The weather is showing sustained above-freezing temperatures. And that is a reason for increased tick activity: they awaken when the temperature rises to +5 °С and above. During this period it is important to take precautions when visiting areas inhabited by ticks.

Despite their small size, they pose a serious threat to people: they are carriers of tick-borne encephalitis — a severe disease of the central nervous system. Ticks can also transmit other serious diseases, including plague, tularemia, borreliosis, brucellosis, and typhus. Even if a tick bite was brief, the risk of contracting tick-borne infections cannot be ruled out.
For your protection we have prepared a selection of special protective suits that can safeguard you not only from the harmful effects of ticks but also from other various insects.
The suit ЭКСПЕДИЦИЯ ЛЮКС is approved by specialists of the Institute of Disinfectology «ФБУН ФНЦГ им. Ф.Ф. Эрисмана» Rospotrebnadzor and, when used correctly, provides 100% protection against tick bites and blood-sucking insects. Two color options are available — khaki with olive and digital camouflage “tsifra”.
The suit ЭКСПЕДИЦИЯ БН ПАЛАТКА — a set consisting of a jacket and trousers, made in a universal khaki color. The hood has a mosquito net, there are knitted cuffs at the bottom of the sleeves and trousers, and folds that trap ticks on both the jacket and trousers.
The main feature of the suits is special fold-traps that catch ticks and prevent them from moving upward on the clothing. Before use these traps must be treated with a special acaricidal agent — then the suits provide 100% protection.
It is important to observe special behavior rules when in areas of tick activity:
- When putting on the suit, tuck the bottom of the jacket lining into the trousers and the inner cuffs of the trousers into your boots.
- Point the traps downward.
- Fasten all closures.
- In the forest it is best to wear the hood and fasten the net to minimize the risk of ticks reaching the body.
- If the suit becomes wet during use, you must repeat the treatment with the special agent before putting it on again.
