Bug B Gone

[Uncle Matt]

I need to put something on my lawn to kill the ticks. Has anyone tried or had any success with Ortho's Bug B Gone?

Any suggestions before I basically get so fed up and dump a buttload of chemicals on my lawn and ruin it for the year?

ticks do not hunt on groomed lawns; they climb plants a foot or two high and wait for a mammal to come along they can attach themselves to. The rare tick on a lawn could have just fallen off a pet, wild animal, People pick up the vast majority of ticks walking through woods, weeds or brush; well-kept lawns are pretty safe usually

that being said...

ZODIAC has a product for lawns that kill ticks
this is it Uncle MATT

AYC has insecticidal properties. I wonder if the dust and turnings from our plug building would be a safe and effective bug be gone.

on the cedar dust... effect to deter ticks...

only because the effects of cedar on bugs as far as i know
works (only) aromatically and i doubt it would retain much cedar
smell after applied (but i could be wrong)
