The present paper investigates the efficacy of common anti-tick repellents in Europe and in the USA. There were tested Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor reticulatus, and Rhipcephalus sanguineus when they are placed onto hands and clothes of male and female humans being treated with common tick repellents. It was seen that DEET needed high concentrations to repel ticks, while essential oils are mostly inefficient. On the other hand saltidin=icaridin, p-menthan-diol and IR 3535 showed long-lasting effects, which in the case of combinations of saltidin and Vitex extracts were even increased.
本研究考察了常见驱蜱剂在欧洲和美国的功效。将 Ixodes ricinus、Dermacentor reticulatus 和 Rhipcephalus sanguineus 放置在涂有常见驱蜱剂的男性和女性人类的手部和衣物上，测试其效果。研究发现，DEET 需要高浓度才能驱蜱，而精油大多无效。另一方面，盐定宁（icaridin）、薄荷脑和 IR 3535 表现出持久的效果，而盐定宁和荆条提取物的组合效果甚至更强。
