Seriously, it not only repels ticks, but you can also use it in your garden when aphids attack your roses or other plants. I have been very successful in using it by taking fresh garlic, break it up and stick it in the ground around your plant - viola - no more aphids. Works like a charm. Don't forget the major value. No dog, rubbed with garlic, has ever been bitten by a vampire dog. Look it up, the record is clear. Not a one. Evan L.
