The tick remover works by the lasso principle. It can be used on both humans and animals. The removed tick is always stuck at the tip of the remover and can be easily disposed of. The loop is made of special fibre which has a pull strength of more than 20 lbs. The loop is big enough to take care of most tick species in the world.

TRIX is a very effective remover which easily and safely can remove the whole tick, big or small. Even the smallest tick nymph is easy to remove with this tool.

1. Press down the loop and put it over the tick, as close to the skin as possible.

2. Let go of the button and tilt the tick remover perpendicularly against the skin.

3. Keep the green point against the skin and turn it one round between your fingers. Lift away.

4. If it is a very small tick: place the green point close to the tick and press the point down a little into the skin to angle up the loop. Release the button, twist and lift away.

Twist the tick away

If you pull a tick straight out the barbs grip and get even more stuck in the skin. The risk of pulling the tick apart also increases.

If you twist instead, the barbs will release their grip easier and all of the front part together with the head can come along. Tests have shown that it does not matter what direction you twist, clockwise or counterclockwise gives the same good results.

Twisting also reduces pain

When you pull a tick away, it causes some pain in the skin, but if you twist it away with a tick remover which keeps the mouthpart in a firm grip, the removal will be painless. Always twist the tick away when using TRIX Tick Lasso
