goats and ticks

[Mini-M Ranch]

If you have bee hives or any of your neighbors do, or if you have a garden that you want pollinated, please be careful with Sevin. It will kill honeybees super fast.

We haven't seen any ticks on our goats, but we use ivermec injectable and I think that helps.

Using Sevin inside my barn and nest boxes hasn't effected our many large flowerbeds or garden.

I think it's all about how you use it, and when. When I said spring and fall, I meant early spring, before bees are out, and late fall, after they've gone dormant.

What do those of us who DON'T want to use pesticides on our animals do? And are these pesticides even safe on meat animals?

Anyone?

We've found a bunch on our dog, she's a beagle & has short hair, so they're easy to get off. I haven't seen any on the goats, but I have seen them itching quite a bit lately. ??

Olive oil kills ticks.Use a syringe and douse the area around the tick and the tick can not breath. Oregano oil works great if you can find 100% use a cue tip as it is very strong.
