I am not sure if this is a good idea or not; however I know that borax kills bugs of all kinds and is relatively safe.

I am in the process of putting it on my lawn because if the soil boron level is above a certain level it will kill creeping charley in the grass. The protocol calls for doing it every 3 years, and for dissolving it in water first. If I get too much on it can turn the grass yellow, or even kill it; but if I remember where I put it, it works pretty well. I am wondering if I will have any fleas or ticks when I am done.

I am finding nothing is working on ticks..They are on steroids where I am. My dogs are picking them up every time I let them out so of course they are in my house. Getting routine to pick ticks off myself and kids! The steroid fleas have not started yet- give em a couple more weeks.

Marshall, are you saying the sulphur prevents ticks? I've used a garlic spray and it wasn't real effective. Do you have a brand name that is ok for dogs to walk on? Thanks, Jess

How does the sulfur granules effect the soil PH?  I have used Sulfur in the garden to raise the PH.  We don't have a tick problem but fleas feast in our area.
