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.

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I tried planting peppermint on my lawn but I mowed it before it took root.

[@warmwoolsoxgood4559]

I’m trying this. Found our very first tick on my husband’s ankle a short while ago after moving here almost a decade ago! Grrrrrrrr. Ticks are not a happy thing to find! This is the Pacific Northwest. At the edges of the Gifford Pinchot forest. Thanks a lot! I hope it works!

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 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.👍

[@CricketsBay]

Peppermint essential oil can be toxic to dogs and cats. Don't apply it to pets.

​@@nonesuchfarm160 Well, I bought some pure peppermint oil (16 oz) and made my "brew". Treated myself, then found my dog, and after some tussling, got her sprayed down. It's working great! 😊 I can't thank you enough for posting this video, and the helpful tips in your reply.

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.

[@dananorth895]

Great recipe!, and ingredients nearly everyone has on hand! You might want to try planting peppermint around your yard/garden. I absolutely hate parasites and biting insects!

[@nonesuchfarm160]

I tried that last year and it never grew. I just planted it randomly around the lawn. I may try it again this year.

[@Jay-wz4sb]

It's invasive. It's best to sow it in planters, as people have problems with it spreading and taking over where they don't want it.

I have looked in to limes alot. Stevia plant is better than an antibiotic. Faster with better out come the sweetner will work as well. And as for as your dog and cat...catnip in their food it puts a chemical in there blood ticks hate. But as a whole sprays with peppermint, eucalyptus and even lavender teally work as a repellant. Dr Jones on KZbin is a all natural vet who really taught me so much. I pray this info helps anybody searching. May God bless you and keep you and your furry friends

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.

[@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.

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

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.
