Ortho tick B Gon
I recently got to try out Ortho tick B Gon thanks to influenster. This Ortho tick B Gon works great on getting rid of those ticks . We just hook our water holes up to it and spray our yard around our porch and the ticks are gone. It doesn't leave a residue but it is persistent on getting rid of the ticks. It worked great for me!

Easy to apply, dries without leaving a noticeable residue, and helped make my yard feel more enjoyable in the summer months.
I’ve been really impressed with how easy the Ortho Tick B - gon Tick Killer Ready - to - Spray is to use. It attaches directly to a standard garden hose, so there’s no measuring or mixing involved. I pray my lawn, around the bushes, and along the edges of my yard in just a few minutes. After treating the yard as directed on the label, I noticed far fewer ticks in the areas where my family spend time outdoors. It’s a convenient option for helping manage ticks and other listed insects without a complicated application process. What I love is it doesn’t leave a noticeable or visible residue on my lawn.

A staple for summer
If you have pets or like to hangout in your yard this is a must. We’ve seen an increase in ticks this summer and wanted to protect our family and this worked perfectly! We sprayed it around the yard and so far we have had no issues. It was so easy to apply and was small enough to throw in our shed for next time.
