Background  The tick  Rhipicephalus sanguineus  is the species with the largest worldwide distribution and is proven to be involved in the transmission of pathogens such as  Babesia canis ,  Ehrlichia canis ,  Coxiella burnetii ,  Rickettsia ricketsii ,  Rickettsia conorii , among others. Studies have demonstrated acquisition of resistance to some of the active principles used in commercial formulations of acaricides.  Tagetes patula  (Asteraceae) is a plant with highlighted economic and commercial importance due to the production of secondary metabolites with insecticide and acaricide potential, mainly flavonoids, thiophenes and terpenes.    Methods  The  in vitro  acaricide action of the ethanolic 70% extract from aerial parts of  T. patula , obtained by percolation, was evaluated against larvae and engorged adult females of  Rhipicephalus sanguineus  by immersion test for 5 minutes. The chemical characterization of this extract was done by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), using direct injection of sample.    Results  Despite  T. patula  not proving lethal to adults in any of the concentrations tested, at 50.0 mg/mL oviposition rate decreased by 21.5% and eliminated 99.78% of the larvae. Also it was determined that the best results were obtained with 5 minutes of immersion. From the chromatographic analysis twelve  O -glycosylated flavonoids were identified.    Conclusions  This is the first report on the acaricidal activity of  T. patula  extract against  Rh. sanguineus . If we consider the application of the product in the environment, we could completely eliminate the larval stage of development of the ixodid  Rh. sanguineus.
