Does this keep ticks away as well?

I really haven't try it with ticks, yet. I live in the caribbean near the beach and the mosquitoes and all sort of flying insects appear at sunset and at least this keeps them away. Hope this help. But i hear that for pest control like bedbugs, fleas, ticks and roaches there is a product call Diatomaceus Earth (Food Grade) that is awesome to eliminate them.

Yes it does. I'm impressed. I use a few drops in my lotion for even coverage.

It is formulated to repel insects, however we have not received any feedback regarding ticks so I could not honestly say how effective it would be for that.

Hi Mary! It should! I bought it mostly to keep the mosquitos away but it should work as a tick deterent as well.

I do not know about repelling ticks but they are very good for keeping mosquitoes off of me when I am in the yard. Good luck repelling those ticks!

There's an ecosmart for mosquito and ticks. If you have a home depot near you, go in and ask if they carry that one. Good luck Lisa. Maybe someone else can help you better since we don't have a tick problem.

This product has eliminated my dogs fleas and I have found no ticks. I suppose it means it takes care of everything that bugs your animal.

I have used this product and it does help, however the Precor makes it last and more effective. I have found that keeping down on the grass of surrounding areas and keeping my animals up on their Confortis (flea) pills is the most beneficial. The ticks are the worst this year(in the south), but I have had flea issues that I combatted them with this product and it worked.

absolutely, we spray it on the dogs everytime we walk and the number of ticks they have after the walk is reduced significanytly. this is the worst tick year we've had in the thrty years we lived in the woods so any reduction in ticks deer or wood is great.

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

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.

They do discourage parasite infection. Fleas and worms both have left my dogs after using this product regularly. Not sure about Ticks but the dogs blood tastes like garlic and they smell of garlic so I'll bet the ticks would stay away too. I refuse to use chemicals on my dogs after one got very sick from application of Vet recommended tick treatment. Best of luck.

Yes. We use it to repel gnats and mosquitoes. Unless we're headed into tick territory it's all we use.

They say that the Advantix 2 covers move. Like ticks, Mosquitos. It does more prevention.

Not sure, I haven't had any ticks on me yet this year, but dog has. I get in hot tub nearly every evening, so, maybe!

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 bought this kit for my trip to the southwest thinking I might encounter snakes. I'm not sure it would work for ticks, but you should try since it does have a suction action and ticks do bury themselves deep into the skin...can't hurt..let me know if you're successful. you can also google 'how to remove a tick"

I can't really say, my guy had it on all spring and summer. we don't have flea problems, but we do have ticks, I've had to pull about 6 ticks from him this summer...

I honestly don't know how small a deer tick is. I believe I've heard it is very small, like the tip of a pencil lead. If that's correct, I would not think this mesh will keep it out. The mesh is fairly tightly woven and very small holes, but just wouldn't want to risk it by saying yes.

This product works as a deterrent to keep ticks off. If a tick gets on the dog it rapidly gets stunned and falls off before biting. I have seen them falling off my dog. I don't know if these ticks die shortly after or if they can still cause harm if the dog drops them at home. I haven't seen any tick on my dog for months. I'm due to order another Virbac collar soon.
