tick repellent
Arachnid parasite spray
Tick repellent is a substance applied to skin, clothing, or gear to deter ticks from attaching and feeding.
Most contain DEET, permethrin, or picaridin.
The term covers sprays, lotions, and treated fabrics: Apply tick repellent before hiking in tall grass.
Unlike insecticides that kill on contact, repellents work by making the treated surface unappealing to ticks.
