Default Ticks HATE Vinegar

In my HUMBLE opinion........

Inspect Pet for ticks...Take a cloth DAMPENED with White Vinegar.
..(.BEFORE you enter the Home.)......
Touch the TICK ....They RELEASE immediately.
...Works on Humans, also.

By The Way, (BTW)......
If you put a bit of white vinegar IN the Pet's WATER.
.....( start with 3 drops and increase gradually)
no bugs, ants or foamy scum will enter the water...
.......AND the TICKS won't bite them and "attach".

....If the Ticks DON'T "attach"......problem solved....
( pet do not like the water at first....but...after a few weeks
they don't like water without the WHITE Vinegar.

SECONDARY benefit of Vinegar, joint pain goes away.
........YUP....works for humans, also.

Humans and Pets can be rubbed with a Vinegar cloth and
walk in the brambles and weeds and shady woods,
without being "kissed" by skeeters, ticks and hornets or bees........
( just don't carry sweets or gum to keep bees and hornets away).
......ALL above gleaned from PERSONAL experience..Take it or Leave it...
