TickLess Pet Ultrasonic Tick and Flea Repellent, Beige

Does what it says on the tin

It works well until the battery runs out

So, I bought this, because this year there has been an enormous amount of ticks lurking about, even for the area where we live, which is heavily wooded. I would use citronella spray on my dog, and a flea/tick collar (not to mention the tablets, but those only work if the tick would actually bite her), but would still find a tick crawling on her here and there. Devastated, I researched what else I could do to deter the ticks to try and make a lunch out of my dog, and I came across this product.The reviews were mixed, so I went to find some more information elsewhere. I found a fair amount of articles and reviews that were raving about this little device, so I decided to buy it. What a waste of money.First of all, the very first day I attached this thing on my dog's collar, I saw a tick crawling on her. So, despite the fact that I was using several things to protect her, the ticks seemed to have taken a page from Clark Gable's book, and frankly didn't give a damn.On the next few subsequent walks, I would regularly have to take ticks off her, even near the device itself. It was like it wasn't even doing anything, but at least now I could say I tried just about every trick in the book.This, however, would still not make me write a bad review, as I hate doing that, and don't, if I can find at least one good thing to say about a product. I mean, it seemed to have worked for other people, so I reasoned that maybe we just have some sort of strange mutant ticks, that huff repellent like glue, and just don't care what you throw at them.What made me write this review, is that after 2 weeks the device simply stopped working. Well, it's not like it did much in the first place, you might say, but I would expect that it would at least last 6 months before it goes. If you're selling me snake oil, at least sell me a full bottle.Not to mention, that I read the instructions on the box, and made sure to use it properly, and to take it off her collar whenever we came back from a walk, and (even though it says that it can take humidity just fine, but is not water-proof) would not let her near any sort of water while wearing it.In short, this product is not worth the money. Not by a long shot. It's also not exactly cheap either, so you'd probably be better off spending it on a nice toy or treat for your poochie, than waste it on this. I sure wish I did.

I decided to give a try to this as my old dog has several conditions and i would like to avoid chemicals if possible. It’s been 2 months and still no fleas. I am buying it for my cat too.

living in a high tick infested area I got this a year ago. it does do what it says and I can't fault that, but if your dog likes to cuddle up to you, please bear in mind my experience. I was sitting in the garden enjoying the sun stroking my dog, when a tick walked off her neck (obviously the Tickless Pet ultrasonic was doing its job) but it then headed for the next living creature - ME !! During the next 10 days while I waited for the Frontline to start working, I found a number of ticks that had walked off her. Fortunately my carpet is light and any dark speck is seen so I was able to keep on top of what could have been an infestation. My children are aware of ticks and know how nasty they are, but theirs friends were not so informed and I would have hated if one had gone on to a child and that child was unfortunate to develop one of the many illnesses that ticks carry. So though I don't like the idea of the chemicals in my dogs blood, it is the only way I think I can go, at least the tick dies once it has attached itself if using the likes of Frontline

Can’t say it really repels the fleas as still finding them on my two dogs.

My Bichon scratches non stop. One flea will drive her insane and she damages herself causing inflammed skin, and the constant licking makes it worse to the extent that she needs antibiotics and steroids. Vet said that is not a good thing to keep using those. Used several well known flea prep. Advantage, Frontline, Advocat etc. To be effective this nerve agent/poison has to get in the bloodstream for the flea to bite and feed and thus die. So the flea has to get on her to die. Its the bite that causes the inflammation.So in desperation I researched and read and researched. I purchased the ZecPet 9th September. She has worn it for four weeks no further biting and scratching and the old injuries that she caused herself are healing at last. The good thing with the Ultrasonic flea tag is that it does not allow fleas to get on the dog in the first place. It does NOT kill fleas - the ultra sonic acts as a barrier and the fleas do not get on her anymore. I am a cynical long time dog owner and woprk with dogs. Whoopppeeedo.

I live in an area surrounded by ticks and this did make a big difference on the amount picked up by the dog. 3 Stars only as it is not waterproof! Heavy rain / dog in a stream and it dies.
