why would rose geranium oil repel tics
1397383
I think that many different essential oils repel ticks, but rose geranium has been shown by experience to work well. Other than that, I don't know why. Perhaps it just fools the ticks.

Hi Everything I have looked up on Sweet Orange it is used for the same thing that I bought Wild Orange for which is my son's anxiety attacks. I'm not familiar with Sweet Orange myself. Sorry I wish I could be of more help. doTERRA doesn't make sweet orange and it is the only essential oil product I buy.

I have cats, I love this stuff I spray it on my clothes and hat when I'm outside. Cats are not really around me much when I use it. So, I can't really say if it affects them. It works great for me. I live in country, haven't had tic on me yet,cross my fingers.

I do not have a bottle of it around right now so really don't know. Go online to Oasis and I bet you can find out. I'm using something else right now and also tic tacs that I leave under my gum at night.

castor oil is the main ingredient and the supposed one that drives the gophers/moles away. we've had mixed results using it.

No it doesn't mess with the wiring. I have found out that peppermint oil is more effective in scaring away mice.

Peppermint oil sprayed in and around areas of suspected mouse activity is another way to repel them and may be easier to manage in areas where access is limited or where cotton balls my blow away. Combine two teaspoons of peppermint oil with one cup of water and then add a few drops of dish detergent to help the ingredients mix better. Shake it all together in a spray bottle and apply the mixture any place that you have or suspect you have mice. Reapply the spray as the scent fades, usually after about two weeks.Just google for these type of answers.

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

I have never used it on Roses. I have sprayed gardenias, azaleas, vegetables and purselane (spanish moss). It is permethrin based, you might have to research to find that out. This product is oil based - but mixes with water - so it might damage the flower - not the leaf. There are water based (powder based) permethrin products on the market since they are water based, they should not damage the petals, but again I would check with a rose expert.

We would not buy this stuff again, because it is very dangerous if inhaled or gets on your skin. It does kill the roaches, but the smallest amount around my wife made her nauseous. If you read the label (go to google) you will see that it does kill tics and fleas but cannot be applied to animals, infact the warning is that people and animals should not go near treated areas until dry. With my health conscious background, I surprised myself that I purchased this very dangerous product. i will be getting rid of it. Way to risky for me!

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.

Our products contain organic essential oils that neutralize the smell created by the accumulation of tear stains. This is the #1 reason we use essential oils like rosary and lavendar. The oils also protect and condition the fur under the eyes. Hope this helps.

Yes, I bought this mainly for my dogs. I spray it all over them but don't get it in their eyes. I don't know for sure but I suspect it will repel both fleas and ticks but this product is mainly for mosquitoes. Rose geranium oil is a good tick repellent.

I use this product in my bird seed and the squirrels stay away. It is an oil and I don't know how it would work for veggies and flowers.

This, I believe, is a lesser strength. The addition of vitamin E, and aloe vera, is a plus. Not being at full strength isn't a negative, as tea tree oil can sometimes burn sensitive skin at full strength. I have used Hollywood Beauty on itchy scalp with success. My rash was the result of an auto immune condition and the heat from inflamation was killing my hair roots. The aloe vera calmed the inflamation and the vitaminE helped heal the skin. I had used pure teatree oil before, to combat scalp itch and my scalp skin pealed off in places. This doesn't happen with the Hollywood Beauty. It also helps winter dry skin as well. I hope you don't have the extensive itching I had. But I do hope you have similar success.

Very, very slight, but then it's rose geranium. It's a very beneficial and nice essential oil!
