Tick protection for humans and animals!

The finally beautiful weather is perfect for walks in the forest or playing in the meadow. Unfortunately, we are not alone. Due to the cold winter, ticks are currently also extremely active again, up to an altitude of around 1500 metres above sea level. Of course, our four-legged friends who enjoy themselves outdoors are also affected. Find out in this article how you can protect your family and pets from tick bites most effectively.
Prevention plays an important role in avoiding tick bites. Here you will find tick protection for humans and animals .
For babies and children
The non-toxic solution for tick defence for babies and toddlers is attached to the pram or shoes. Tickless Baby is suitable for children up to 10 years old. The ultrasonic tick repellent is the ideal product for repelling ticks during outdoor activities.
For children and adults
The spray from Kik protects against ticks for up to five hours and is suitable for adults and children from the age of one. The tick repellent can be evenly distributed on the skin by spraying. The bottle is ideal for taking with you on walks or hikes.
Tips beyond that
- Cover your arms and legs with long-sleeved clothing.
- Wear sturdy shoes with socks. You can also put the socks over your trousers temporarily.
- Shower thoroughly after walks or hikes and dry your body thoroughly with a towel after showering.
- Check your body for ticks after being outdoors: Pay particular attention to areas such as the back of the knees and armpits. Ticks particularly like to bite there.
- If you find a tick, carefully remove it with special tick tweezers. Do not twist the tick: It is important that you remove the tick evenly without injuring it.
For animals
Unfortunately, even our four-legged friends are not spared from nasty tick attacks. Just like with children, we also need to ensure that animals are properly protected.
Tickless Pet is an environmentally friendly defence solution against ticks and fleas that works with 40khz ultrasonic pulses. The ultrasonic pulses reliably keep the ticks away from your dog or cat.
If you have discovered a tick on your beloved pet, you must remove it immediately and evenly with tick tweezers.
