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

I can tell you from experience that this stuff is the real deal but the company does not list ticks as a target pest so don't experiment. This is an exact science of chemistry. Fleas are listed but not ticks. I'm sure if the manufacturer could list ticks they would. Find something that "targets" ticks specifically.

I bought this kit for my trip to the southwest thinking I might encounter snakes. I'm not sure it would work for ticks, but you should try since it does have a suction action and ticks do bury themselves deep into the skin...can't hurt..let me know if you're successful. you can also google 'how to remove a tick"

Hi, no I don't think it kills ticks its just for fleas/Lice. I'm not sure if you can get one that kills fleas and ticks you may have to get two different ones , I hope this helps

Sorry, but we do not have a problem with ticks, possibly because the dog is in a fenced area and thus deer, who carry lots of ticks, do not stray in our yard; and the dog chases away other critters. It does work very well for fleas, though we have rarely had to deal with that problem because we use a 7 month collar AND monthly Hartz drops which for many years has worked well.

We used this for fleas exclusively. We have an indoor cat and someone brought the fleas in. It worked wonderfully for the flea problem. Unfortunately I don't know how well it would work for ticks. I would imagine it would work great at killing existing ticks but not sure how long it would prevent new ticks. I think you can reapply every two weeks safely.

Yes, but if you see a tick on your dog it's better to remove it than wait for the collar to work. After putting the collar on the dog it takes 2 days to be effective.

Product makes no mention of ticks - which it probably would if it were effective on ticks. Call their 800 number and ask.

There are several settings for the ultrasonic sound frequencies. I have it set for rodents and it works great. There is a distinct setting for insects, and spiders. I can't answer whether it works on ticks since I purchased it primariy for mice. Since the setting for rodents worked even better than I hoped; I would assume the insect and spider setting may work as well too. Again, I haven't tried this setting and don't know.

I've been using this for a couple of years and I have not seen a single tick... My place was infested with fleas when I got this the first time, and it got rid of all of them in no time.

No you need to use a good flea product.This is for Ticks only & it works very well I change it every 6 months.

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

No, it does not prevent fleas or ticks. It does not prevent anything other than heartworms going untreated. It kills heartworm after the fact IF there are heartworm larvae. If there are not heartworm larvae then it does not matter either way. This is how heartworm preventatives work.

I believe it works by interrupting the reproductive cycle of ticks. It gets picked up by mice and used in their nests, thus getting to ticks. Unless you have mice nests inside and like toxic chemicals in your house I would not use indoors.

There's an ecosmart for mosquito and ticks. If you have a home depot near you, go in and ask if they carry that one. Good luck Lisa. Maybe someone else can help you better since we don't have a tick problem.

If you use this on the animals skin it may irritate, I would think that you would have to dilute it in another carrier oil. I don't know if it would deter ticks or not. You dog would smell great though.

I did find a tick on one of my kids last summer after he'd been using this about 9 months. Maybe it was a fluke and he would have had more without it.. hard to say!
