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

I have cats, I love this stuff I spray it on my clothes and hat when I'm outside. Cats are not really around me much when I use it. So, I can't really say if it affects them. It works great for me. I live in country, haven't had tic on me yet,cross my fingers.

I never have to use anything in order for this product to work effectively to ward of ticks and fleas from both of my cats. I normally bathe my cats every 3 to 4 weeks with this great product and it really works for them to keep ticks and fleas away.

This trap is very safe and will not hurt the cat. This trap is large enough for a 20 lbs animal. Mind, cats are very smart and step very lightly - trap trigger may not go off... Just follow instructions which come with the trap. Good luck!

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.

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.

No. It didn't work at all with my cats. I used it for months and they just walked right past it.

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.

They do not repel ticks and they will not work indoors unless you have mice in your house. They are cotton balls dipped in a pesticide and then inserted in a tube that is the size of a toilet paper tube. The mice are mostly the carriers of ticks (studies have been done) ticks can only travel about 1 foot away from a host. The mice bring the ticks into our yards. The mice come into the yards and see the cotton and take it back to their nest. The mice and baby mice roll in the treated cotton and kill the ticks and also repels the ticks since they have the pesticide on them. Very humane fir the mice just not the ticks :) You can google "tick tubes" and read a more detailed explanation how it works.

I've got 4 cats wearing this collar: 1 16 lb. Maine Coon, 1 15 lb. dom. short-hair, 1 12 lb. dom. short-hair, and 1 9 lb. long-haired cat. This is their second set of these collars and they're all indoor-outdoor kitties, plus I live in a heavily wooded area. No ticks, no fleas whatsoever since they started wearing them and there have been no skin problems or irritation at all on any of them. The collars are made to break if they get caught on something.

From the way I read this it would not be harmful to my cats. I would not eat it myself. This product worked with my being very tenasious about putting it where they were, on carpets, along baseboards etc. I also rub it on the side of furniture. Bed bugs crawl on it and then they dry up. I also was very deligent on getting white sheets so that i could kill them as I saw them also. Took some time but I saved myself about $1000.00 because an exterminator would of had to heat the whole home!!!!

I have 2 cats, ages 3 and 9. They have had flea treatments since they were old enough [see directions on product]. They have had no adverse reactions and it does work. Maybe you should consult with a vet before using it on an elder kitty - who hasn't used the product before? - to see if the dosage & ingredients would pose a problem.

We bought these because we have outside cats and did not want to poison the mice and have them in turn poison the cats. The device makes a subtle clicking noise and has a red light that flashes when it clicks. I haven't read anything thing saying you could not use with cats. They definitely work, it did take about a week before our traps were no longer needed though. We are very happy with the pest repellers.

I believe it helps.I put it on my cats bed and any other place she may sleep and we have not had a flea infestation yet this year as compared to last year.My cat goes out in the yard and woods every morning and thus is around fleas and ticks.

Don't know about ticks, but, it didn't work for fleas on my dogs. Haven't heard anything good about it from my friends.

The chemical that kills the ticks is in such a low dose that it does not effect the mice. It is like putting a tick preventative on your dog or cat that goes outside -it kills the ticks, but does not harm the host. Your strays will be fine. Hope this helps. Shawn

I have not found any information that it works against ticks - I would go on the manufacturers site and adm them for their input

I would recommend just leaving it on as it is all natural just Lavender & Chamomile n will not harm them at all. It works great for that! Is your cat a little older? Also try playing with kitty before bedtime. I use them all the time and order the 3-packs on line which is cheaper and well worth the small price each month - especially when it works. Don't be shocked when powder comes off of the collar onto the kitty that is normal. I usually wipe some off of their fur and leave some still on the fur. Leave the collar on though.
