11 Reasons Why Families Won't Face Lone Star Tick Season Without TickGuard

1. It's Built For The One Tick That Actually Matters

Not all ticks are the same. Most people fear Lyme from deer ticks, but the lone star tick is the one that can trigger Alpha-Gal Syndrome, a lifelong allergy to red meat and dairy. It hunts actively, senses the CO₂ in your breath, and can attach in about 90 seconds. TickGuard is built to repel it.

2. What One Bite Can Actually Cost You

A tick bite is never just an itchy bump. The lone star tick can trigger alpha-gal syndrome, a lifelong allergy that rips red meat, dairy, and even some medications off your family's table for good. Other ticks carry Lyme, which can drag into months of crushing fatigue, joint pain, and specialist visits that insurance fights you on. Add up the testing, the treatment, the missed work, and a whole summer of being scared to let your kids roll in the grass, and one bite can quietly cost you thousands of dollars and years of your life. Ten seconds of spraying is the cheapest insurance you will ever buy.

3. Cedar + Lemongrass Dual Barrier, Not Cedar-Only

Ticks range from slow deer ticks to the fast, aggressive lone star, and most natural sprays are cedar oil alone. Cedar handles common ticks fine, but lone stars walk right over a cedar-only barrier. TickGuard adds lemongrass, the piece the cheap brands leave out, so the dual barrier covers both. Cedar handles the common tick, lemongrass handles the dangerous one.

4. Plant-Powered, And Backed By Published Science

Using plants to keep pests away is nothing new: people have lined closets with cedar and burned lemongrass for generations. Modern research backs it up, with cedarwood oil repelling up to 94% of deer-tick nymphs and geraniol, the active in lemongrass, showing over 90% repellency against lone star ticks. Two oils, one science-backed barrier.*

5. Safe Enough For The Whole Family

Ticks hitch rides on the people and pets you love most, which is why your spray has to be safe for them. TickGuard is DEET-free and plant-based, made to be used around children and animals over 20 lbs when used as directed. No locking the dog outside for hours, no worrying about what your toddler touched.

6. DEET-Free, With None Of The Harsh Trade-Offs

Ticks are worst from spring through fall, exactly when you want to be outside, so you will be spraying often. DEET works, but it is greasy, smells like chemicals, and can melt plastics, watch faces, and gun stocks. TickGuard is plant-powered protection without the residue, the fumes, or the ruined gear.

7. Works On People, Pets, Home, And Gear

Ticks do not just wait in the grass. They ride in on clothing, shoes, gear, and pet coats, then end up on your porch and in your home. TickGuard sprays onto skin, clothing, packs, tents, pets, and doorways, so you cover the whole family and the whole property.

8. A 10-Second Routine: Shake, Spray, Go

The best tick protection is the kind you will actually use. No mixing, no mess. Shake the bottle, mist your exposed skin and gear before you head out, and reapply every few hours outdoors. Protection takes seconds, and one coat lasts you hours.
