Is it effective against ticks?

We have used this product along with Advantix II and Virbac Preventic Tick Collar for Dogs, so we are not sure as to the individual contributions of each product, but we have not seen any ticks or fleas in our dogs, even though they have daily outings in our large back yard, where I am sure there must be all sorts of critters.

I got this by mistake, thinking the ingredients were natural. Sadly, it's highly toxic, so much so that it warns about getting it on your skin and clothes etc. I would NEVER use this on my dogs. No doubt it kills just about anything though, including ticks!

i have not found anything in the world that is truly effective against ticks, not even this stuff. but it does work great for fleas!

absolutely, we spray it on the dogs everytime we walk and the number of ticks they have after the walk is reduced significanytly. this is the worst tick year we've had in the thrty years we lived in the woods so any reduction in ticks deer or wood is great.

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 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"

the advantage II is a good product. have used it on my 14month old kitty, and so far have not seen any ticks or fleas. just squeeze the tube on the back of the skull, (move all the fur aside, until you reach it's skin), so kitty cannot lick it.

Someone from my group said it should be good for ticks...treatment and prevention. I have not used it for this purpose myself.

I have found a tick (not embedded yet) on my son while he was using this shampoo on a daily basis. I don't think ticks are repelled by the same scents as lice, as a previous responder also said.

For ticks, I have used Frontline, Advantix and Seresto and they all seem to work well. For fleas, Seresto has worked the best for my Shin-tzu.

all I can say is that it absolutely doesn't work for me at all. I had very high hopes, but just last night I pulled two ticks from my dog. I seem to be pulling ticks daily.

Permethrin, acaricide like Bifen will also help control tick population. I am not sure if IGR like Precor will work on ticks but it sure worked on breaking the flea life cycle. For ticks you have to do both chemical and non-chemical methods. Habitat control is very important. Good luck!

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.

http://www.cedarcidestore.com/natural_pest_control.html There's a video and the instructions for dilution. We've used this product to fight fleas in our yard/garden stones area. It WORKS! :-) We also saw a decrease in ticks!

Don't know about ticks, but, it didn't work for fleas on my dogs. Haven't heard anything good about it from my friends.

I don't know. To prevent Ticks use Permethrin on your clothes and other outdoor gear.

This is for flea control only. I did not find it effective. For flea and tick Frontline usually works.

Yes it does!! It is a wonderful treatment for fleas and ticks. Well worth the money :):)

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.
