I’ve been carrying the Tick Key around on my key chain for roughly 6 months now. I haven’t had the chance to use it yet, but I like knowing it’s on me. The Tick Key is ultra light, super thin and not much larger than a house key – you won’t even notice it.
Removing wood ticks properly is important when you’re trekking through the wilderness. Thus far, the Tick Key seems like a very handy piece of kit. I bought a second one for my dog which hangs on her dog collar like a dog tag.
Fact: The Tick Key is endorsed by the American Canine Association.
I have a pair of “scissor-like” tick removers, but this little device is quite a bit more robust, portable, and likely easier to use. Honestly, I hope I never get a chance to test it.
The TICK KEY® is the only tick removal device on the planet that uses
natural forward leverage to remove the entire tick, head and all, quickly
and safely without touching or squishing even the toughest engorged ticks.
Tick key is 99.9% effective on the safe removal of all sizes and types of
ticks from people and pets.
