Fine sublimated SULFUR Dust/Powder, a.k.a. FLOWERS-of-SULFUR... has been used
over the years, to lightly-dust onto dry-skin and into-socks, before going in
wooded area.
It keeps Ticks, Fleas, Chiggers, etc. from biting/attaching to Humans and/or
Dogs, etc.?
Sulfur/(Brim Stone), has long historical record around world as being SAFE,
insecticide!
As to pet/farm-animals... co-ops sell veterinary Sulfur-Pills & Salt+Sulfur
LICKing Block.
WWW.DOGPILE.COM Then try \...@^@/~> [SULFUR+TICK], or [SULFUR+FLEA]
Ticks Hate a Puff of Sulfur
(Snip below from DogPile)
...the meantime, many military folk in the field use sulfur powder to repel
bugs. It works better than any commercial product that I have ever tried. Go to
your local pharmacy and ask for either sulfur powder or "flowers of sulfur". It
is over the counter, but often is kept behind the counter. Put the powder in a
large holed salt, pepper, or Parmesan cheese shaker. Military men will
sometimes pour it into a sock and use it as a powder puff. One inexpensive
bottle can last a family of four for more than a year. Put on as you would
talcum powder. It will not stain or leave a sticky residue. ~Snipped from DP
[Sulfur+Tick]
The KEY phrase here, is to LIGHTLY-DUST on Skin... much like using TALCUM
powder.
Not sure, but you might still find "Flowers-of-Sulfur" at Drug Stores, near
IODINE, etc...?
GARDEN variety SULFUR sold in 50-lb bag, is much courser,
than Flowers-of-Sulfur and more costly than the 50-lb GARDEN
variety GRANULE-SULFUR, try using BOTH ways?
Growing up (as Boy/(Bat)-Scout) in Missouri Woods... everyone used,
Flowers-of-Sulfur,
also remember inside our home... sprinkling Flowers-of-Sulfur in/around...Dogs
bedding!
Fly-n-High
BATzCUZ
P.S. Have also been told that if you have enough birds in area, sprinkling Bird
Seed~ on
ground near dwellings, will get birds to start eating on-ground... so they
find/eat TICKS..!
(Hey. it sounds logical to me... but after Ticks, Fleas, other-insects
gone, you got Birds)

Marshall, are you saying the sulphur prevents ticks? I've used a garlic spray
and it wasn't real effective. Do you have a brand name that is ok for dogs to
walk on? Thanks, Jess

How does the sulfur granules effect the soil PH? I have used Sulfur in the
garden to raise the PH. We don't have a tick problem but fleas feast in our
area.
