Ticks hate the smell of lemon, orange, cinnamon, lavender, peppermint, and rose geranium,cedarwood thyme,so they'll avoid latching on to anything that smells of those items. Any of these or a combination can be used in DIY sprays or added to almond oil and rubbed on exposed.
1 oz Any carrier oil such almond or grape seed
7 drops Geranium.
4 drops Peppermint.
4 drops Thyme.
4 drops Cedarwood or Lavender.
Eucalyptus Oil. Not only is eucalyptus oil a tick killer, but it also makes for an effective repellent as well, and it's naturally safe and effective on the body. Mix with carrier oil. NOTE: Eucalyptus is toxic for dogs and cats.
Use caution when using any essential oil around pets.
For Pets- A homemade spray solution of one part vinegar and one part water helps keep ticks and fleas away from your pets. Pour the solution in a spray bottle and spray directly onto your pets, but be careful not to get it in their eyes.

When i moved to the forrest the cats took in ticks and i mean alot
I have a special tweezer for the mfs from a lab or manifested from hell and i burn them.
When they dust, i crush them
My cats and i after 15 years here,cleaned out the area-ishπ€πͺπ
I know its every other three years they expand...like a plandemic ππ
Yes, me too besides my doggie I had 3 cats too and only one was outside, BUT the other two would have them from my doggie and the outside kitty coming in before could get to them... I really complained about the below zero in winter, but I gotta tell ya, that was the only time I didn't;t have to worry about the ticks..but we also had rats in the basement so summer was ticks and winter was picking up dead rats (3 cats work better than any pest control...
