Would strapping a cat's flea-and-tick-coller just above the knees stop the ticks from going to the nether regions?

My sister, who has been a vet assistant for umteen thousand years, once told me that flea and tick collars don’t protect the cat or dog’s whole body. It just stops them from moving onto the head.

Ticks are really bad this year, especially out at our land. Ticks come from the ground up. We have the main areas mowed so they HAVE to start from the ground, at your feet, but that isn’t stopping the ticks altogether. Virtually everyone who came out found a tick on them. Next time we take the kids out, or ourselves for that matter, if we strapped cat flea-and-tick collars on their legs, or our legs, just above the knee, will that stop the ticks from going any higher into their hidy places that you don’t find for two or three days when “ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! GET IT OFF ME!!!!” reverberates through the house?

Please think about it for a second folks, before anyone starts to react to using “pesticides meant for animals” on humans. We use pesticides all the time, in the form of spray-on insect repellant, lice shampoo, bug bombs, and a dozen other ways. Bugs is bugs. They react to the same thing. Mammals is mammals. We’re the same in more ways than we’re different
