How does Damminix take advantage of a ticks natural cycle?
Damminix turns the field mouse into a tick killer… not as unlikely as it sounds! Mice are always collecting nesting material. We take advantage of this need for nesting material by giving it to them in a form both convenient to administer and effective in transforming mice into tick killers. Damminix Tick Tubes® are short open ended cardboard tubes filled with cotton nesting material. This nesting material is treated with permethrin, a tick killing chemical. Mice find the tubes and collect the cotton to make their nests. The permethrin binds to oils on the fur of the mice. Ticks that attempt to attach are killed, transforming the mice from tick hosts to tick killers. The mice are unharmed.
