Why is tick spray important?

Tick spray provides effective protection against tick bites and associated diseases such as Lyme disease and TBE. Tick sprays such as Persanté STOPP form a protective barrier on the skin, which significantly reduces the risk of tick bites and their consequences. The use of tick sprays is essential, especially in high-risk areas.

Tips for use

Apply the tick spray evenly to uncovered areas of skin. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes to prevent irritation. Even hard-to-reach areas such as behind the ears should not be missed. Reapply every few hours, especially after sweating or bathing, to maintain protection. It is therefore advisable to always have the tick spray to hand, especially in tick-rich areas.

A patch test is recommended before the first application to rule out allergic reactions. If your skin is not sensitive, the spray can be used without hesitation. Follow the instructions on the packaging for maximum effectiveness.

Where should tick spray be applied?

The tick spray should be applied to uncovered areas of skin such as legs, arms and neck. Clothing and shoes should also be sprayed to repel ticks. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes and open wounds to prevent irritation.

How long does tick spray protect?

Persanté STOPP protects against tick bites for up to 4 hours. To maintain protection, the spray should be renewed regularly, especially in the event of heavy sweating or intensive exercise. Despite the protective effect, the body should always be checked thoroughly for ticks after spending time outdoors.

How does the active ingredient Icaridin work?

Icaridin is a highly effective repellent that is used in many insect repellents to repel ticks and other insects. The active ingredient works by blocking the sensory receptors of ticks and mosquitoes, which normally react to human odours and body heat. As a result, the insects lose the ability to recognise the skin as a target and avoid the treated areas. Icaridin reliably protects against bites and stings and provides long-lasting protection for the skin, often lasting up to several hours. 

Why is Icaridin recommended by the WHO?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends Icaridin due to its high efficacy and good tolerability. Compared to other active ingredients, Icaridin rarely causes skin irritation and has a neutral odour, which makes it particularly user-friendly. Icaridin is also considered safe for use in children and pregnant women, making it a preferred choice for protection against tick- and mosquito-borne diseases worldwide. The WHO recommendation emphasises the confidence in the efficacy and safety of Icaridin as a reliable protection against ticks and other dangerous insects.
