Avoiding Tick Bites

Think Ticks
Before you leave the house, remember that you could be travelling to or hiking around tick-prone areas.
Insect Repellent
Pack incognito's insect repellent and apply it before and during the periods that you could be exposed to ticks.
Our award-winning insect repellent, roll-on and sunblock have been clinically tested to be 100% effective against ticks.
Cover Up
Cover your bare skin as much as possible, wearing loose clothing and applying insect repellent on any exposed areas of your body.
Check your entire body after you return from your outing, including hidden crevices (like behind the ears). Check your pets as well.
Keep to Paths
Stick to designated paths. If you must deviate from the course, tuck your pants into your socks.
