Is this product more of a deterrent to keeps ticks off or is it really just an after the fact tick killing product?

This collar works great at both. When tick season started here I did not have one of these handy and I picked 15 ticks off my dog in one evening (YUK)! But as soon as I got the collar on I found no more ticks. I would find one or two in by the water bowl or on the couch but they must have ridden in then bailed off. This is a great product.

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.

I did not dilute it and I put a few drops on the inside of the collar. Seems to work, she did not have a tick after I used it.

I'm not sure about ticks. We use it for mosquitos, it seems to work for that.

I read that this would repel ticks. They said mix 1 part with 2 parts water and spray on your shoes, socks, pants etc. Has anyone tried this and does it work to keep ticks off? I sure hope so!

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

From what I understand about the product...you use it as a deterrent when a "fight" has begun to create a startling effect/distraction. It is not like the anti-chew sprays that you can place on items to deter chewing. Again, we got only about 4 sprays from this bottle used at 10 second intervals as directed from a behavioral specialist.

Bayer claims it is. I have 2 Golden Retrievers. They also swim a few times a week. I leave the collar on.I live in the worst County in NY State for Ticks. I have been very lucky so far. I use the Seresto collar plus I spray their legs and tail every morning before i take them running in the woods.I found a vinegar based tick repellant spray mix on the web.Then I brush them very well when we return. So far, so good !!!

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 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

The directions on the package say not to hang the strip in a room that you occupy for 4 hours or more at a time. I put one in the living room near the door to the bedroom and it keeps the bugs away throughout the house. I also hang one on the back porch, but it isn't as effective and won't last as long as in an enclosed area. I hung it there because some of the reviewers said it helps to repel bugs. I really don't know how effective it is, but I'll try anything to keep the little blood-suckers at bay!

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.

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 know it kills fleas within seconds. might be the same for ticks. We do not have ticks here

Suspend is great for spiders and ticks. The best part about according to Beyer, it is it is safe for people and pets after it is dry. I can not smell it.

See the other answer. I used what I bought for treating wildlife infested with ticks. My biggest problem was getting it onto the animals.

No it doesn't kill ticks, the active ingredient, Picaridin is a synthetic compound made from plants that repells insects.

I live in Southeastern Massachusetts where we have lots and lots of ticks. Since I put the Shoo Tags on my dog's collar. No Ticks. It's wonderful, it's a products that works. Yesterday, after we got back into the house, a flea jumped off him and onto my my. One dead flea. No ticks what so ever. Last year was awful for ticks on him, but since this product, we are tick-free.
