HOMEMADE TICK REPELLENT

I will show you how to make this super easy tick repellent spray with just 3 ingredients. It’s safe to use on children over the age of 30 months. Do not spray on tick that is biting you as they will regurgitate venom into you.

Australia here. Eucalyptus oil spray prepared in the same fashion seems to work as well.

Best way to bet rid of ticks carrying Lyme Disease....is to ask the government to recall all the ones that were released...(ahem) ....swam to Old Lyme CT from Plum Island. 😂😂😂😂....😮

I have lime disease. Nothing funny about it.. Im always exhausted..😢

Hello everone! ​@@KOOLBadgeryou should try using TEASEL tincture. It kills the Lyme spirokeets. If you feel blah 2days after you start using it, its bc they are dying off. Dont stop using.

[@leonadubois249]

We made some up today using co-op gold dish soap and my grandson's sprayed it directly on two different ticks and it killed them!!!! Amazing stuff!

I’ve got a lot of peppermint growing around my garden and some in it. Spreads like crazy other stuff grows with it just fine ,the tomatoes are cucumbers doesn’t bother them. Field next to my garden has a lot of ticks, but I rarely see one in my garden.

Coloidal Silver, made at home and used immediately: 2 oz. Reversed all s-ympt-oms at 20 m-inutes. $ymptoms reversed as explosions of "all better". Took 4 minutes to complete. I had made warm distilled water, to light medium yellow. I used the same for a complete week. It reversed a heart fungus that week also.

[@anangryranger]

Thanks for the video. Great information. Living in the woods of East Texas, both myself and my dog are constantly finding ticks on us. I can't walk 200 ft in the woods without finding one crawling on me. My dog, who stays outside, is always getting them in spite of treatment of flea and tick control products. And instant subscriber!👍

[@nonesuchfarm160]

Thank you so much. Be sure to use lots of peppermint oil. You want it strong smelling. Thank you for subscribing.

@@nonesuchfarm160 Thank you ma'am, I'll be shopping tomorrow, and will make a definite point to buy this key ingredient! Come to think of it, I recall a bug repellent that I had once that was laced with peppermint. It worked great, but then I couldn't find it again. Making my own insures I'll never run out.👍

Probably. But I'm not sure how you'd get dogs to mix all the ingredients. They have no fingers and their paws are not like hands. It would be difficult for them, but not dangerous.

[@johnparkhurst825]

What do you think about the King James bible museum out in AZ?

[@leonadubois249]

Does it have to be dawn dish soap or will any brand work

[@nonesuchfarm160]

Any brand will work. I like Dawn because it breaks up oil really well and that’s the purpose of using it. To spread the essential oil throughout the water.

[@Soundofwindonsand]

Probably Yes, it's how it's made, very Sticky, it really doesn't come on fd your hands until you use Hot water, great for fire ants.. good luck

Is this safe to spray on dogs?

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I asked my vet and they didn’t recommend it only because there haven’t been enough studies with animals and essential oils. I, however , do spray it on my shepard’s legs as the amount of essential oil is small compared to volume.

[@bdizzle561]

Does this stain clothing?

Put powdered lime out. Put it down thick it will not hurt you animals but it will run off all insects

[@coochalena2616]

Is it safe to spray on dogs?

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I called my vet and they say it’s not recommended to use essential oils on pets as they haven’t been enough studies. I do use this on my dog as it’s such a small amount since it’s diluted in water.

[@catalinamargomyers9970]

Can this be sprayed on animals? As we know the chemicals given to them are harsh on their organs and internal systems.

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I called my vet and she said that it’s not recommended because there hasn’t been enough studies on essential oils and animals. I have used it on my dog’s legs and know several people who use it on their pets. The amount is so small in this. Also essential oils are not chemicals. They are the natural oils extracted from plants. The only chemical would be dawn dish soap and again it’s diluted enough that your pets should be ok.

I have a call in to my vet. I'm waiting for them to get back to me. I will keep you posted.

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I just spoke with my vet. She said there aren’t enough studies out there on essential oils for pets. She said it’s really hard as essential oils can be different concentrations. I honestly feel safe using it on my dog as I just spray her legs and I’m not using just straight oil on her.
