Ingredients:

Cedar Oil: A natural essential oil known for its insecticidal and repellent properties against ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes.

Instructions:

Apply when ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes are active—typically from spring through fall when temperatures are above 40°F, or year-round in warmer climates.

Shake well before use. Attach the hose-end sprayer to your garden hose, turn on the water and move the selector to the "ON" position.
Spray your lawn’s edge, trees, shrubs, mulch beds, and garden areas, moving in a steady, sweeping motion to ensure even coverage. Apply until foliage and surfaces are just wet—avoid over-saturating.
Apply twice within 7 days to establish pest control. Reapply every 4 weeks or after heavy rainfall to maintain protection.

Helpful Tips from Yard Advisors:

How fast does this product control ticks?

Nix Ticks begins working immediately to kill ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes on contact. You'll notice a reduction in pest activity shortly after application.

How often should I apply Nix Ticks?

Apply as needed when pests are active outdoors. For best results, apply twice within the first 7 days, then reapply every 4 weeks to maintain continuous protection.

Is Nix Ticks safe for my family and pets?

Yes, Nix Ticks is safe for kids and pets when used as directed. Make sure treated areas are dry before allowing them to re-enter.

Note: Avoid spraying directly on beneficial insects such as bees or butterflies. To protect pollinators, do not apply when they are active.

Can I use Nix Ticks alongside other Sunday products?

Absolutely! Nix Ticks can be used in conjunction with other Sunday yard care products. Wait 24 hours between liquid applications to avoid washing away or diluting treatments.

Any state restrictions?

NiX Ticks

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.

Nixes the ticks.

I applied about half of the bottle of this product to my lawn (roughly 1,500 sq ft) in the spring, expecting to spray another application later in the summer. From what I can observe, my yard has remained tick-free since then. I'll likely spray again in the fall to be safe. My dog appreciates that it is a pet-friendly product!

The proof is in the

The proof is in the pudding as they say. Last year I had 7 ticks that attached to me. Had to be checked for lymes. This year I had 1 and that was before i used Nix Tciks. I have 3 small dogs. Last year they had too many to count. This year they had none. So it must be working great!

As someone with two small dogs, tick prevention is incredibly important to us. The ticks are particularly bad this year in the Midwest and so we knew that we needed to take extra steps to keeping our backyard safe for our pups. 10/10 would recommend.

Significant decrease in tick population!

Product worked great! Saw a significant decrease in the amount of ticks we saw on our dogs, and none on us. Our yard is often hard to control due to being backed up to a large wooded area, with pond, and fair amount of wildlife.

Nix Ticks Works Great!!!

Nix Ticks worked really well for my yard. The back half of my yard is wooded and every time I walked near there, I picked up at least two ticks. After using Nix Ticks I haven’t encountered one tick. Super easy to use and smells fantastic when applying.

Keeping Summer Bugs Away

I have fir trees on 2 sides of my backyard, which tend to attract the mosquitoes around Dusk. Switched to Sunday products this season because the kids want to be outside in the yard every day. Sprayed this product on the yard perimeter, then enjoyed the gentle aroma and lack of mosquitoes in the yard. Have not had any ticks either.

Q: Is Nix Ticks ok to use on edible shrub, hazelnut/filbert, or berry patches?

Store Owner

06/30/25

A: 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.

Dawn

Q: Inert ingredients. Granddaughter is allergic to sesame, I see it in some other products. Is it in this products inert ingredients?

Store Owner

06/04/25

Q: Is Nix-Ticks safe for use in a yard that has a well?

06/20/24

A: 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.

Q: Is this safe to use on other plant besides lawns? For example, I have everything from ferns to roses to coneflowers and more in my garden. But I’m getting eaten alive whenever I work in my garden! (no matter how much bug spray I use!)

06/05/24

A: Here are the best practices to protect your chosen zone from pests:
- Ticks: Spray shady areas where ticks can hide from direct sunlight, including woods, trees, and bushes. Focus on the area where the shade meets the lawn, spraying at least a 12-foot wide protective barrier.
- Mosquitoes: Spray shaded and damp areas where mosquitoes can breed, under decks, shrubs, bushes, and ground cover.
- Fleas: Spray low, dark corners and wood piles where fleas may leave larvae, and spray several feet along the border between your lawn and any brushy, wooded areas.

Q: How does this work with beneficial bugs ?

05/20/24

A: We recommend applying our pest control products when most pollinators are least active (early morning/sunset are best).

David

05/17/24

Q: What are the mixing directions for an area without a house connected to water and using a manual sprayer?

05/21/24

A: 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.
