I have had good results using it mixed with almond oil. I've not had a tick on me when I remember to put it on me before going into our yard. We live beside woods and lots of animals come into our yard--turkeys by day and raccoons by night. Also, it smells wonderful. We live in Tennessee, about 30 miles south of Nashville, near Thompsons Station.

I purchased this because we began having a tick invasion in the house, on the dog, etc. I was apprehensive about putting it ON the dog, but did place some around the house and on its collar. Never saw ticks inside again and saw less on the dog while we used it. I also put it on myself & daughter before we go out, and it did help in areas we usually pick up ticks on ourselves. I only found one tick crawling on my jeans last summer while using rose geranium, whereas the others I went out with were covered. A little goes a long way. Do realize that rose geranium oil, while effective, has some debate over estrogenic properties and probably would not recommend using it on males.

Hi Maria, I have not heard of it used for ticks. I love it in my bath. I wonder if you can contact the seller and ask them? I also wonder if other essential oils would work for tick prevention? Guess this isn't much help, but understand your wanting to use something natural in an enviornment you are in everyday! I use peppermint for keeping a type of biting fly off of me (they love me for some unknown reason; we don't have many ticks where I live), around my hairline. It works good when I remember to put it on! Google the oil and see what info comes up.

I have had a tick problem at my house for more than 20 years. We try everything to get rid of them. I just heard about rose geranium oil and bought some locally for $18 for half the size here. It's been about 3 weeks since I started using it on the dogs (6 long haired dogs). The number of ticks is minimal now. I'm amazed. I put a drop on my hand - rub it on the neck and shoulders. Another drop and I rub it over the lower back. Then one more drop and give them a rub on the chest. If I miss a day, I end up with ticks. It I put the three drops on them - virtually tick free. It's amazing. I've tried everything. This is working as good, if not better than anything else I've used and it's natural. I have had a tick problem at my house for more than 20 years.

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 am sold on Seresto. we live in a rural area with lots of trees and our dog is allergic to every flea medication on the market. so far after a month she has no fleas or ticks and no adverse reaction.

I only used it when going for walks in a nature trail. Stopped using it because dog came home with ticks. works on some dogs, doesn't work on others

It is highly recommended by my Vet who I completely trust. That being said, I live in a wooded area and ticks are a big problem. I've used these collars for years with great results. My Vet recommends changing out the collars every 2 rather than 3 months. I the winter, I'll push it to 3 months but in spring and summer I follow his advice and switch them at 2 months. If ticks are a big issue in your area, I think you'll be very happy with this product.

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.

To me and Rocky it definitely kills FLEAS, and everything else dealing with fleas,(!), I gave it to him with Alpo t-bone dog food, ( fancy it up to let them know everything is good,their good,and your going to make all better.) We don't have ticks where I live and I don't take him where ticks are bec of(underline) diseases. And he has short hair. He didn't have any problems with the medication, so I suggest using, however, TOTALLY WATCH ANIMAL FOR POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. With animal luv, Connie and Rocky Stephenson cm42013@gmail.com

They say that the Advantix 2 covers move. Like ticks, Mosquitos. It does more prevention.

Works fine Michelle.....removed one of the Northeast Pa deer ticks just today from my dogs leg. Suggest you add a small magnifying glass to your tick kit so as to determine the back end. The taper of the removal slot goes down to nearly razor thickness. it does go under them....just draw back and gently lift up and "click", out they come.

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.

Not that I've noticed but I usually wear dark clothes or spray on my arms neck and garden boots. It does serm to work well because I am a tick magnet. I had 8 bites in 2 weeks , now none.

I am not really sure if it is working on ticks. I have seen only one tick so far this season. My neighbors have seen many and they use other bug sprays. I've never had a tick problem so I couldn't guarantee it works on them. I can only assume since it is working on the spiders and these gigantic ants we have here that the ticks are history as well. good luck Elizabeth. Trish

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.

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

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.

I agree with Sally's answer. We've been using them in our woods for several years, and have only seen a couple ticks in that time, when people around us are seeing them all summer long. Very good product, but not for indoors.

Megan I cannot be certain however I will say I camped right near the coast of Connecticut for 4 days and I did not have a problem with ticks or mosquitos. Just fyi "Lyme disease" got its name from Old Lyme, Ct and I was just south of there. Do a google search on "essential oils tick repellent" and you will find a bunch of different mixes that work well for you and your pets. Here's one that I found..http://www.primallyinspired.com/easy-natural-tick-repellent-that-really-works-essential-oils/I hope this helps you.
