Tick Tox® is a new Australian device that is designed to instantaneously kill ticks by snap freezing. It kills ticks on people and pets. We have designed Tick Tox® to fit with outdoor life so it is easily carried in a pocket, purse or backpack. One can of Tick Tox® will kill more than 60 ticks. And it kills leeches too!
Tick Tox® is really easy to use:
- Spray: Mask skin with the Tick Tox® bookmask. Put the nozzle close to the tick and press the button for 1 second or less.
- Freeze: The temperature of the spray is well below freezing.
- Tick Dies: The tick is instantly frozen and dies.
Steps to using Tick Tox®:
- Locate tick (or ticks).
- Remove cap of Tick Tox® and practice controlling duration of a squirt. Check here to see just how little Tick Tox® kills a big tick.
- Mask skin with the Tick Tox® “bookmask” and warn the tick’s victim that it may sting!
- Aim nozzle at the tick taking great care to not touch the tick.
- Spray Tick Tox® for short as possible – less than 1 second is plenty – do not over-use.
- Tick is now dead. Dab (or better) spray the bite site with antiseptic.
- WAIT for a minimum of 10 minutes or so. During this time the jaws release –NOTE : the Australian paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus has the longest jaws of all known tick. Sometimes these massive jaws take a long time to release. Be patient and NEVER squeeze the tick with blunt tweezers – even when it has been snap frozen and killed with Tick Tox.
- Brush dead tick away.
- Dab some more antiseptic on the bite site.
- See a doctor if any disturbing symptoms occur in next few days – for example appearance of a ring around the bite site.
SAFETY:
The contents are extremely flammable.
Do not use near naked flame
Do not smoke

Be aware that overuse or direct application of Tick Tox spray to the skin can cause a burn. This can be avoided by using the book mask and carefully following the instructions. A burn presents as a swollen red area and the development of a blister. If a burn does occur seek medical advice.
What is Tick-Tox?
Tick-Tox® is an Australian snap-freeze tick spray that instantly kills ticks on people and pets by freezing them in place — so you do not have to squeeze or pull a live tick (which can make a bite worse). It is compact enough for a pocket, bag or first aid kit.
How to use Tick-Tox
- Locate the tick on the skin or pet.
- Protect the surrounding skin with the Tick-Tox "bookmask".
- Hold the nozzle close and press for 1 second or less — the tick is snap-frozen and killed.
- Wait at least 10 minutes for the tick’s jaws to release.
- Brush the dead tick away — do not squeeze it — then dab antiseptic on the bite.
Avoid overuse or spraying directly onto unprotected skin, which can cause a cold burn. Always use the bookmask and follow the pack instructions.
Tick-Tox FAQs
How does Tick-Tox work?
It snap-freezes the tick to well below freezing, killing it instantly so you can remove it without squeezing.
Can I use Tick-Tox on pets?
Yes — it is designed to kill ticks on both people and pets.
Why should I not just pull the tick out?
Squeezing or pulling a live tick can inject more saliva or allergen into the bite. Freezing it first kills it in place before removal.
How long do I wait after spraying?
Wait at least 10 minutes so the tick’s jaws release, then gently brush it away.
Is Tick-Tox safe on skin?
Keep the spray off unprotected skin by using the bookmask, to avoid a cold burn, and follow the instructions. Dab antiseptic on the bite afterwards.
