You won’t find any tick only ones. The nature of ticks makes spray for them effective for fleas. The reason we have flea stuff that isn’t good for ticks is because the fleas get on and feed and then die or their eggs won’t hatch and that ends the problem. That’s not the case with ticks. Getting on and feeding is the problem, because that’s when they transmit disease. Anything that is stong enough to repel ticks so that they don’t get on and feed will also repel fleas. The only thing I know of that kills ticks that doesn’t kill fleas is Ivermectin. And you have to give the dose to the dog while the tick is on it or just before, then the fact that the tick is eating for long enough to get a big enough dose kills it. By the time a flea ate enough, the Ivermectin would have already cleared the dog’s body.
