As a repellent, it works very well—no worse than DEET or Icaridin-based repellents. I removed one star due to the following issues: - Non-replaceable battery and no way to turn it off. Once you activate the device, it works "until it dies" (which is over half a year). Then you have to throw it away. - Sensitivity to water. My previous unit didn't survive a heavy rain. If you're making a sealed device, it could be made waterproof. - If many people use this device at the same time in an area and it runs non-stop, after a few days some people start to complain about sleep problems, irritability, etc. This could result from prolonged exposure to multiple ultrasonic sources. Safety studies have not considered such situations, so it's unclear if this really happens, if it's a nocebo effect, or merely a coincidence. In these cases, it would also be useful to have the option to turn the devices off.
TickLess Human Ultrasonic Tick Repeller - for humans - Green
TickLess - ultrasonic tick repeller is a compact, convenient tool designed to emit 40 kHz ultrasonic waves, which remain inaudible to both humans and animals, yet are highly effective in deterring ticks. Ultrasonic emissions disrupt the orientation and tracking abilities of ticks by blocking their sensory receptors, impeding their ability to identify hosts within their environment. Exceptionally suited for woodland hikes, allotment work, fishing, camping, bushcraft outings, and various outdoor pursuits where exposure to tick bites is heightened. Ticks transmit serious diseases such as Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. Utilizing TickLess significantly reduces the likelihood of tick bites, lowering the chances of infection and severe illness.
NOTE: Even with proper and effective operation of the device, occasional contact with ticks on clothing or skin may occur. Still, the ultrasonic signal remains effective in substantially decreasing the chance of ticks advancing to the attachment stage.
Operating range, IP13 rating
Ticks detect potential hosts by utilizing the Haller organ situated on the first leg. The ultrasound generated by the device efficiently prevents ticks from registering signals through this sensory structure. With an operational radius of approximately 2 meters, reliable protection is provided. Wearing the TickLess device on the outermost layer of clothing enables optimal distribution of ultrasonic waves. The unit can effortlessly be attached to gear such as a backpack, belt, or any other apparel.
Constructed from robust plastic, the device offers resistance to moisture in accordance with the IP13 standard; however, exposure to direct water contact should be avoided.
Safety and environmental protection
TickLess poses no risk to the environment, releases no chemicals, and offers straightforward operation. The device is entirely safe for pregnant women, young children, individuals with pacemakers, and seniors, providing a superior alternative to chemical repellents, which may sometimes provoke allergic reactions.
Device operation
To activate the device, remove the pin to engage power, then press the button. Activation is confirmed when four green LEDs flash, signaling that TickLess is operational. While in use, a single green LED flashes every five minutes for status indication. Automatic shutdown occurs after eight hours of operation, or power can be manually turned off via the button, confirmed by one long red LED blink. Operational life is approximately 3000 hours.

At first, I was skeptical of this device, unconvinced and a bit cautious. Likely because I often go to the forest and even with various products and repellents, I always brought back a few ticks “embedded” in my skin. Now I don’t have this problem anymore. I always take it with me out in the field. Of course, I don't let my guard down, and I always check myself when I get back. But Tickless has given me peace of mind, because it truly works. For me, it’s great.
-
I used it and had no ticks, so I hope it works. As for the "sounds" it makes, in my opinion they’re barely audible and you have to put the device to your ear to hear them.
-
A great gadget for rural trips and walks in the woods – TickLess Human Green protects with ultrasound (~2m range), no chemicals, works for a long time (3000h). Lightweight and really cool!
-
The device works discreetly, easy to carry. In my case, I noticed fewer ticks after walks. It doesn't guarantee 100% protection, but it brings peace of mind.
-
I spend a few hours a day in the forest and, so far, I haven't brought any ticks home. Before, I would get one from time to time, so I guess it works. Sometimes I carry it in a side pocket because I’m afraid it could slip off my belt and I’d lose it. Unfortunately, during work, I sometimes turn it off by accident, so I have to check it from time to time. In general, I am satisfied so far.
-
An ultrasonic device that works effectively. Small, handy, and doesn’t make noise. The biggest advantage is that there are no chemicals. However, remember that any repellent isn't a magic wand and if you go somewhere swarming with ticks, you might still catch something. I recommend the product and the store Militaria.pl.

TickLess Human is convenient protection against ticks without chemicals. Lightweight, simple to use, ideal for walks and forest trips. It works very well for me.
-
I spend a lot of time in the forest and so far I haven’t noticed any ticks on my clothes or body, so I guess it really works. Definitely worthy of a recommendation.
-
My wife and I have been using this device for two years and in that time no ticks have attached to us, and we're outdoors almost every day. So far my wife had Lyme disease six times, fortunately always detected early. As botanists, we know many people with tick problems, but it was rarely the case that someone brought home more than 2-3 ticks. And the dozen or so mentioned in a previous review is sheer fantasy.
-
It seems that the device works. I bought it for my wife, who used to bring home ticks from every trip to the forest/park, etc. Throughout the whole season wearing Tickless she didn’t catch any ticks. The device still works nearly a year after being activated.
-
I give it one star only because you can’t give zero, and I honestly envy everyone for whom this device worked. In my case—two walks with TickLess on my belt and each time I brought home around a dozen ticks. You could say only a dozen because I removed the rest on the go as I spotted them earlier. I returned the product, hats off to Militaria.pl for quick and positive handling of the complaint.

The TickLess Military ultrasonic tick protection in beige is a reliable choice for active people. It's safe and chemical-free and effectively repels ticks. Perfect for outdoor trips and missions. I recommend it to anyone who values safety!
-
Ultrasonic protection against ticks—TickLess Human in green is an excellent solution! No chemicals and safe for health, it effectively repels ticks. Ideal for active people spending time outdoors. I recommend it!
-
A product worth its price. As always, products from this manufacturer are of the highest quality and there’s nothing to complain about. I’ve been using them for two years and haven't had a single tick attached to my body. My dogs also have the version for animals on their collars and also haven’t brought any ticks home from walks. Now you can safely roam the forest.
