Hello Merdeen,
Its a difficult one to get the balance right for hogs as most of them have a tick or two from time to time and they all scratch quite a lot.
I would suggest you immediately remove and destroy any ticks you do find on the ground or around feeding areas etc
If you are looking for some natural options to apply to hog habitats, I would suggest you could try this:
•Boil 4 cups water in a saucepan. Once water boils, remove from heat.
•Add 1 ounce dried rosemary, stirring gently with a spoon.
•Strain the cooled liquid through a strainer into a spray bottle.
•Add three drops each of Lavender Oil, Lemon oil and eucalyptus oil.
I wouldn’t suggest spraying the hog with this though – they are very particular about how they smell!
