Ticks have 8 legs, but they're not spiders, they are specie of mites. It has been estimated there are about 500,000 varieties of mites in the world. They exist just about anywhere - even at the South Pole or at the bottom of the ocean. Ticks are about the biggest of the mite specie.

They feed on dander (dead skin), plants, plant juices and dead animals. The female doesn't need a male to reproduce in most species - she lays thousands of eggs in moss, grass, on plants in wood piles and on rotted tree debris.

Both male and female ticks will attack mammals, frogs, snakes, deer, dogs, raccoons, people. They will jump on you if you sit near them or if walk by a tall plants or high grass. They go for soft spots, such as around the tummy, scalp and legs. They administer a small dose of natural anesthetic so you don't feel them biting. As they bite, they suck blood from your body. Their size can increase up to 5 fold. When they're full of blood they will drop off. In the case of the female tick, she uses your blood to feed and nourish her eggs.

You can spray poisons in your yard but more ticks will find their way into your yard. You can spray poison again but more ticks will find their way into your yard. This cycle keeps repeating itself.

Ticks do not like garlic - that's why you won't find any in a garlic field. They cannot tolerate garlic. The natural sulfurs in the garlic disturb them and they stay away from garlic plants.

Our product, Mosquito Barrier could have been named Tick Barrier because it can effectively rid your yard of ticks. Mosquito Barrier makes an ideal spray to rid your yard of ticks. The garlic will get into the tick's system and will kill them (as it does in the case of young ticks) or it will make life so miserable for them that they leave the area altogether. Just to make sure you get them all, we recommend you spray your yard again a week after the first application. Thereafter, you can spray every 3 weeks during tick season.

None of this does any good if you don't keep your grass short and keep tall weeds out of your yard. If you have pets you must have a fence or your pets will go outside the sprayed area and bring ticks in when they return. Those new ticks will then lay eggs and in a short while you will be infested again.

TIPS ON SPRAYING FOR TICKS:

You need to spray grass and shrubs, under any porches and on any wood pile. In fact, it's best to take your present wood pile apart and re-stack it in an areas that has been sprayed. Be sure to clean the old area where the wood pile was previously stacked.

A typical formula for a 2 gallon canister sprayer is to mix
6 ounces of Mosquito Barrier into 2 gallons of water.
