About Tickless Run Repelente ultrasónico de garrapatas
Tickless Run es un repelente ultrasónico de garrapatas diseñado para corredores y senderistas activos. El dispositivo emite una serie de pulsos ultrasónicos que perturban a las garrapatas y las mantienen alejadas, sin utilizar productos químicos. Tickless Run mide 22 mm de ancho y 38 mm de alto, por lo que su peso es reducido y apenas se percibe mientras se corre. Una banda de silicona se inserta en las lengüetas laterales y se fija a los cordones de las zapatillas para lograr una sujeción firme. Una batería recargable ofrece una protección de larga duración, y una luz nocturna favorece la visibilidad en la oscuridad.

- Design Challenge
- The hardest part in creating the design was to fit all the components into the shell and remain tiny sized. Its shape was determined by the rechargeable battery and its height by the other parts as transducer, microchip, led light, micro-Usb connector, Pcb (Printed Circuit Board), and the button. The design of the cover was determined by the transducer, the led light, and the button. Our aim was to create a small product that is super light, easy to attach and stays fixed while running.
- Research
- We conducted market research that demonstrated the need for such a chemical-free and rechargeable product against ticks which is more sustainable. Nowadays, we spend more and more time in nature, so the control of ticks is also extremely important. Our goal with this design was to create a stylish accessory that is fashionable to wear on the one hand, and its shape perfectly meets the needs of runners and active hikers on the other.
- Inspiration
- Since 2010, our brand has been looking for breakthrough solutions to open a new chapter in the fight against parasites. We are working for a safe environment for both humans and animals by preventing diseases transmitted by ticks. We believe that with our innovations we can generate changes in the incidence of parasitic problems. Our goal is to offer the most reliable and effective non-toxic tick repellent device which is also environmentally friendly.
- Project Duration
- The Tickless Run project started in April 2020, Budapest, Hungary and finished in December 2020 at the same place. The very first prototype was born in 2018, but we have been constantly improving that design ever since until it reached its current shape and colour.
- Operation Flow
- The Tickless Run’s technology is based on ultrasonic waves. The device emits series of ultrasonic pulses which disturb ticks, thus keeping them away.
