Thanks Brother. I have 20 acres and like you I don’t want to poison my family. We’ve had more ticks this year than last year and I noticed that there are more deer in our yard and more rabbits and mice and squirrels than last year as well. I will definitely try this method. Thanks for sharing.
this was a very mild winter and i have been pulling ticks off my pets since FEBRUARY!!! i thank you and thank you...with all the virus scare the last thing i need are an abundance of bloodsuckers crawling around
I will try this - the past 2 years I've been spraying my whole yard with CEDAR OIL - seems to be working - noticing far less ticks on me - but cedar oil needs repeated applications -
Hi metech! Let us know how it works out for you. In my experience it takes time, if you’re looking for a quick fix, go to Home Depot and buy a lot of chemicals and dump them in your yard. This approach effectively disrupts the cycle of life of the ticks and it takes time. Good luck! Again let us know how it works out! Thanks for watching!
Have you tried diatomaceous earth? It's a very fine powder that you can dust where ticks are present but also where animals pass so it sticks to their fur. It's non toxic to humans (wear a mask when applying) but avoid dusting near flowers or bees.
Just get yourself some chickens. they say guinea fowl are good but they cause more problems than they solve. plain old chickens , they love ticks ants beetles. I lived on a farm in wisconsin back in 1975 and we got a dozen chickens and let em free range. You know we never saw so much as one ant, tick or beetle on the property!
Hi Steve. I have read about chickens and guinea fowl (with bad attitudes) as great solutions to tick problems. I have not gotten any of them but, I do use the method I show in my video and have minimal ticks on my property. It works, it just takes time to work. Thanks for watching!
I haven’t even seen what u have done yet but I’m going to try it. This year for the last month we are seeing a tick a day on someone in the family. We treat the yard, we treat the pets (vet prescribed few and tick meds). We check after being outside for extended periods of time. I’m still seeing them. I usually can go a full summer and see maybe 3. A tick a day is horrifying lol. Ahh! I’ve never seen this used in this way. I just read about treating clothing with it....I’m gonna try that too. I need a tick dome lol.
Interesting idea but there are much better, more permanent approaches to this problem. One is to create a very dry area around your living spaces. Chemicals aside (unless perhaps you are hosting an outdoor party in the near future- in which case, it might make sense), the environment should always be very inhospitable to ticks e.g., low humidity, no leaves, no long grass, etc. Also, using Deer/Raccoon fencing, dry rocks/gravel, wood chips and an inner dirt boarder would also help significantly- think of the classic desert landscaping motifs. Also trimming excessive branches and cleaning up all areas where ticks could hide helps a lot. The tubes, aside hurting other small animals could be particularly harmful to your neighbors CAT(s) or other animals who are neurologically highly sensitive to permethrin. This is especially relevant when the chemical is still wet. Also, you mentioned that you have well water- make sure there is no run off that allows that chemical to find it's way into the ground water. Wearing a mask and eye protection when spraying that chemical is also advisable. The bottom line is ticks will "never" ever go away. You would have to consistently and regularly spray gallons of chemicals or drop dozens of those tubes on a monthly basis to gain any potentially significant benefits. A few tubes with a few sprays of permethrin, after being exposed to the elements will find it's half-life relatively quickly- thought it's HL in the water column is fairly long- about 40 days. If anything, a few diluted sprays over time would just make living creatures who encounter it sick and possibly resistant to it. Brown ticks (aks Rhipicephalus sanguineus) are resistant to permethrin already.
@@TheComebackKid Your welcome and good luck solving your tick issues. Please be extremely careful about inadvertently breathing in any permethrin. When you are spraying it, you will certainly increase your exposure dramatically via breathing it in and by absorbing it via your eyes. It will also blow back (via wind) onto your clothes where it lasts a long time on fabric. As is the warning, always wash exposed/treated cloths separate from your other clothes, especially items like pillow cases and under garments. You will also step on the mist and track that into your home where it will linger in carpet for a long time. Permethrin has been linked with cancer- more specially multiple myeloma so again, just be vigilant. You can read up on via the AHS studies and in PubMed. As is true in general health prevention is better than treatment. In this case, some simple physical environmental barriers would likely serve you well.
We re up North - hot summers and cold winter. NEVER seen a tick on any of my dogs since I was a kid! This week, my little guy had 2. I always dreaded it: but, what has to be done has to be done. Deer ticks. Disgusting. Now we are watching for symptoms, but so far, so good. We do have an overabundance of deer in our area of mostly suburban middle class homes. Frontline Plus (which I hated to give him pesticides) did not stop him from getting them this season of Winter 2019. He's mostly in the house except when he gets a walk down our asphalt street to the children's park that has a mowed lawn. I went back to buying Cedarcide: the cedar oil is strong, but it works. I'll try the lemongrass variety next time. It is ok with me, but my family hates the smell. Couch potatoes!!!!! :)
You can save more money by buying concentrate (10%-37%ish) and dilute it yourself. Have to be careful about run off and cats but it's effective. Despite the comment below, Ive seen that it is non-toxic to birds.
