I tried the cheap mint mouthwash on a tick. I soaked him in it and put him in a bottle overnight. The next morning he was still alive. Obviously I need to know the brand name of this mouthwash. The one I bought was from Dollar General. Brand name Clean Mint. Ingredients: Water, Alcohol (8.4 wt%) Glyceryn and/or Sorbitol Poloxamer 407, Polysorbate 80, Flavor, Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Benzoate, Cetylpyridinium Chloride, Domiphen Bromide, Benzoic Acid, Blue 1, Yellow 5 Note; in case of accidental ingestion, seek professional assistance, or contact a poison control center immediately. Do not use for children under 6..... I can't imagine why this stuff didn't kill the tick.. What was the brand and ingredients of the one that killed them instantly????
