I bought the Tickless run mainly for my dog, but also for myself as it was supposed to work within a 2.5 meter range. After walks with my dog, I always had to remove ticks, and after attaching the Tickless to my dog's collar, nothing has changed—I still remove ticks as before. I think this device does not work, it's a waste of money, and the 200+ PLN is better spent on other tick repellents.
TickLess - ultrasonic defense against ticks is a compact, portable device generating ultrasound at a frequency of 40 kHz, which remains undetectable to humans and animals. Ultrasound disrupts ticks’ sensory receptors, preventing them from orienting and locating a host. This process makes it impossible for ticks to identify potential prey in their surroundings.
Created specifically for runners, Tickless Run offers optimal protection during forest runs, time spent at allotments, fishing trips, camping, bushcraft adventures, or any outdoor activity where exposure to tick bites poses a risk.
Ticks detect hosts using the Haller's organ on the first limb, but ultrasonic waves from the device effectively block this organ’s sensory input. With an effective range of 2.5 meters, users benefit from reliable protection. For optimal performance, attach TickLess Run to shoelaces, ensuring unobstructed emission of ultrasound waves.
Ticks transmit serious diseases to humans, including Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. Relying on TickLess for ultrasonic tick protection significantly reduces the chances of a tick bite and the risk of associated infections and illnesses.
Completely safe for the environment, the device uses no chemicals and offers user-friendly operation. To activate for the first time, charge the Li-Ion battery via micro USB and hold the button. Four LED flashes confirm TickLess is switched on and active. A red indicator signals when battery power drops below 30%. To switch off, quickly triple-press the button, indicated by a double LED flash. On a full charge, the device operates for 7–14 days.
The night location feature (LED flashes rapidly) can be enabled or disabled by holding down the button for an extended period.
TickLess poses no risk to pregnant women, infants, pacemaker users, or seniors. It stands out as an effective alternative to conventional chemical repellents, which may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
Constructed from robust plastic, the unit is moisture-resistant to the IP13 standard, though direct exposure to water should be avoided.

I bought Tickless Run and Active and I must say the product is a total failure. I just finished testing it and came back from the forest with 8 ticks, and my wife, who also had Tickless, with 6. I bought them after reading positive reviews, which, unfortunately, do not reflect reality. I wanted to reduce the use of chemicals, but instead I reduced my household budget by over 400 PLN. In summary, it's a waste of money and I do not recommend it.

The TickLess Run ultrasonic tick repeller is a small and nicely made device with the advantage of being rechargeable. Ideal for walks in the forest.
-
I bought it last year and got zero ticks so I bought it again.
-
Nicely designed device and so far I haven't caught any ticks, even though I walk in the woods quite often.
-
So far, I haven't encountered a single tick, and I move around in the forest a lot, mostly off roads, so it seems effective.
-
Small, aesthetic and easy to install. As for effectiveness, probably like the Covid19 vaccine - if you believe in its effectiveness, it works :-)

This is already the second product I have bought from this company. The previous one was a pendant for people without charging capability. During almost the entire 'tick season' I didn't catch a single tick, so the device seems to fulfill its function. I bought the smaller version with the intention of attaching it to my dog's collar, and I hope it will also protect against ticks like its larger counterpart. Plus for the ability to turn on the diode, which increases visibility at night.

The battery lasts a long time, around 3-4 weeks. It probably does repel ticks, but I'm not sure because I don't have consistent enough conditions to make an exact comparison with and without the device.
