How to choose a “long-lasting” tick repellent that works even after 2 weeks

With the onset of warm days, ticks become more active. There are many ways to protect against them in forests and parks. The most famous is tucking your pants into your boots and putting on a hood. But this method does not kill insects, but only prevents them from entering the body. To destroy parasites, summer residents and gardeners often use a product based on alphacypermethrin, which reliably protects against bites.

Required:

product with alphacypermethrin.

Let's conduct an experiment:

It is recommended to treat things with a concentrate based on alphacypermethrin every 10-15 days. Sprinkle the clothes you wear in the forest with poison.

According to the manufacturers, even after 14 days the substance will be effective.

Indeed, if you place a tick on treated clothing and watch it. You will see that the insect will begin to nervously move its paws. And after 1-2 minutes it will completely freeze (We do not recommend repeating this experiment and touching the ticks).

This suggests that the anti-tick agent really works. Even after several weeks.
