Natural Tick Spray

Thanks to the mild winter we had, ticks are BAD this year! Here's a quick, easy, and all natural tick spray that's safe for you and your dogs. 
  • 4 oz witch hazel
  • 1 oz carrier oil 
  • 10 drops  geranium 
  • 10 drops lemongrass
  • 10 drops peppermint
  • 5 drops lemon eucalyptus 
  • 5 drops eucalyptus 
  • 3 drops lavender

​Combine all into a spray bottle and shake well before each use. 
I purchase my essential oils direct from Plant Therapy. They are quality oils at an affordable price and free shipping in the US. They are also available on Amazon Prime (yes!!!) If you are new to essential oils, please check out my post on Getting Started with [non-MLM] Essential Oils. 

Last week I pulled waaaaay to many teeny tiny ticks off my dog. We had also found a few here and there on myself and my daughter. It's just part of living on our new farm, I suppose, but since we've been using this spray I haven't found another tick. I spray the dog's feet once in the morning and again in the afternoon. I've also been using it on myself, my husband, and our daughter's shoes before we go outside. It works really well!

UPDATE: Now the we live on a farm we are outside constantly and I got tired of remembering to spray ourselves each time we went out. I found an alternative that's been great - RAW AMBER! I bought a bracelet for me, a collar for my dog, and an anklet for my daughter. We still see ticks (that's just the nature of living on a farm) but none of them have bitten us. It's been amazing and super easy.
