Do these repel ticks as well?

I do not know about repelling ticks but they are very good for keeping mosquitoes off of me when I am in the yard. Good luck repelling those ticks!

My experience has shown that each of the safe repel products available on the market work with some insects and not others, and it depends on the part of the country and the particular species/sub-species found there. Ticks are not insects, so none of the products will be as effective against them, and since ticks carry several diseases, it is wise to take other precautions when you're in tick territory.

Yes they do. I try not to leave them out except when I'm there hunting. I always spray them with WD 40 when I put them away. I use them mainly to keep the coons away from my deer feeders. We are overrun with coons and they can empty a feeder quick.

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

Yes. It can be used to repel a variety of insects (primarily fleas and ticks both). http://www.ehow.com/about_6447560_diatomaceous-earth-used-tick-control.html and http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/diatomaceous_earth_fleas.html

I'm not sure, but I made a comment to my wife the other day telling her I haven't seen any ticks around or in the house in the last few months. Our dog is protected against ticks but our cat is not and she is outside quite a bit. My house is located in the woods and we have a lot of deer, coyotes etc. and I know for a fact there are ticks there. I can't answer your question for sure (have not seen dead ticks) but something is keeping them away from my home. In fact I've had no issues with any crawling bugs, mice etc. This Cyper insecticide is good stuff.

Yes. I buy the 4 pack and cut off as required for my dogs. This is by far the #1 product on fighting ticks. I had 4 (now 3) dogs (GSD to Chi-hua-hua) about 3 years ago and this made the difference on winning the war. Extremely recommended.

i do not no. i know they work on the ones we had here . we still had to use bug stuff around the outside of the house , due to nasty neighbors moving and leaving behind such a mess . you can sure try them. i no they work wonders on mice , and so far we have not seen any bugs either .

Michelle,Sorry, but I have no experience with those. I have removed small ticks in Missouri, Florida and Texas, but they were bigger than the head of a pin. You need to be able to identify the direction of the body. You orient the point of the opening toward the rear of the tick, and press it down against your skin as you slowly move it "rear to head" direction. If the tick was so small that you could not tell the difference, it might not work. I think it would as long as you could.

Not sure as we don't have that problem. We do have "skeeters" big enough to carry you away and it works great for them. Have not seen any ticks since I have started using.

It is supposed to, but I put them in in the fall to repel mice. It is still cold where I live so I can't answer your question.

There are two main species of Rose Geranium oil available, the one with the botanical name Pelargonium capitatum x radens is what you are looking for to repel ticks. Rose Geranium oil under the name Pelargonium graveolens is not the same exact thing, and it is more common. This product does repell ticks. Works really well on my dog.

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.

Under direct attack, I doubt it. Pitched in formal campgrounds, you're not likely to encounter ticks unless you wander into unmaintained areas with tall weeds. As I understand tick behavior, they cling to the weeds and get on animals/people as they brush the weeds.

The Preventic collar works on ticks. The active ingredient works against ticks.

I purchased 4 pet protectors. I had grave doubts that this would work and it seemed expensive but.......Of the 4 dogs I have not found a flea on any of them and two are allergic to fleas so even if I did not see one I would know if one had bit them. One has had two ticks that I know of. I also spray my two with Pet Peeve before our walk in the park which is daily. The two that are my daughters do not get sprayed and the one has had two ticks. Overall I would take the chance that these certainly do help and I would buy them again. Kathy

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