I just found this link for a friend who is having a really bad tick problem. Hopefully there is some helpful info in there for you.

1. DIAMACIOUS EARTH

2.tempo spray--smells like water.

3. citrus orange smelly stuff

4. two bricks clapped together with the tick between

A search for past posts may yield more info.

Course you can always spray with deet and permethin,sprays but are a bit more harsh but work well!!!

The Orange Guard (TKO Orange concentrate form) stuff - mix a little bit with a lot of water. It's biodegradable though, and would have to be applied often.

www.homs.com might have some natural stuff.

I know they're working on using Alaskan cedar nootkatone in high-pressure spray. Question whether we could use cedar spray as a deterrent?
