As warmer weather arrives, ticks become active. Knowing the serious diseases they transmit—like Lyme disease—makes prevention essential for you and your pets.
Thankfully, this simple homemade spray features a highly effective natural tick repellent, recommended by my homeopathic physician.
I've relied on it for over three years, protecting my family and dogs even in tick-heavy areas. Living on a large wooded property with tall grass, we faced constant exposure—yet no bites since switching.
Before this, I'd remove 3-4 ticks daily from my dog alone. This easy, grandmother-approved remedy changed everything—now I share it widely.
Here's the recipe for a homemade tick repellent that delivers real results. See below:
- 1 tablespoon vodka
- 40 drops rose geranium essential oil
- 200 ml distilled water
- Empty spray bottle
1. Pour the vodka into the spray bottle.
2. Add the rose geranium essential oil.
3. Top with distilled water.
4. Shake well to mix.
Shake before each use and spray on clothing. Apply before outings in nature and reapply as the scent fades for full protection.
Safe for direct skin application in adults, but avoid on young children, pregnant, or breastfeeding individuals.
Ideal for tick-prone pets like dogs or horses—do not use on cats. Witch hazel can substitute for vodka.
Zero tick bites for us and our pets! Quick, effective, and chemical-free—perfect for hiking, camping, or kids playing outdoors.
Store away from light for up to 6 months. Always check skin (legs, thighs, arms) and have someone inspect your back after walks.
Essential oils are potent natural agents. Consult a specialist before use and review safety guidelines to ensure safe application.
