A study on the acaricidal properties of foam soap containing the essential oil of  Chenopodium ambrosioides  leaves was carried out on  Rhipicephalus lunulatus . Four doses (0.03, 0.06, 0.09, and 0.12  µ L of essential oil per gram of soap) and a control (soap without essential oil) with four replications for each treatment were used for  in vitro  trial. Each replication consisted of 10 ticks in a Petri dish with filter paper impregnated with the foam soap on the bottom. Following  in vitro  trials, three doses (0.06, 0.09, and 0.12  µ L/g) and the control in two replications were selected for  in vivo  test based on mortality rate recorded from the  in vitro  trial. Each replication was made up of 10 goats naturally infested with ticks. Results show that soap containing essential oil is toxic to  R. lunulatus . The  in vivo  mortality rate in the control on day 8 was 22.69% whereas the highest dose (0.12  µ L/g) killed 96.29% of the ticks on day 8. The LD 50  of the foam soap containing essential oil was 0.037 and 0.059  µ L/g on day 2 in the laboratory and on the farm, respectively. This indicates the potentially high efficiency of this medicated soap on this parasite.
