Happy Tick Hunting. Laurie You should warn the golfers! |
| last year I bought this stuff to repel mosquitoes around my house....it works wonders...it says it also repels ticks, so if you have a problem around your house with ticks....
http://www.ucorganicproducts.com/insectcontrol.html#mos its garlic....ok so your lawn smells like a huge salad for 2 hours after application But it repelled the mosquitoes for about 3 weeks before we had to do another application. I think we are going to use it this weekend if it doesn't rain. The mosquitoes are bad here already. |

However, I'm concerned about the dogs ingesting garlic juice from the grass....isn't garlic toxic for dogs?  |

Okay, so this is probably a dumb question but here goes... How can you have mosquitoes but not heartworms? That just doesn't seem fair! Who can I complain to about this?  |
| Different population of mosquitoes....possibly a different species...? I'm not totally sure....but I sure am GLAD!!!
No snakes or (indigenous) poisonous spiders, either!  |
| Alaska is sounding pretty
darn fabulous to me |

I looked it up...this is what I found.... http://www.entirelypets.com/toxicfoods.html "Onions and garlic contain the toxic ingredient thiosulphate. Onions are more of a danger....... While garlic also contains the toxic ingredient thiosulphate, it seems that garlic is less toxic and large amounts would need to be eaten to cause illness." I don't let the dogs on the grass for a day or 2 after we spray, for us that is easy to do since we have a dog run. But my dogs are not usually grass eaters. We used it last year and no ill effects on the dogs  |
