The present invention is a natural method to kill insects and ticks on animals and humans. It is non-toxic under general use to the applicator and the treated animal. When used as directed, the current invention will come in contact with and kill small insects and ticks that would otherwise go unnoticed. The present invention is unique because of the presence of dried ground mint which repels aphids, white flies, and others； dried ground oregano which repels most insects； food grade silicon dioxide which adheres to insect and tick exoskeletons as they crawl through it, dehydrating their exoskeletons, which kills them mechanically instead of chemically. Current products are applied to the top of the fur or clothing. Tick nymphs crawl on animals and humans unnoticed under the fur, hair or clothing. The invention can be applied to pastures, pet living/sleeping areas, and hunting stands through a dust applicator or shaker.
