How well does this work on ticks? My dogs are having a problem. They are treated but I need to treat our home.

This product works well, just follow the recommended measurements and you should be able to take care of any pest. This product works great and continues to work months after application.

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.

I can tell you from experience that this stuff is the real deal but the company does not list ticks as a target pest so don't experiment. This is an exact science of chemistry. Fleas are listed but not ticks. I'm sure if the manufacturer could list ticks they would. Find something that "targets" ticks specifically.

I really don't know. I treat my yard with Diazanon pellets and I just never have fleas or ticks. I am thinking it should kill them. My reason for this purchase was because there was an old rent house next door full of roaches and we could not get rid of them. It did work. For roaches i had to spray every three months inside and out to get rid of them. My guess is if it says it kills ticks then it probably does.

I purchased this because we began having a tick invasion in the house, on the dog, etc. I was apprehensive about putting it ON the dog, but did place some around the house and on its collar. Never saw ticks inside again and saw less on the dog while we used it. I also put it on myself & daughter before we go out, and it did help in areas we usually pick up ticks on ourselves. I only found one tick crawling on my jeans last summer while using rose geranium, whereas the others I went out with were covered. A little goes a long way. Do realize that rose geranium oil, while effective, has some debate over estrogenic properties and probably would not recommend using it on males.

Because you need to follow the instructions, the dog need to be clean of fleas and flea eggs, which means you will need to ensure to treat the dog against fleas before, also I think that if the environment is too full of fleas it won't work either, my dog is medium size and so far it seems to be working, although, I do shampoo him (regular shampoo not against parasites) once a week, and this, maybe, also helps. As far as I understood this is against fleas and not ticks, I use a collar for ticks.

Since I don't take my dog into the areas where she picks up ticks daily I just use it as needed. I spray it on her right before we leave to go for a hike or walk a couple of times a week.

I am not really sure if it is working on ticks. I have seen only one tick so far this season. My neighbors have seen many and they use other bug sprays. I've never had a tick problem so I couldn't guarantee it works on them. I can only assume since it is working on the spiders and these gigantic ants we have here that the ticks are history as well. good luck Elizabeth. Trish

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

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

We are in a prime mosquito haven and I didn't really think of this as a repellent for them my main concern was for ticks. When we are outside while I'm being surrounded by the blood thirsty suckers, the don't swarm the dogs like they usually do since we started giving these to them. We have black dogs and every other year they are miserable with the mosquitos bitting them, this year I'm jealous of them.

We used this for fleas exclusively. We have an indoor cat and someone brought the fleas in. It worked wonderfully for the flea problem. Unfortunately I don't know how well it would work for ticks. I would imagine it would work great at killing existing ticks but not sure how long it would prevent new ticks. I think you can reapply every two weeks safely.

From march till now I took a couple ticks off & 3 fleas on my maltipoo. The fleas did seem to be repelled because she didn't itch & before she would get bad from a bite so since I had problems when using the poisons I am glad I got it now. Were in the woods & high tick area. I am so glad not to use the poisonous stuff even though I don't understand how the scalar waves work & hope down the road we don't hear something bad about it but for now I'm happy with the purchase.

If the ticks aren't stuck to their skin already I would say yes. Personally I've never had to get a tick off my dog (knock on wood) but I'd say if you angle it a certain way you'd be able to get them off.

I am not sure about ticks but it works great for fleas, the fleas get stuck in between the two rows in the comb so you get more than one at a time. I would assume it should work for ticks as well but I am not positive.

I've never used this for ticks. My best guess would look at the label or website for further information.

Skin so soft is the best bug repellant I have ever used or discovered. However, I use it for my mountain bike riding, not tick prevention in the home. The best answer I have is that I would NOT use it for that because it is not geared so much to kill ticks, but rather keep them off you. Hence the name "repellent" rather than say "eliminator". I would think your best bet might be to call the local kennel or dog expert. I think they would be more knowledgeable on products that kill ticks.

I use it to repel Mosquitos on my dogs. I spray them and the whole area around them and inside their dog house. Once it starts getting to high 80's we spray them every nite. They've never had fleas or ticks as long as we use it like I said.

If you hook it right but I would say no. Last time I my dog had a tick it was hard to hook on the head and the tick was tiny. I ended up using tweezers.

Hmm,good question. I will admit its super terrific for fleas - best product on the market. I didn't notice any ticks last year though. Usually I find them dead on the floor, but last year I had none. So maybe it is good for ticks. I spray this around all my outdoor entrances, around windows, and its great for flies as well. Hope this helps.
