Anything that you apply, organic or not, to control or eradicate any organism is a pesticide. I agree that to apply enough insecticide/pesticide to kill ticks, you'd most definitely kill any beneficial insects. Ticks would need to be controlled with a broad spectrum insecticide that would eliminate any insect; good or "bad".
