Answers:

I have 10 horses who sleep out at night and had a major problem with ticks. I started putting garlic in their feed. It took a while to start working but I definitely saw a decrease in ticks. Also it's great for their general health and gives their coats a lovely shine.

Good Luck

www.happyhorseflyspray.com I've been using it for years. I gave up a long time ago on the home remidies...

Try a lavender spray you can make it yourself. Just get some Lavender oil mix it with distilled water and put it in a spray bottle. Worked on my horse. Ticks hate lavender. You can read about lavender at http://www.take1products.com Good luck;^)

If i were you i would get some Guinea hens or chickens. They are very natural ways of getting rid of ticks. They find them and eat them and with chicken you can get eggs too. They also eat alot of fly larvae and stuff like that too. I find them very efficient.

I have chickens and Guinea hens and never ever find ticks on my horses.

I use fly sprays too.
