So my sister is FREAKING out!

One friend of hers has a child that can't walk because of Lyme. It happened within a week of a tick bite about a month ago.

Now another friend of hers has a child being admitted to the hospital for possible Lyme as I write this.

They all live in Winchester Virginia as we all know is an endemic area.

SOOO, she wants to know the best stuff to put in the yard for the darn ticks. Safe for kids and pets.

Also, her daughter got bite by a tick a few weeks ago but I BEGGED her to send the tick to Igenex to be tested. She did and it came back negative. Few.

Thanks in advance!

Hi - good report on using TKO Orange recently - sprayed in the yard, and no more ticks. It kills all bugs, actually.

Nontoxic, essential oil for us. www.TKOOrange.com or sold as Orange Guard in stores. The Orange Guard is already diluted.

If you get the TKO Orange, put a couple drops in a spray bottle and fill up with water. Can be used on clothing, home, yard, lightly misted or rubbed on dog and cat fur.

Ok to use as long as no one is allergic to oranges.
