LEARN ABOUT PESTS / GUIDES
Reduce contact in grassy and scrub areas, choose a tick-labelled repellent for exposed skin and check your body afterwards. An attached tick and environmental tick control are different situations. Do not apply these products to attached ticks.

Some infected tick species can carry pathogens, including those causing Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF), an important tick-borne illness in Türkiye. Not every tick or attachment causes disease. Risk varies with species, region and infection status. Seek medical advice if fever, weakness or unusual symptoms develop after attachment, and mention the tick contact.
Ticks are arachnid arthropods, not insects. They do not fly or jump; they may wait on grass or shrubs and attach by contact to a passing person or animal. Measures targeting airborne pests alone are therefore insufficient.
Grassy, scrub and wooded areas, and places frequented by animals, can be contact points. Exposure varies with surroundings and conditions. Walk in the centre of paths rather than brushing through long grass, wear suitable clothing and check afterwards.
Ticks can be small and attachment may go unnoticed. After outdoor activity, check your body, clothes, bag and pets. Skin folds and hard-to-see areas are easily missed; an adult should check children.
Remove the tick promptly using an appropriate method. Do not grasp it with bare hands, pour cologne or chemicals on it or burn it with a cigarette. If you cannot remove it safely, seek medical care as soon as possible. Do not apply the repellents or surface products shown here to an attached tick.
Reduce contact with grass and scrub; walk in the centre of paths.
Wear clothing that covers more skin, and check your body, clothes and belongings after outdoor activity.
Plan pet tick control with a vet; do not apply environmental products to animals.
Choose a tick-labelled skin product for personal protection, or a product suited to permitted areas for control around premises.
Check that the label specifically lists ticks. A general reference to pests does not establish suitability for this target.
Personal skin protection differs from surface and premises control. Never apply these products to an attached tick.
Compare the target-specific application method and any stated duration. Do not transfer instructions between products or assume unverified durations.
Especially when buying online, check the biocidal authorisation number and date, active ingredient and instructions on the back label.
Choose a tick treatment for the target pest and application area.
