A tick removal hook , from the creators of the famous insect repellent.

Smidge says: 

The Smidge Quick Untick Hooks allows easy, safe removal of any size of tick with a just quick twirl. It doesn’t compress the tick’s body, so avoiding the possible transmission of any disease agents. It’s an essential tool for the family first-aid kit and really handy for your pets as well.

Our Verdict

Smidge insect repellent, which you can find in a new travel bottle here, is a Scottish staple for me in the months between late May right through till the end of September. So, I was pleased to see the guys behind the leading insect repellent have also released 2 small tick removal hooks. One small and one slightly large. This is the safest way to remove a tick if you find one has managed to get on and bite you. Handy to keep in your travel first aid kit, I find I tend to use this on my dog rather than myself, as he seems to attract them like a magnet.
