used the mint mouthwash on flies, and it worked, but not "instantly. they would crawl around, and i would zap them again a couple of times (target practice) and soon i had kills laying all over. after shootin them for about 3 days, there were no flies left and they haven't repopulated the area for over a week now.

haven't heard back from the horse people in tucson, yet, about ticks, and or fleas.........jim

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????
