Thank goodness we've never had ticks in our yard ever. But I know they're all over other places. When I was pregnant, I had to pull over constantly to vomit in odd places. I ended up with a tick on me a couple times just from puking in bushes or tall grass. After that, I only threw up by the big dumsters on asphalt! We're talking emergency! (I also vomitted in just about every public restroom in the whole city).- Flag

tick repellant
For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).
To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.
For you and your family:
In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil.
Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks.
After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.- Flag

I just glanced at my backyard. It is not a yard, it is quickly becoming a jungle! Rainy stormy night. Thunderstorms again today. Tomorrow is suppose to be clear but I probably need a couple of dry days before I can mow! Once it stops raining we will have flooding...- Flag
