I bought some oil that is the pelargonium graveolens oil, but I'm still finding ticks on my dogs; does this variety work better? I apply daily

You might try using this type of botanical, since we do have many customer testimonials saying that our Rose Geranium helped prevent ticks.

I have used this product and it does help, however the Precor makes it last and more effective. I have found that keeping down on the grass of surrounding areas and keeping my animals up on their Confortis (flea) pills is the most beneficial. The ticks are the worst this year(in the south), but I have had flea issues that I combatted them with this product and it worked.

I'm sorry, I haven't had occasion to use it with ticks, so can't help with that. This product has really lived up to its reputation with fleas, and I' ve used the spray for my basement with excellent results. Based on their other products, I would trust it to work on ticks.

I didn't see very much results in the three days I put it on. I would recommend you try Helichrysum essential oil. That stuff does wonders.

They do discourage parasite infection. Fleas and worms both have left my dogs after using this product regularly. Not sure about Ticks but the dogs blood tastes like garlic and they smell of garlic so I'll bet the ticks would stay away too. I refuse to use chemicals on my dogs after one got very sick from application of Vet recommended tick treatment. Best of luck.

No. These were a total waste of my money. We don't have a flea problem but have ticks in the spring. Had these on my 3 dogs for over 2 months and saw no difference in the amount of ticks I picked off daily. At least 7 ticks per dog. I have all smaller dogs. I ended up throwing them out. VERY disappointed.

You can and should dilute rose geranium essential oil prior to applying to you or your pet. There are two ways to do this; you can simply dilute with a carrier oil of choice, (jojoba, almond, coconut oil) or you can use the follow recipe to make a batch of tick repelling spray.http://ladybarbarasgarden.com/rose-geranium-tick-repellent.html

Sorry, don't know but I switched to NutraCares Nutrition Krill Oil. I give it to my four legged friend due to joint issues and it seems to work better for him -- don't know why though.

Hello there, thank you for your question. Our chemists created the formula in order to be effective and safe for dogs. The amount of essential oils in this product is thereof right enough to help get rid of Fleas and Ticks. We hope this helps.

I bought the oil for my daughter. She loves the smell on her skin. I think the rose in it adds a better smell that just geranium alone. Although I like the smell of geranium plants, I would not like to wear the smell. Hope this helps.

Made by the same company that makes products for skin. I add this oil to regular lotion and have had no problems. It is not recommended for this so I am not recommending it. The oil for use as pesticide (works great when mixed with water, dish soap, and cinnamon oil, by the way. Find a recipe online.) costs a lot less. Is it the same? I do not know. Has worked for me though some people find the oil somewhat irritating on skin.

I didn't use it on my little Yorkie, I bought it to spray outside. It really smells like a chemical bug spray and I don't care how safe they say it is, to me anything that smells like that is NOT safe to put on a dog, especiallly a really small one. I use cedar oil spray on my dog and it works great. I don't even use the spot on flea and tick stuff on her except for once or twice in the spring because that is when she seems to get ticks on her. Anyway, I hope this helps you.

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.

Actually, a good "Bug repellant is easily made with one pint Witch Hazel, 20 drops of lemongrass oil, 20 drops eucalyptus oil, 20 drops cedarwood oil..." shake well, then put in a spray bottle...This is excellent for both people, horses, and dogs... I Spray it on a cloth to apply to my horses...Great on fleas and ticks for dogs Lavender is great to sprinkle a few drops on your pillow for a deeper sleep, and added to a carrier oil for a soothing effect for skin irritations...

the flea and tick home spray is a great smelling spray that is safe to use.it can even be sprayed directly on your pet!! it contains only peppermint oil,clove extract and sodium lauryl sulfate.i had a bad experience spraying other chemical flea preparations,and found this which is safe and a more natural mixture.i really like it and have had good results.

Hi, So far so good - fleas and ticks. I live in Rode Island and get our share of ticks. My daughter put one on her mini schnauzer who the ticks love and she hasn't had any so far this year! I have one on my shih Tzu with her it is the fleas and again so far so good.
