My daughter is nearly 7 months old and I am looking forward to taking her outside with me when I am gardening now that the weather is turning a bit warmer. I live in an area that has a lot of ticks and lyme disease is rampant. Do you know of an insect repellent that is safe on babies but works with ticks?

I need a recipe for a tick repellent spray for dogs. I prefer natural products. I’ve been using Advantix on my dogs, and they still have ticks. We have the yard sprayed every month and still have ticks. I spend so much time going through their fur and checking their ears and toes, and they still have ticks. I shampoo them with a good flea and tick shampoo. These horrible parasites are so hard to get rid of and we have a long tick season here in Florida. Please, please something that works… Thanks in advance.

Bug Repel is one company that offers product, but are there others and does it work? Some say it does work on mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, etc…, but that it attracts ants and bees!?!

Our dog is on Sentinel which is a monthly oral flea “repellent” and heartworm preventative. What can safely be used as a topical tick repellent that won’t interfere with her oral medication? She loves to go to the park and we love to take her but the ticks are just horrendous there.

We use Sentinel for heartworm and fleas, but this summer ticks have been a problem. She runs in a wooded area almost everyday. I really don’t want to give her any more ‘medication’ if I don’t have to. Would rather try a natural solution first. Any ideas?
