What customers say
Customers consistently praise Tickshield for its exceptional reliability, noting its powerful effectiveness against ticks and other biting insects. A major draw is the product quality, specifically the natural formulation that avoids harsh chemicals.

Know before you buy
Yes, this formula is safe for use on pets weighing over 20 lbs. Always check your pet's weight before application and avoid spraying directly into their eyes or mouth.
Absolutely. Tickshield is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it effective for treating furniture, carpets, and other living spaces where pests may hide.
The Cedarwood version uses 20% Cedarwood oil as its active ingredient, while the Lemongrass blend combines 5% Lemongrass oil with 7% Cedarwood oil. Both provide the same level of pest defense, so the choice comes down to your personal scent preference.
Because it is an oil-based formula, it is best to test a small, inconspicuous area of fabric or gear first. While it is designed to be versatile, some delicate materials may require caution during application.
Reapplication frequency depends on your environment and the level of pest activity. For active outdoor use, reapply as needed, especially after swimming or heavy perspiration, to maintain a consistent barrier.
