How do you use it when you want to deter ticks on the human body?Do you dilute it with water and spray your clothing? 4oz isnt much? Thanks

you can use aloe gel to dilute the oil along with peppermint oil or eucalyptus oil. Good luck : )

Hello Joani. I mix it with almond oil but I suppose that any food grade oil would do.

Here is the specific thing you need, but I also use the Taurus SC, which I dilute about 1oz. per 1 gallon of water, & I spray it around the entire perimeter of my house + my neighbor's house. The results are 100%. Me & my closest neighbor haven't seen 1 ant or really any bugs of ANY kind near or in our houses. No Hype here, this stuff is the real deal!..Here is the link for the gel application specifically for Carpenter Ants...http://store.doyourownpestcontrol.com/maxforce-carpenter-ant-bait-gel

It's way too strong to put directly on your skin undiluted. Do what that other person said to do. Dilute it down and use it in a spray bottle, but you do have to shake it good every time before spraying. Avoid your eyes and other sensitive parts of your body. I spray it on me, my clothes, and the furniture in my outdoor room starting around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the mosquitoes start coming. It doesn't smell bad either.

Dee,It is recommended to delute it with a carrier oil, I think I used almond oil. It smells nice and does seem to keep the bugs off. Good luck and hope it works well for you too. Sure is better then the commercial sprays with deet which usually gives me a headache. Let me know if it works for you! Hope it does brossjoyce@gmail.com

I use bifenthrin... dilute to recommended usage... I use inside around baseboards, plumbing openings, etc... outside where you see them coming out of the ground... I use it for all insects... it is safe when dry... lasts for 3 months or so... I mix it up in a hand held spray bottle.. BE SURE AND MARK THE BOTTLE so it doesn't get used for anything else... it kills spiders, fleas, beetles.... awesome stuff... I had a pesticide licensed spray come and spray... it is what he used...

You do just mix it with water. The label is actually a fold out booklet with instructions on mix strengths for the specific type of insect you are trying to kill. Too strong of a mix and the bugs will avoid it due to the smell.

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.

I use it full strength on really stubborn stains, but I do wear gloves, just to be safe. Diluting it never occurred to me because I want it for the tough jobs. But if I were to do so, I would probably put a small amount in a spray bottle and add the same amount of water, getting 10% strength.

I don't know. To prevent Ticks use Permethrin on your clothes and other outdoor gear.

I only used it when going for walks in a nature trail. Stopped using it because dog came home with ticks. works on some dogs, doesn't work on others

You must make it into a repellant and apply it to your skin. Try googling "natural bug spray recipes". Best of luck!

Personally I dilute it till it's 25% strong then I put on my clothes not my skin I get a boomerang reaction from bugs coming at me

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.

Sir you cannot spray this chemical in any part of your body because it will burn you. You can only dilute and used as explained. Seriously, I don't like the smell of it. I use it on occasionally.....

Hello! There are 2 application times for this product to be most effective; early spring, and late summer. You may absolutely begin a second application late July/Early August in time to catch the newly hatched Tick Larvae that will very shortly be looking to "feed". Hope that helps!
