9 best tick remedies

Ticks in themselves are insects completely harmless. All they need is a protein from the blood, necessary for the vital activity and reproduction of these insects. The problem lies in the ability of ticks to carry dangerous viruses that provoke serious diseases: encephalitis, Lyme disease, spotted fever, ehrlichiosis, typhoid and other pathologies dangerous by disability and death. The cunning of the insect is the impossibility of determining the carrier of the infection without laboratory tests. To reduce or eliminate the risk of a tick bite, manufacturers offer various means that deter unwanted "companions".

Experts from the online magazine EXPERTOLOGY investigated the market of special tick repellents, acaricides and ranked the most effective means capable of ensuring the safety of mushroom pickers, fishermen, gardeners and other fans to relax in nature in areas without appropriate treatment.

The best remedies for external mites

The most reliable anti-parasite bites are various gels, sprays and creams. They are applied to the skin or clothing, creating a protective barrier: the insects are repelled by either the smell of repellent, or the composition of the resulting film or fabric impregnation kills them.

Destructive power Antikleshch 3 in 1

Rating: 4.9

The first tool in the ranking is a domestic-made spray Killer 3 in 1 anti-mite designed to protect against ticks found in the taiga and forests, including ixodid insects. The composition will also eliminate the landing of bloodsucking - mosquitoes, mosquitoes and biting midges. The main advantage of acaricide "Deadly force" - the action to defeat: insects that came into contact with the solution and the resulting film, die, and do not hide in fear. Such a core concentration of the active substance does not allow to apply the drug on the skin - only on clothes, but the effect lasts up to 5 days (for blood-sucking) and up to 15 days for ticks. Thus, 3in1 Anti-mite can be called not only an effective, but also an economical means. However, the processing of clothes should be carried out to a slightly moistened state, that is, the fabric is completely soaked with liquid, then it should dry before dressing. Accordingly, after socks, you must take a shower and wash off the remnants of the drug from the skin. For human health, Antikleshch is completely safe with the exception of cases of allergy to the components of the solution.

Means of protection against ticks Bradex TD 0324

Rating: 4.8

The second in the ranking portable repeller device for home use Bradex TD 0324, working from the outlet.
