Default Natural tick repellent

Scientists with USDA and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station
discovered that "Nootkatone, a component of essential oil in grapefruit
peels and other sources..." has another use, "repelling blacklegged deer
ticks that spread Lyme disease."

Good news for Florida's citrus growers too!

A link to the news release is available on the UF/IFAS Pest Alert site.
