It worked great when I was in Oklahoma filming outside in the heat. I do suggest also spraying the clothing with deet and whipping down with white vinegar after words. Do note that this stuff of Avon skin so soft is sticky. I saw a chigger and a tick not be able to burrow into me at all which was really nice not to suffer with there bites.

Product seems to work well with our "no-see-m's" so I would think they will help with the chigers, as for ticks, I can't say.

Absolutely. This is the best I've found and least harmful to the kids and is as well

My apologies Marilyn I spoke too soon.Try tree tanglefoot in the 15 ounce tub.I've only used the one type for spiders and insects in the house. It works great there.Tanglefoot says that Tree Tanglefoot is specifically for your problem, ants and other insects.Next time I will do more research before I answer.Good luckWalt

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

Very effective. We had a terrible tick problem on all 5 dogs, even spraying the yard and applying the monthly protection could not control this. We started using Ovitrol, spraying all dogs between their monthly application. It starts killing the ticks and nymphs immediately and has a residual action that keeps them from reproducing. We will never be completely tick free, but believe me, I see very few ticks any more.

No. I was disappointed. Even though I followed instructions, the fleas were back in a day or two. We were past tick season already, however. We also live in a wooded area, a part of the northern range of the Southern Pine Barrens in the East.

No not really. They still came around where I had it put down. The sticky traps work the best. Doesnt repel them, which is what I'd prefer....But at least somethings killing them

Kathy, since you place these underground, they could potentially be okay. What I did observe in one case, the critter actually pushed the 1/2 poison block to the surface. In that case, it would be a problem for free range chicks.

I have not tried this, but from my research it does not work well if at all. Ticks are too potentially serious to mess with a theory. My advice, stick to something tried and true. The dog would smell nice, but the risks are too great to justify my trying it.

I think that many different essential oils repel ticks, but rose geranium has been shown by experience to work well. Other than that, I don't know why. Perhaps it just fools the ticks.

Don't bother, it's nice but not effective to get rid of the eggs, bugs, etc. I'm sorry but I had to spend the big bucks to save my animal's health in the end! It works to kind of drown those that are hopping around but does not end the cycles of bugs life!

Don't expect much. Either all our squirrels, raccoons, opossums, etc. are of an ethnicity that love HOT sauce or this stuff doesn't work. We tried a whole bottle of this, to the point all seed was covered with the red and practically dripping, but deterred no animals what so ever. Good luck to you, hope it works for you.

I don't think it would be very effective unless you find where they are coming from. I spray ant & roach killer in the area where I see Them. We spray around the baseboards and the outside of the house about every month when they are active. But even the professionals have a problem finding a permanent solution. But the Ant-Zap is amazing.

I've only used it for box elder bugs and those are about the only bugs we have...it kills them...very effective. When I saw your question I read the manufacturers instructions and it does list mosquitos and chiggers. It list chiggers as a turf pest. Good luck...We don't have chiggers but we're both from the East and I've gotten eaten by chiggers in KY and in IN and they're awful. Hope it kills 'em dead!

I bought this kit for my trip to the southwest thinking I might encounter snakes. I'm not sure it would work for ticks, but you should try since it does have a suction action and ticks do bury themselves deep into the skin...can't hurt..let me know if you're successful. you can also google 'how to remove a tick"

Yes. I got it for that purpose, and it seems to have worked (at least on the tree that I used it on). Now the little devils have spread to my other trees and I'll have to treat them as well.

I live on the Mississippi coast abuout 1/4 mile from the Gulf. We were plagued with fire ants and it was an ongoing balle using granules and baits until I sprayed the entire lawn with a mixture of Tarus. We have had not one "hill" this year.

YES! It's great for ticks. I believe it was actually formulated to repel ticks. Good luck! We love it!!
