In Russia, there are many territories endemic for tick-borne encephalitis. The only way to protect yourself from dangerous insects is to treat your clothes before going into the forest. There are two types of chemicals for ticks: repellents repel them, acaricides kill them. Complex compositions have a combined effect. Tick repellents are available in the form of a spray or aerosol. Acaricides are toxic, they should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin. Therefore, you should carefully read the instructions on the can. Usually clothes are pre-treated, in the open air. The product is sprayed onto the fabric, left for a couple of hours until it dries and the pungent odor disappears.Some sprays can be applied to the skin, but they are weaker and do not provide complete protection against tick bites.
Top 10 best tick remedies for humans
10 OFF! Extreme
Country: Russia
Average price: 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.5
This aerosol repels insects - does not kill them. The repellent is universal. It equally effectively repels all insects - ticks, mosquitoes, midges, horseflies. They can be processed clothes or applied to exposed areas of the body. But the duration of the action let us down a little - when applied to the skin, the repellent works only 4 hours, when processing clothes - no more than three days. Compared to other means, the indicators are very weak.
Therefore, users in reviews often write about the inflated price. The tool is universal, but its action ends quickly, the balloon lasts for a very short time, the smell seems very unpleasant to many, even suffocating. But if the spray has to be used infrequently, then this is a good option.
9 Reftamid Maximum
Country: Russia
Average price: 260 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
The difference between Reftamid spray and other tick protection products is that it can be applied to the skin. That is, it is less toxic, but protects well from 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.
Buyers do not like only the sharp, unpleasant smell of the product. Otherwise, it has become a salvation for many - you can safely walk through the forest or go about your business in the country, without fear of tick bites and without brushing off other annoying insects. The price of the product is more than affordable, and the effectiveness is on top.Therefore, Reftamid is one of the most popular repellents.
8 Kleschevit Super
Country: Russia
Average price: 290 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
When purchasing this spray, carefully look at the inscription in the lower right corner. In identical bottles from this brand, two different products are sold - one for processing clothes, the other for summer cottages. Judging by user reviews, both sprays are equally effective. They scare away ticks, lead to their death. The tool for the garden causes no less delight among buyers.
Users have no complaints about the action and effectiveness of Kleshchevit, but they don’t really like the packaging itself. It is inconvenient to spray the spray, you have to wear gloves to avoid getting the product on the skin of your hands. But it gives reliable protection - up to two weeks when processing clothes. Do not apply repellent to open areas of the body!

6 Killing power 3 in 1
Country: Russia
Average price: 133 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.7
Cheap but effective anti-mite garment spray. Due to the toxic composition, it has a rather pungent odor. It is forbidden to spray it on open areas of the body and treat clothes on yourself! Clothing should be processed until light dampness appears, then left to dry. One treatment will protect you from ticks for two weeks.
In the reviews, users are surprised that such an effective spray is very cheap. And there is no catch in the price - the can is large, it lasts for a long time. Another plus is that the product is sold in most stores in the departments of household chemicals and insect repellents. Minus - weak protection against mosquitoes.

Rating (2022): 4.8
An effective aerosol for the protection against ticks and flying insects at a small price. Spray treat clothes, avoiding contact with open areas of the body.

3 Aerosol BROS "Max"
Country: Poland
Average price: 419 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.9
This spray is based on a common repellent substance - N,N-diethyltoluamide. It does not kill ticks, but effectively repels them, while relieving a person of annoying mosquitoes and midges. True, it only works for a few hours, so the manufacturer allows you to apply it repeatedly, no more than twice a day. Unlike stronger products based on alphacypermethrin, it is not so toxic to humans - clothing and exposed areas of the body can be treated with a spray.
Judging by the reviews, people consider this remedy 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 convenient to apply, you do not need to pre-treat and ventilate clothes, you can use it for children over five years old. Minus - due to the small volume, the spray ends quickly, so the price is high.
