, but do most days and I've very happy not to be finding anymore ticks!

Not sure as we don't have that problem. We do have "skeeters" big enough to carry you away and it works great for them. Have not seen any ticks since I have started using.

I use it to repel Mosquitos on my dogs. I spray them and the whole area around them and inside their dog house. Once it starts getting to high 80's we spray them every nite. They've never had fleas or ticks as long as we use it like I said.

Not at all! It works terrible on seed ticks or anything very small. We had to use tweezers.

Nope. My wife has this and we've used it on the dogs as well as us, and it doesn't phase ticks or mosquitoes one little bit. We get ate up, and still have to pull ticks off the dogs.

It may help, but it certainly doesn't keep them all away. I don't think any bug repellants keep all ticks away. It works great for keeping away chiggers and mosquitos.

Since I don't take my dog into the areas where she picks up ticks daily I just use it as needed. I spray it on her right before we leave to go for a hike or walk a couple of times a week.

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!

I believe it works by interrupting the reproductive cycle of ticks. It gets picked up by mice and used in their nests, thus getting to ticks. Unless you have mice nests inside and like toxic chemicals in your house I would not use indoors.

If you use this on the animals skin it may irritate, I would think that you would have to dilute it in another carrier oil. I don't know if it would deter ticks or not. You dog would smell great though.

Works fine Michelle.....removed one of the Northeast Pa deer ticks just today from my dogs leg. Suggest you add a small magnifying glass to your tick kit so as to determine the back end. The taper of the removal slot goes down to nearly razor thickness. it does go under them....just draw back and gently lift up and "click", out they come.

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

I'm sorry, I haven't had occasion to use it with ticks, so can't help with that. This product has really lived up to its reputation with fleas, and I' ve used the spray for my basement with excellent results. Based on their other products, I would trust it to work on ticks.

I have not used it against ticks and do not know about using it around cats

I apply it daily, every time I take my dogs on their daily walk. It doesn't stay on past a day from my experience. So far, I haven't found any ticks on my dogs yet (been using for 4 months).
