does this product kill ticks in a carpet

Skin so soft is the best bug repellant I have ever used or discovered. However, I use it for my mountain bike riding, not tick prevention in the home. The best answer I have is that I would NOT use it for that because it is not geared so much to kill ticks, but rather keep them off you. Hence the name "repellent" rather than say "eliminator". I would think your best bet might be to call the local kennel or dog expert. I think they would be more knowledgeable on products that kill ticks.

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

I would venture to guess yes. However, the greasy consistency of the product would create an oil slick in your carpet. I used it in Panama or in the woods at home and never get bit by insects.

Yes it will kill roaches. That is why I bought it. It also stopped ants from invading my house. Since I put it along the baseboard on my porch area, I haven't seen any spiders around my front door.

Sorry I'm so late in responding but I haven't checked my email in a while . I don't know that the product kills mites; it will kill fleas . My best recommendation would be to ask a vet for a good product .

I've never had a problem with this product not doing it's job. The issue with carpets is you have to saturate the carpet pad underneath. I use one of those turkey basting/injector syringe with large bore needle at cooking stores to inject or get to the carpet pad underneath. It works nicely to ensure the pad gets the Fizzion as well as the actual carpet. I also use a wet dry vac once I saturate the carpet and then blot to clean. If it's too wet I use the wet dry vac to duck the excess moisture or solution and urine. I put a towel over it and let it air dry after that. I use a black light to ensure the urine is gone.

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

It does kill roaches. Spread it where roaches run, behind cabinets, etc. I use a plastic bottle with small holes in it to sprinkle behind furniture, in cracks and crevices and wherever bugs may be. Works great for fleas and all types of crawling bugs.

It kills spiders and other mites, including bed bugs. So it should kill them also

Any time. BTW - this product is awesome for general pests inside and out. It's especially good for spiders and ticks.

My experience for this product, it does not kill grass. I use it probably every four weeks in my yard which the deer use as a pathway and I have had ticks in the area. Makes the whole place smell nice, reduces the tick population and does not kill grass. Just ordered some more for the summer.Bob

yes it does and ticks also. It kills the fleas and the eggs but it also repels ticks you may see one crawling on the dog but they do not bite and attach to them the ticks i mean but my daughter loves it for the flea control and she has a westie dog and has no problems with fleas or ticks using this and it is cheaper than the vet office.

I have never used the diatomaceous earth and I would not want to put this product in my carpet and pet beds. Borax (what makes up Fleabuster) does not kill the flea, a flea lives for 30 days and in that time it lays lots of eggs. The borax sucks the moisture out of the eggs, they do not hatch, and then there are no more fleas. You break the cycle.

Yes. This product will kill the ants that come in contact with it within 24-48 hours.

Hi Daniel: The package says that it works on cockroaches, ants, earwigs, silverfish, crickets, millipedes, centipedes, fleas & bedbugs. The directions for the fleas say, "thoroughly dust floor area of pet's sleeping quarters , as well as surrounding cracks, crevices, baseboards, behind pictures and wherever presence of these insects are suspected.

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!

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

Don't know about flea and ticks, I have dogs and they are fine. An exterminator I know recommend this product stating it kills everything and it's safe for pets.
