Tick Stopper Cuffs for Humans and Dogs

When worn at the ankles during outdoor activities, untreated Tick Stopper Cuffs are a physical barrier to deter ticks from getting to your skin. They can substitute for socks when worn over the bottom of pant legs.

For even better protection, treat your cuffs with Sawyer SP657 Insect Repellent Permethrin Spray for Clothing, Gear & Tents (sold elsewhere), according to the package instructions. Treating your Tick Stopper Cuffs with permethrin adds a safe, odorless layer of protection, repelling and killing disease-spreading ticks and mosquitoes. Since you cannot apply Permethrin directly to your skin or your pet, Tick Stopper Cuffs are a safe and effective vehicle for Permethrin. Treated Tick Stopper Cuffs allow you to safely kill ticks before they can travel up your legs.

Tick Stopper Cuffs come with a handy pouch that you can tuck into your bag or pocket to avoid transferring the Permethrin to other surfaces. Whenever you are in a situation where ticks are present, slip on the cuffs, even if you are not wearing socks or long pants. Tick Stopper Cuffs are better than commercial pre-treated clothing since you should never wash items treated with Permethrin with your family laundry, especially with clothing that will be in direct contact with skin or worn by persons with skin sensitivities. If your Tick Stopper Cuffs become soiled, wash by hand with dish soap.

Dogs can bring hitchhiking ticks into your home, where someone who hasn’t even gone outdoors can be bitten. Put Tick Stopper Cuffs you have treated with permethrin on yourself and your dog before taking them for a walk.
