Thermacell Tick Control Tubes for Yards; Protects; No Spray, No Granules, No Mess; Biodegradable; Environmentally Friendly Alternative to Spray & Repellent

Work great, about two weeks and I noticed a significant drop in the amount of ticks. Going to buy a box a year

Chucked a bunch in surrounding woods. Ticks suck, literally, so it can’t hurt to try. The camouflage makes them disappear and the cardboard will probably break down in a few years so it’s a one-and-done. Maybe the field mice will appreciate it at least.

I was skeptical, a little pricey, we live in Maine and the ticks are abundant. We have a dog and he would have several ticks on hime every time we brought him out. I put 24 of these around the perimeter of a 1/2 acre lot. We have lots of trees and stone walls. I checked the tubes about a week later and most of them were empty. After a couple of weeks, have not seen a single tick.

Our yard was overrun with ticks. As in, my kids were forbidden to walk on the grass. A short walk from one end of the yard to the other and you'd have no less than 7 or 8 ticks. I refuse to choose between living with toxic chemicals living in my lawn or the ticks, but I was getting pretty desperate. Thankfully I found these tubes which (I think) are working. We have just over an acre in a rural setting with woods lining one side of our property. At the end of the summer I purchased the 24 pack and placed them throughout our property, along the woods, mostly areas that looked like a critter would hang out. This spring I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT reduction in ticks, as in we've only had two ticks so far, and I've actually been allowing my kids to play in the grass. I honestly didn't think they would work, especially since not all of the cotton was taken from all of the tubes, but these are the only difference between this year and last year. I just purchased another box of 24 and set them out today. I say it's worth a try!!

These tick tubes are a great idea, but I have no idea if they are working or not. I have an acre of property and I put them all around the bush line around my property using about half the box spacing them as the instructions stated. Do the mice take the cotton and use it to build nest, I have no idea. Does it reduce the number of ticks on my property, I have no idea about that either. I have a very furry dog who gets ticks now and then, and she did get one or two this season, but is that a reduction due to the tick tubes, again, I have no idea. So it is a great idea, and I think I will put out the other half of the tubes next spring, but I am finding it hard to know if it is working or not. Still, if it helps at all, I think it is a great idea so I think I will continue using them, I just wish there was some way to verify that they were having an impact on the tick population in my yard.
