Unless something changed Advantage II is not billed to kill ticks (though the other person's experience may have been different). You can check out Frontline Plus but there are reports of immunity to their primary ingredient, fipronil.

You can dilute it with water an make a great insect repellent. I would use about an ounce of Permethrin to 15 ounces water. That will give you a .0625% solution, which is a little higher than store bought tick spray.

It worked for me. I had a recurring ant problem that left me killing ants every night when I got home and spraying horrid bug spray, just to find more ants the next day. After a couple of weeks of this and a visit from the expensive bug guy (with no change), I tried Riddex. It worked in less than 24 hours and I haven't seen an ant in months.

I read that this would repel ticks. They said mix 1 part with 2 parts water and spray on your shoes, socks, pants etc. Has anyone tried this and does it work to keep ticks off? I sure hope so!

No, it does not prevent fleas or ticks. It does not prevent anything other than heartworms going untreated. It kills heartworm after the fact IF there are heartworm larvae. If there are not heartworm larvae then it does not matter either way. This is how heartworm preventatives work.

No it doesn't kill ticks, the active ingredient, Picaridin is a synthetic compound made from plants that repells insects.

My critters are not exposed to tick areas so I don't know. It does a great job on flea destruction. CC

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.

It kills mites on contact and they are very hard to kill, over the counter products for lice are not as strong as what is needed for mites, so I would say "Yes"-it cleared the mites out!

This product does not even work on bed bugs. Will it kill dust mites? I do not know. Does it kill bedbugs no it does not. Hope this helps

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.

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.

I've been using this for a couple of years and I have not seen a single tick... My place was infested with fleas when I got this the first time, and it got rid of all of them in no time.

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 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
