I have found a very simple, “organic”, non-toxic solution to repelling ticks. Cedar oil.
I keep a large spray bottle in my garage and spray my clothes, my legs, my arms and waist whenever I go out, especially to mow the lawn/field or take a hike with the dogs. It is non-staining, smells great and non-oily quickly after applied. Can spray the dogs too. If the dogs get a tick on them, I simply give the tick a squirt and it immediately let’s go and dies. You can spray your house, your bed, your lawn, or anything for that matter. Years ago I had a totally surprise flea infestation when my dog’s frontline stopped working. After literally hundreds of dollars of bug bombs and sprays until I felt like I lived in a chemical waste dump, I discovered this product. One application I did myself to the entire first floor of the house solved the problem and the house smelled great.
You can find the products at cedarcide.com You cannot purchase them in retail outlets. The company told me they used to be in retail but couldn’t compete for shelf space with the large chemical companies.
