Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have a house in one of the deer tick capitals in southeaster Massachusetts and a dog. The county government supports an ongoing survey of tick population in the area. A survey of our property was done the beginning of June and found about 30 nymph deer ticks plus a variety of dog ticks in the area just bordering the lawn. I sprayed about a third of the area with Vet's Best several days after the survey was done. Today the researcher made a special trip back to our yard because he was also curious about how well this worked. In the 2 weeks since I sprayed there has been several days of heavy rain. The results of today's survey showed that in the area that I sprayed there were no ticks found. In the area that I didn't spray he found the same number as the the first survey. He was impressed and I was very happy. Pretty clear scientific evidence of this product's effectiveness. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in a larger size. It is very easy to use - just attach a hose a start spraying. The recommendation from the researcher is to not bother treating lawn areas where you regularly mow. Ticks prefer moist areas - under trees and bushes where there area fallen leaves and tall grass or weeds.
