Have anyone tried/researched #Nootkatone - an natural alternative to #Permethrin as tick killer (insecticide)?

I've discovered it by reading "The Ultimate Hang", and would like to hear your opinions, experiences with it?

Also, anyone knows good brand available in Europe to try it out myself?

Thanks!

Sounds good.

"Adding a new weapon to the fight against insect-borne illnesses like Lyme disease and malaria, the Environmental Protection Agency on Monday approved a new chemical that both repels and kills ticks and mosquitoes.

The chemical, nootkatone, an oil found in cedar trees and grapefruits, is so safe that it is used by the food and perfume industries."
