Our 3yo and my misses both had ticks early this season. Deer frequently visiting our property which is lovely but the ticks on them is not as lovely. After starting garlic spray treatments we no longer see them

I used garlic spray for mosquitos to surprising effect. I had no idea it worked for ticks too. That’s great to know.
