Does this kill ticks? Already tried 35% Permethrin and no effect.

I have had no problem with ticks in my yard since i have been using for 2 years now. On page 25 of the pamphlet that comes with the product it list ticks as one of the pest to control with a mixture of 0.07-0.15 fl. ozs. per 1000 square feet. If you do not have the pamphlet, you van view it online at http://www.controlsolutionsinc.com/data/products/other/136_BIFEN_XTS_Final_03192013.pdf Hope this helps.

I can't confirm ticks but it seems to kill everything else real good, I use a 4 gallon pump up back pack sprayer and lay this stuff down thick, it seems to keep everything away for a few months. I would think this would work for ticks, its pretty strong and you can make it stronger if you want.

My critters are not exposed to tick areas so I don't know. It does a great job on flea destruction. CC

I don't think so it doesn't even work for fleas. I wouldn't think it works for ticks.

This bracelet doesn't even repel mosquitos so I doubt that it will repel ticks and chiggers. I would use spray or whatever you can to repel chiggers- I've had them and it was horrible! I have not had a tick as of yet. Don't buy these!! Waste of money!!!

It worked for me. I had a recurring ant problem that left me killing ants every night when I got home and spraying horrid bug spray, just to find more ants the next day. After a couple of weeks of this and a visit from the expensive bug guy (with no change), I tried Riddex. It worked in less than 24 hours and I haven't seen an ant in months.

I cannot answer your specific question but I can tell you that I took this product to my family doctor for him to read the ingredients in it. His answer was that there was nothing in the product that is harmful and if it works if was o.k. to use the product. It does work successfully and in 7 days the tick bite area was gone.

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.

I don't have experience with bed bugs, but they, like ticks, mosquitos, chiggers and other bloodsucking critters, are insects with an exoskeleton. Permethrin kills insects by dissolving their exoskeleton, giving them nothing to hold their insides inside. Because of this, it will most likely kill bed bugs, but I don't think the eggs are affected in the same way by the permethrin, so follow up treatment may be needed to kill the newly hatched nymphs. Permethrin is effective on clothing for several washes, so it my kill the nymphs shortly after they hatch without reapplication and since they are not sexually mature, you don't have to worry about more eggs. The trick with bed bugs is that they can hide ANYWHERE so you have to make sure you spray everything otherwise one room may have a huge infestation while others are biologically sterile. Apparently this stuff is crazy bad for cats, so you should choose a different route if you have cats.

I'm not sure about it. I use this product for lice and nits. I never try to use it for ticks.

YES! It's great for ticks. I believe it was actually formulated to repel ticks. Good luck! We love it!!

You can dilute it with water an make a great insect repellent. I would use about an ounce of Permethrin to 15 ounces water. That will give you a .0625% solution, which is a little higher than store bought tick spray.

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.

I have re-read the box and the label mentions nothing of ticks. Lots of references to fleas, but no ticks. But, it may be worth a try! I think if my dog had a few ticks, I'd try it. Good luck. Joe

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.

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

In my homeowner experience Permethrin works the best of any chemical I have found. It lasts for 4-6 weeks when applied properly. It doesn't completely eliminate mosquitoes in our heavily wooded area, but makes it possible to sit outside and enjoy our backyard in the heart of mosquito season. We may swat one or two when sitting outside, but in untreated areas we get attacked. I did not see anywhere near the same performance when I used Bifenthrin. I did write a blog post on how I apply it to my yard with a yard sprayer -and it continues to be our product of choice.

Hi The Advantage II for Cats will kill ticks and then repel new ones. Check out Google with your question and it kills tick and fleas. I feel it is a.. real benefit for cats and I have used it for years. Thanks, Gary Frost
