Ticks and LeechesStore Top | Bugs, Bites & Stings | Ticks and Leeches  | Flying insects are bad enough, but when they start crawling all over you and sucking your blood it's time to take serious action! Ticks and Leeches can be thoroughly unpleasant at the best of times, and even a little bit scary if you're not quite sure how to deal with them....
As always, the best thing to do is to keep them at bay with a combination of insect repellents and protective clothing, but if any of them do make it through your defences a tick extractor could come in very handy.... |

Mosquitoes and ticks love to congrugate and bite around your feet and ankles, and this can become quite a problem if left unchecked. Insect repellents can help enormously, but now you can go one step better with Care Plus Bugsox. | | Ticks are spider-like insects that attach themselves with their mouth parts to the skin of a host and then feed themselves with its blood. Not very pleasant, but a Tick Remover or Tick Tweezers will help you to remove them quickly and effectively. | | Ticks are becoming quite a problem throughout Northern Europe and beyond, and there also seems to be an increasingly high incidence of them carrying and transmitting infectious diseases such as Lyme's Disease. Fortunately though there a number of good repellents available. | | Permethrin kills insects on contact, and it's recommended by the UK Health Protection Agency for treating clothing in areas where there is a risk of malaria. It can also be used to treat tents and mosquito nets to improve their effectiveness. | | If you've ever travelled through a leech infested area you'll appreciate the value of these Leech Socks - they stop leeches from getting into your socks and crawling up your trouser legs - a most unpleasant experience, and one to be avoided if at all possible.....
