Will it repel ticks?

according to the label it will repel all insects. I do have to say this is the best mosquito repellant I have ever used.

That's what Bayer's website says. Both dogs are still tick free after approximately 1 month (the first 2 weeks my outdoor lab did have a few). I will remove them in November (5 months wear) because it will be too cold for ticks. I was planning to store them in their original container & put them back on in May. I do not know if they will still work or not. However, I still feel I got my money's worth either way. Expensive topicals like Advantix did not repel my outdoor dogs ticks. Good luck!

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

I would assume it wouldn't because this is a repellent, which aids in preventing bug bites. Try an anti-itch product.

I found it to be very helpful repelling biting insects. It also relieved the itch of existing bites. Hope it works as well for you.

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!

They do not repel ticks and they will not work indoors unless you have mice in your house. They are cotton balls dipped in a pesticide and then inserted in a tube that is the size of a toilet paper tube.The mice are mostly the carriers of ticks (studies have been done) ticks can only travel about 1 foot away from a host. The mice bring the ticks into our yards.The mice come into the yards and see the cotton and take it back to their nest. The mice and baby mice roll in the treated cotton and kill the ticks and also repels the ticks since they have the pesticide on them. Very humane fir the mice just not the ticks :)You can google "tick tubes" and read a more detailed explanation how it works.

Well the description says it repels bed bugs. It will help repel pests, but it's not the end all and be all. If you have an infestation of bed bugs already, it's not going to eliminate them.

It may help, but it certainly doesn't keep them all away. I don't think any bug repellants keep all ticks away. It works great for keeping away chiggers and mosquitos.

Yes. We use it to repel gnats and mosquitoes. Unless we're headed into tick territory it's all we use.

I use this for tick protection on my pets. I mix it with essential oils and vinegar. I spray it on my pets every time I take them out. Not sure what you are using it for.

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.

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.

I think it just repels moths as well as other insects. I use cedar chips in my dog bed to discourage fleas there.

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

I got it to repel insects and it does not seem to work well for that. Not sure about mice, tho.

Hi Mary! It should! I bought it mostly to keep the mosquitos away but it should work as a tick deterent as well.
