Did not work
We followed the directions, sprayed twice, a week apart and had the ticks back on us within another week after it rained. It offered some protection immediately but didn't last past the first rain. Will not buy again.

Hi Kathryn, we're sorry to hear that this was your experience with Nix Ticks! For severe infestations we recommend frequent applications to stay ahead of your pest issues.
Was this review helpful?This works very well. I
This works very well. I have used it multiple years and have had zero issues with ticks. It also seems to keep other buds at bay too. Great product
Was this review helpful?No more ticks
In June Rocky was covered in ticks. After one application of nix ticks we haven't seen any ticks on Rocky. We are sold!
Was this review helpful?It works!
This has been a great product and worked well against these nasty bugs (and most other bugs too) here in North Carolina during the summer heat. My only complaint would be that not enough of this stuff comes in each bottle. I had to order extra bottles to make sure the coverage was thorough enough to shut these pests down good. I have a large yard and it seems like these product were made for smaller yards (1000-2000 square feet). Being able to spray the trees around my lawn was the real trick, as well as spraying my lawn. Ticks hide out in the trees and fall on there hosts. Ugh, just nasty. 😎

Sprayed this around the yard and never saw any ticks on us or our puppy. Was most concerned about my puppy, and did what we wanted.

I have used 2 applications this summer. I just ordered a 3rd learning that a monthly application is recommended. We have 2 dogs and have had no issues with fleas or ticks this summer. Last week my wife had to go into my neighbors yard due to a fallen tree and said she got eaten up. That has not happened in our yard this summer.
Was this review helpful?Great Product
Nix Ticks kept mosquitoes away all summer long. Applied every month throughout the summer. Great results.
Was this review helpful?Relief from Ticks
We live in an area where ticks are a HUGE issue and we started using Nix Ticks this summer in our backyard and saw quite an improvement immediately. Now we can at least enjoy spending time outdoors!
Was this review helpful?Worked amazing, needs re-application every 2+ weeks.
Would highly recommend, worked like a charm. Take advantage of the 2 pack when it's on sale. After reading the label, you should actually apply every few weeks and heat conditions seem to have the product fade in intensity a bit. Began to target the key areas every other week to keep the bugs down.
Was this review helpful?I’ve been using Nix Ticks
I’ve been using Nix Ticks for the 2nd year now. I haven’t seen ticks on my lawn. This is a great product where my dog and kids can use the backyard right away and have no issues!

Questions & answers
8 questions
Question: Is there a temperature where it is too hot to spray Nix Ticks, either because it will fry the grass or because it won't be as effective?
Sunday
Nix Ticks is best applied when temperatures are below about 85°F and ideally during the early morning or evening when it's cooler. Applying during extreme heat can cause the product to dry too quickly, reducing effectiveness, and it may put additional stress on your lawn, so waiting for cooler conditions is your best bet
Question: What are the mixing directions for an area without a house connected to water and using a manual sprayer?
Louisa D.
We cannot recommend applying our products via any method other than our provided hose-end applicators. However, we can share that the recommended ratio for application is 50:1.
Question: Is Nix Ticks ok to use on edible shrub, hazelnut/filbert, or berry patches?
Jeff McConathy
We don't recommend applying to plants that you intend to eat; while made from ingredients that are better for the planet, Nix Ticks is not designed to be ingested.
Question: Inert ingredients. Granddaughter is allergic to sesame, I see it in some other products. Is it in this products inert ingredients?
Jeff McConathy
Great question! Nix Ticks does not contain any sesame at all.
Question: Is Nix-Ticks safe for use in a yard that has a well?
Louisa D.
Nix Ticks can be applied to yards with wells safely when applied as directed (or according to the label). Avoid spraying near surface water or around the opening of the well, as the product isn't designed for aquatic use.
