Did you know certain essential oils may help keep ticks away?
This is a trend thatβs been all over social media lately, and with tick season in full swing, many people are looking into natural ways to help deter them.
Ticks often wait on tall grass, brush, and other vegetation until a person or animal brushes past. Essential oils like cedarwood, eucalyptus, peppermint, and lemongrass contain natural compounds that create scents ticks tend to avoid, which is why theyβre commonly used in natural tick prevention products.
β οΈ Disclaimer: These products are NOT intended to instantly kill ticks. They are meant to be a natural deterrent. Be sure to do your own research before use. Also, do not apply essential oils directly to a tick that is already attached. If you find an attached tick, use proper tick removal methods and follow current health recommendations.
