does it work outside to keep ticks out of yard?

It says it will, but I'd think would only get ticks when they're very very young. Still in The larva stage.The best tick repellents are insect repellents that contain DEET (may be written as ...N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide or C12H17NO instead of abbreviated as DEET) or Permethrin. Permethrin is also something you'll want to treat on your clothes, especially pants and socks. And Permethrin is lethal to cats. Where as this product says it's safe for pets.

Insect has to crawl thru the powder to be killed. Rain or moisture will ruin the powder. No repellent effect at all. USELESS outdoors unless you pour it right on the insects' path and reapply every time it gets wet.

You know, I have no idea - I have never seen any ticks in my yard. I live in Pueblo, CO. Maybe that explains it. Hopefully some folks who are no strangers to tick infestation, will have an answer for you.

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.

yea around outer edge of your house. i have kill ant beds with it and under house. it prevents them from getting in.

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.

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.

This is just for the yard. They have a flea/tick in a spray bottle that is concentrated differently that is safe for bedding and directly on the pet. Both of these work extremely well and highly recommend. The one you apply to pet or bedding is in a green bottle.

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.

Yes. We mounted ours outside over the door to the back porch. Works great! We got it mainly as a "doggie door". Keeps the hot out and the cool in. Keeps the bugs out and I can leave the door open enough for the dogs to go in and out. We are very happy with it.

I would not use it as mosquito netting outdoors. The package says mosquito netting and that it keeps them out but there are a lot of open spaces and some other reviews said it doesn't work that way. It seems purely decorative in my opinion.

I wouldn't recommend doing that with this particular product. Use Virbac Yard Spray, a 16 oz. sprayer that treats up to 6,000 sq. ft. It kills fleas, ticks, and fire ants. The product description says it doesn't harm your lawn, although it may require several treatments. Virbac Knockout ES Area Treatment is for use indoors, and I'm willing to bet it won't be as effective outdoors.

Yes and also allows you to place outside the area you are protecting. Like if you have the alarm in a shed, you could have this external alarm outside the shed under the eaves. Or if you place in a rv, you could mount this outside so it is heard outside the area you are prortecting.... Product Works Great for price!!!!!!!!!!!1

I bought this to kill bed bugs and cockroaches as an alternative to chemicals sprayed throughout my house. I don't know about outside use.

No, it does not prevent fleas or ticks. It does not prevent anything other than heartworms going untreated. It kills heartworm after the fact IF there are heartworm larvae. If there are not heartworm larvae then it does not matter either way. This is how heartworm preventatives work.

It is great to spread around the outside of the house to keep insects and animals away from the house.

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.

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.
