Essential-oil-based yard spray

Cedarwood, rosemary, and similar essential-oil yard sprays show modest, short-lived tick suppression and far lower efficacy than registered acaricides.

Steps

schema.org/HowTo
  1. 01
    Choose an EPA-exempt product if you want a 'natural' option, but expect modest results.
  2. 02
    Apply more frequently than synthetic products - every few weeks.
  3. 03
    Focus on lawn-to-woods edge, not the entire lawn.
  4. 04
    Treat as an adjunct to yard hygiene, not a replacement for acaricide where pressure is high.
