Top 10 best remedies for ticks for humans
10 OFF! Extreme
This aerosol is designed to repel insects - it does not kill them. The main advantage of the repellent is its versatility. It equally effectively repels all insects - ticks, mosquitoes, midges, horseflies. They can be applied to clothing or applied directly to exposed areas of the body. But the duration of the action somewhat pumped up - when applied to the skin, the repellent lasts only 4 hours, when processing clothes - no more than three days. Compared to other products in the same price category, the indicators are very weak.
That is why users often write in reviews about inflated prices. The remedy is really universal, but its action ends quickly, the balloon is enough for a very short time, the smell seems to many to be very unpleasant, even suffocating. But if the tool has to be used infrequently, then this is quite a good option.
9 Reftamide Maximum
The difference between the spray "Reftamid" and other means for protection against ticks - it can be applied not only to clothes, but also directly to the skin. That is, it is less toxic, but provides a fairly reliable protection against various insects. It is more profitable to apply it on clothes - a one-time treatment protects against ticks for five days, from all other insects - up to a month.
The only reason for the dissatisfaction of users is the sharp, unpleasant smell of the product. Otherwise, for many, he became a real salvation - you can safely walk through the forest or go about your business in the country, without risking becoming a victim of ticks and without waving off other annoying insects. The cost of the tool is more than affordable, and the effectiveness is high. Therefore, Reftamide can be called one of the most popular repellents.
8 Kleschevit Super
When purchasing this spray, take a close look at the inscription in the lower right corner. In absolutely identical bottles from this brand, two different products are sold - one is intended for processing clothes, the other - for summer cottages. Based on user reviews, both sprays are equally effective. They not only scare away ticks, but lead to their death. By the way, the tool for the garden causes no less delight among users.
Users have no complaints about the action and effectiveness of Kleshchevit, but they don't really like the packaging itself. Spraying the spray is inconvenient; you have to do it with gloves to avoid getting the product on the skin of your hands. But it gives reliable protection - up to two weeks when processing clothes. The repellent should not be applied to open areas of the body!
7 NADZOR
A relatively inexpensive aerosol for protection against ticks and other blood-sucking insects is not very common, not always available in stores, but very effective. Despite the fact that it has less toxicity compared to stronger agents, it is still recommended to apply it only on clothing and always in the open air. After that, all equipment and clothing should be slightly ventilated outside until the spray is completely dry.
A single treatment will provide quiet walks in the forest, relieve the likelihood of tick bites, annoying mosquitoes and midges. Clothes need to be re-processed after washing. There are not many reviews about the product, but those people who have already experienced the action of the spray assure that it does its job perfectly.
6 Destructive power 3in1
Perhaps the cheapest on the Russian market, but no less effective from this spray for processing clothes to protect against ticks. It has a rather pungent odor due to its toxic composition. Therefore, it is forbidden to spray it on open areas of the body and to process clothes on yourself! Clothes should be processed until light moisture appears, then left to dry completely. One treatment will protect you from ticks for two weeks, and from other flying blood-sucking insects for up to five days.
In reviews, users are often surprised that such an effective tool (the best in their opinion) is very cheap. And there is no catch in the cost - the can is large, and given the rarity of processing clothes, it lasts for quite a long time. Another big plus is that the product is sold in most stores in the departments of household chemicals and insect repellents. But the cons were not found.
5 Help
Inexpensive, but at the same time effective aerosol for protection against ticks and flying insects. The spray is intended for processing clothes, it is recommended to avoid contact with open areas of the body. The manufacturer promises protection from ticks for up to two weeks, from mosquitoes, midges and other flying insects - up to five days.
Many people write in reviews that this tool is optimal in terms of the ratio of low price and effectiveness. True, the cost is not so low, if we take into account the small volume of the spray. This disadvantage is partially compensated by the rare need to use the spray, which is due to the duration of its action. The product is quite toxic even for humans, so it is better to strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions and not abuse the amount of repellent.
4 Picnic Family
According to the manufacturer, this spray was developed by the leading research institutes of the Russian Federation and is one of the best and most effective means for complete protection of a person from ticks. Its peculiarity is an enhanced double formula, which includes imiprotrin (0.16%) and alphacypermethrin (0.2%). The product is effective, reliable, protects a person from ticks for two weeks, but it is quite toxic, so you need to handle it very carefully.
As with all similar products, it can only be sprayed on clothing, avoiding contact with the skin. It is better to do this outdoors, and then ventilate your clothes and equipment for a couple of hours. Reviews of people fully confirm the manufacturer's statements - an effective, economical tool, since processing is rarely required and, in general, one of the best.
3 Aerosol BROS "Max"
This spray is based on a common repellent agent - N, N – diethyltoluamide. It does not kill ticks, but effectively repels them, while simultaneously ridding the person of annoying mosquitoes and midges. True, it only works for a few hours, so the manufacturer allows you to reapply it, no more than twice a day. Unlike stronger products based on alphacypermethrin, it is not so toxic to humans - it can be applied not only to clothing, but also to open areas of the body.
Judging by the reviews, people consider this remedy to be one of the best for repelling mosquitoes and midges, but they noticed that it does not provide complete protection against ticks. But there are other advantages - the spray is very easy to apply, no pre-treatment of clothes with its subsequent airing is required, it can be used for children over five years old. Minus - due to the small volume, the spray ends quickly, so its cost is quite high.
2 Gardeks Extreme
Gardeks is a fairly popular brand of means for protecting people from blood-sucking insects, including ticks. Specifically, this agent is produced in the form of an aerosol, the main active ingredient of which is alphacypermethrin. It affects the respiratory system of the tick, leading to its death, even if the insect managed to crawl from clothing to skin.
Only clothing and equipment can be processed, in no case allowing the product to come into contact with the skin. Spray (aerosol) is applied outdoors. Clothing and equipment can only be used two hours after processing. One spray protects against mites for 15 days, but if the clothes have been washed, the treatment must be repeated. Judging by the feedback from people, Gardex is very effective. It allows a person to walk calmly through the forest even during the period of tick activation, without fear of being bitten.
1 Mosquito spray
The Moskitol product line for protecting humans from ticks and other insects is considered the most famous and effective in Russia. It is not the manufacturer who calls it the best, but the people in the reviews. The main active ingredient in this spray is alphacypermethrin. It is intended mainly for protection against ticks, but also effectively repels other blood-sucking insects.
