I grabbed a bottle of mint mout
hwash to disinfect some tick bite sites on one of the dogs and sprayed it on
some that were crawling. They died instantly! I sprayed it everywhere in th
e dogs' crate room and ticks boiled out of the cracks and crevices and insta
ntly DIED! I sprayed it in the kennels and in the wooden dog houses an
d all the ticks instantly DIED! I sprayed it on the dogs and the ticks
literally fell off dead. The stuff works!! It also repels mosquitoes
and biting flies!!
I hope it works on ants!!!
Since I had Lyme disease 4 years ago, I tend to get a bit fanatic
when taking the pooch out and about. Lots of grass, trees, marshy
area here, and loaded with deer and mosquitos, gnats and
any/everything else.
On my way out the door, I grab the cheapest peppermint or tea tree
oil I can find. (I save the 'good' stuff for for everything else).
I've thrown one or both into a small mister bottle of water, but
sometimes I just pour some drops on my hands and rub them around all
over. I pay special attention to my always bare feet and legs,
finishing off by going over my arms, neck and ears. If I use the
mister, it goes all over.
Since I've been doing this for the past 3 years I haven't had one
bite nor found any ticks going along for the ride.
I accidentally found a way to tick-proof the dog as well. I had some
YL Lavendar shampoo and used it for her late spring bath. No more
ticks on a dog that used to have 4-5 a week! Totally unexpected benefit.
