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.

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.

Chiggers are terrible around here this year and even taping the jean cuffs at the ankles and long sleeves , shirt tucked in doesn't keep them out! We think the tiny things go through your clothes! Thanks for your reply.

Dam straight within 20 yards, and it will not kill the squirrles!!but it will mak r them think twice. I got these because crows tease my dogs not anymore they dont.

Under direct attack, I doubt it. Pitched in formal campgrounds, you're not likely to encounter ticks unless you wander into unmaintained areas with tall weeds. As I understand tick behavior, they cling to the weeds and get on animals/people as they brush the weeds.

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.

This bracelet doesn't even repel mosquitos so I doubt that it will repel ticks and chiggers. I would use spray or whatever you can to repel chiggers- I've had them and it was horrible! I have not had a tick as of yet. Don't buy these!! Waste of money!!!

Wow never heard of a chigger but after looking it up this product can't hurt to try it on them. Wondering if there is something specific for them because of all the eggs they lay.... Yuck lol

We are in a prime mosquito haven and I didn't really think of this as a repellent for them my main concern was for ticks. When we are outside while I'm being surrounded by the blood thirsty suckers, the don't swarm the dogs like they usually do since we started giving these to them. We have black dogs and every other year they are miserable with the mosquitos bitting them, this year I'm jealous of them.

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

I used the Terro outdoor liquid and bait 6 pack T1806, as I could see them outside and this worked really well. I used 2 bait traps and placed them where they already had a trail to follow. I have not seen anymore big black ants in the house. I have used the small bait traps in the house with success but you need to keep them away from children and pets. Again you need to find the trail where they come into the area where they are located and put the trap where they have to walk on it or through it coming in or going out. Ants follow a path and don't change the path unless you do some thing to interrupt it. In the spring flying ants come out of the nests and fly off to make new nests, if you see them, kill them, use a spray, by hand, or knock them out of the air to the grown and step on them. I have used most of there products for ants and they have worked very well for me. Just read and follow the directions.

See the other answer. I used what I bought for treating wildlife infested with ticks. My biggest problem was getting it onto the animals.

Hello Christopher, My daughter lives in VA & she says it most defiantly kills them. She said it takes a little longer, but oh yes they are dead. We have the pine beetles here in the North West & it kills them also.

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!

absolutely not. at least not for me. I wore one band on each wrist, one on each arm, one on each ankle, and one on each thigh. I live in southern palm beach county, florida, near the beach and no-seeums in my yard are unreal. Plus - i am one of those lucky people that bugs just flock to. anyways, they were biting me right next ot where the bands were. These bands also didnt help me at all with mosquitos. if you are one of those people the biting bugs just love, this is not going to be sufficient. sorry - you need Off deep woods - yes, the chemicals are the only thing that has worked for me. :( absolutely not. at least not for me.

I don't know a lot about ferrets and birds, but my dog has been just fine. All I know is that I haven't had a spider, fly, ant or any other creepy critter in my house in over a year. If they happen to fly in through an open door or whatever, I find them eventually keeled over around the kitchen sink (that's where I have mine plugged in.) I would do more homework regarding your animals before purchasing it.

My experience has shown that each of the safe repel products available on the market work with some insects and not others, and it depends on the part of the country and the particular species/sub-species found there. Ticks are not insects, so none of the products will be as effective against them, and since ticks carry several diseases, it is wise to take other precautions when you're in tick territory.
