Warm and humid conditions are ideal for insects looking to multiply. In Europe, this is mainly the case in summer, but it's a problem all year round in many other parts of the world. Mosquitoes and ticks can be incredibly annoying while doing outdoor activities and when travelling. Insect repellent comes in handy here. Sprays, air fresheners and special nets for the head and legs also help against mosquitoes. In addition to special clothing, vaccinations and sprays, checking your body after an outdoor excursion can also protect against ticks. If you've been bitten by a tick, you can remove it yourself with special pliers, which we also sell. Nonetheless, you should always consult a doctor after a bite.
