Review on TropiClean Natural Flea & Tick Home Spray For Dogs, 32Oz - Essential Oils Kill Fleas Naturally On Carpet, Furniture, & Bedding - Suitable For Use In Homes With Dogs & Cats - Made In The USA by Renee Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't actually kill ticks

The bottled arrived today. I found a tick (on the floor) within 30 minutes of the package arrival - fate? I put the tick in a clear, clean plastic container and give it a hearty squirt. The bottle states 'kills on contact'. 15 minutes later, the tick is moving around as if nothing happened. As I write this review, it has now been 30 minutes and the little bugger is going strong.Doesn't sound like 'kill on contact' does it?The product does smell nice, but I would rather have it work. Reached out to the manufacturer via their website as well. Will initiate a return within a day or so, depending on speed of reply and actual content/tone of reply.EDITHeard back from their customer service within a day. On the back of the bottle, in much smaller print, it does state 'kills by contact' and was informed that it can take up to 48 hours (that is not stated on the bottle anywhere). Tone of email was nice enough and by the next day, the tick was dead (to be fair, I also exposed it to vinegar, acetone, and rubbing alcohol, which it appeard to shrug off as well). It would also be nice to see this information on the Revain listing so that our expectation is realistic. I noticed the bottle image states 'by contact' but my bottle does say on contact so perhaps this has been an issue in the past.I went ahead and used the product on my dogs, and will try it out. Next live tick I see, I'll try this experiment again with just the Tropiclean product to see if that alone will suffice to terminate the tick.Bumping the review up a star for customer service and will perhaps adjust again if I either don't see anymore ticks (I plan on using the product every four days as stated on back label) or it kills the next tick in isolation within the 48 hours).