Nc too me 11 ticks on me past 5 days ! 1st became immediately in a large hot to touch oozing painful AND OMGGG SOOO ITCHY I MEAN to no END .... infected... GOT TO THE DOCTOR 3rd day...Dr was obviously taking a back immediately want to run tests, tick-borne infections and disease!!! 😱😭😨 Exactly the same time last year I moved here into the country and got my first (& only ever) tick bite! -
Moved to the country and wow we have ticks all over the place. Being from the city we never had to deal with this. Plus here in Tennessee we did not have much of a winter so all the bugs are bad. It’s a learning curve for a city girl. But I’m ready to get educated. Ill definitely try this. Getting on amazon right now to place my order. Thanks so much!
I didn’t realize squirrels were a major carrier. Our apartment complex is literally filled with them this year. The outdoor cats people let out are apparently broken, not doing their job 🤣 the squirrels are so used to people you can hand feed them. If there was a way to treat them, I def would. What about treating the grass around the feeders so when they run through it gets them? If there is a way to treat them... hell, if there was a way to get rid of a few squirrels to, that would be fab. I can hear one of the little jerks chewing in my attic space 🙄🤣
Interesting idea. I find it humorous that you're saying this is a good solution for folks not into the insecticide/pesticide thing... except that permethrin _is_ an insecticide. But I think I get what you're trying to say, that it may be better than actually spraying an insecticide or pesticide on your property.
Hi Joey! Remember, this tactic takes time, its not instantaneous. I can tell you that the number of ticks I have picked off myself or my dog has decreased to almost zero at this point. I regularly put my tick tubes out and its making a different. Thanks for watching Joey!
Like you, I don't want to get chemicals in my well water. And forgive me, but even if animals use this for nesting, it's still going to get washed down & in with rain water and animal urine, isn't it? I don't see what the difference is.
Linda, I'd suggest reading the manufacturers recommendations/warnings. thank you for watching. I will tell you, permethrin works great regarding killing ticks.
@@TheComebackKid Thank u very much I just got about 60 or more off of me this year and also a friend of my sons said since I have so many trees around me that the ticks were coming out of the trees and his friend said for us to take the back and put out some charcoal and get it to burning and the smoke would help get rid of them and I have alot of dogs I just love them I just know I can't take another summer like I did this year and I do appreciate your fast response Sure hope you and yours family have a Happy Happy New Year's and Thanks again
@@lindacoker7758 Hi Linda. The DIY tick tubes in my video will help you with that tick problem. Thank you for watching. Also wishing you and your family a happy new year as well.
That's my worry. Sounds like an amazing idea using nature to treat the problem, especially on my large patch of forest, 16+ acres, (hope to treat the first 4-6 acres) but I've read Permethrin stays effective 6 months, maybe even years, and if my cat runs into the stuff? Dead?
Wondering how this will affect the snakes in the area. How will eating several mice exposed to permethrin affect a snake? I would assume the actual residue of the chemical that bonds to the rodents is minimal, but that's just a guess. Not that I love snakes, but I do appreciate the extent to which they control the mouse population. In theory, they help control the tick population too, somewhat.
Tuck, I’d suggest researching the topic if you’re concerned, I don’t know the answer to your question. My only response is that my family potentially contracting Lyme disease or the other dozens deadly tick borne diseases trumps snakes well being every day of the week. Thanks for watching.
did anyone ever answer you? I ask because well number one I have a snake issue and a ticket issue and a mouse issue and I can't wait to buy this permethrin and do exactly what he did because I've tried essential oils and everything else including guns I'm serious I've got the ticket born infection and disease been confirmed 48 hours after I went to the doctor which was 24 hours after my second tick bite in my life it's been 6 days ago now and I have had 11 bites total now I live in the country and announce semi-retired mostly at home with three large dogs I walked up to nine times a day three times each individually there's no way I can avoid the woods I live in the woodsgot the landlord mowing the grass and weeding down to the ground but I'm 20 p wave by 2 and 1/2 acre pond to boot!

(I HAVE A SITUATION WHICH GOT ME STRANDED RIGHT HERE I CANNOT MOVE SHORT OF THAT I'LL TAKE ADVICE THANK YOU SO MUCH HAVE A GREAT DAY) *GODSPEED
THANK YOU For your advice on long term relief...I am sick right now from several tick bites (30 days nausia... and no energy [sleepy]- hot then cold). In my crazyed state of mind...And because I cannot even get onto my property...due to it being much like a war zone (kill the human!) Where I'm immediately swarmed and attacked when I only took 6 steps onto the property...I can either be homeless... Or take a stand. And the bugs are not going to win. Lol I HAVE to spray initially...Nobody has been on this property for over a hundred yrs.. I know right? Unbelievable you say? 1908. Thats Definately over a hundred yrs. I Love your Idea...And I'm going to get that going at the same time...and Because I actually like Mice and Squirrels and birds (I can be helping them out too)...Mosquito is the ND state bird...but I kill Mosquitos without remorse. So ...ticks get on birds? Did not know that...I hope they take some bedding too. Take ❤ care.
Hi Elizabeth! First off thanks for watching. You can essentially do whenever you’d like however I have found Spring and early summer to be best because that’s when a lot of the little furry animals reproduce that you’re hoping take the permethrin back to their homes and make nests.
Hey there! About how long did you find it took to see a decline in the tick population in your yard after placing the tubes? Definitely trying this method because the ticks are just outrageous where we live. Thanks again!
Hi Elizabeth, weeks to potentially months. I say this because this method is basically disrupting the life cycle of ticks. Rodents take the tick tube material back to their nests, rodents carry nymph ticks, the nymph ticks die and the cycle of life is disrupted. It takes time but is effective. Thanks!
Outside the box thinking. However, if you have outside cats the hunt mice, chipmunks, squirrels etc, I would avoid this. Permethrin is highly toxic to cats.
@@steves3760 ???? That's called the food chain, it's part of life. I suppose you think Eagles and Owl's are bad too because they eat birds and chipmunks?

Thanks for watching luva
I used food grade diatomaceous earth to kill fleas and ticks in my dog pen. Worked great. Make sure you apply it during dry days. Check it out.
Hi Winn, just purchase it at your local hardware store and spread it around your property.
make sure your dog doesnt breathe it in. The diatoms will permanently damage lungs. DE washes away with the rain so its very temporary.
I will try this - the past 2 years I've been spraying my whole yard with CEDAR OIL - seems to be working - noticing far less ticks on me - but cedar oil needs repeated applications -

Treat a set of outdoor clothes, shoes etc with permethrin also so you and your family will be protected when mowing, doing yard stuff etc.

Where I'm immediately swarmed and attacked when I only took 6 steps onto the property...I can either be homeless... Or take a stand. And the bugs are not going to win. Lol I HAVE to spray initially...Nobody has been on this property for over a hundred yrs.. I know right? Unbelievable you say? 1908. Thats Definately over a hundred yrs. I Love your Idea...And I'm going to get that going at the same time...and Because I actually like Mice and Squirrels and birds (I can be helping them out too)...Mosquito is the ND state bird...but I kill Mosquitos without remorse. So ...ticks get on birds? Did not know that...I hope they take some bedding too. Take ❤ care.
Hi Sandy! Thanks for watching!
Did that ever work out for you or are you homeless!?
Thank you for the tip! How often during tick season do you need to repeat the process?
Hi Elizabeth! First off thanks for watching. You can essentially do whenever you’d like however I have found Spring and early summer to be best because that’s when a lot of the little furry animals reproduce that you’re hoping take the permethrin back to their homes and make nests.
Hey there! About how long did you find it took to see a decline in the tick population in your yard after placing the tubes? Definitely trying this method because the ticks are just outrageous where we live. Thanks again!
Hi Elizabeth, weeks to potentially months. I say this because this method is basically disrupting the life cycle of ticks. Rodents take the tick tube material back to their nests, rodents carry nymph ticks, the nymph ticks die and the cycle of life is disrupted. It takes time but is effective. Thanks!
I get triple that much lint in one load. permethrin is not safe for dogs and cats.
Hi Cherokee I did my best, that’s all I had in my bellybutton 😉
HAHAHAHAHA - Your innie must be real deep! I get so much in my belly button too. ESPECIALLY during the winter!
Get guinea fowl; they eat every single tick in existence
I heard they have a bad attitude as well. Any insight?
Are you sure guinea fowl will clean the ticks ?
Yes urooj it is true guinea fowl eat ticks like crazy. It’s a good option if you can get them
We have friends that have guineas running free on their property. They are not nice.
That’s what I’ve heard!
Outside the box thinking. However, if you have outside cats the hunt mice, chipmunks, squirrels etc, I would avoid this. Permethrin is highly toxic to cats.
Cats shouldn't be running around outside anyway. They kill birds and squirrels.
@@steves3760 ???? That's called the food chain, it's part of life. I suppose you think Eagles and Owl's are bad too because they eat birds and chipmunks?
@@DropTheBunny Owls and eagles are native to North America, domestic cats and dogs aren't. Were you born stupid or was it acquired?
Cats should be outside, they are a natural outside creature that has been domesticated.
Just get yourself some chickens. they say guinea fowl are good but they
cause more problems than they solve. plain old chickens , they love
ticks ants beetles. I lived on a farm in wisconsin back in 1975 and we
got a dozen chickens and let em free range. You know we never saw so
much as one ant, tick or beetle on the property!
