YES! 👏

We use Insect Shield technology that is tested, proven, and EPA-registered to repel ticks (including those which may carry Lyme disease), as well as mosquitoes, ants, flies, chiggers and midges (no-see-ums).

The active ingredient (0.52% permethrin) is bound to the fabric fibers, unlike permethrin spray that sits on top of fabric fibers.

Insect Shield's EPA-registered, proprietary permethrin formula is bonded directly to the fabric fibers of each sock.

The tick protection is invisible & odorless, and lasts through 70 washes (up to 5 times longer than permethrin spray).

You can’t tell it’s there – but the ticks can.

When ticks come into contact with permethrin, their nervous system is affected – they become paralyzed, fall off, and often die.

Permethrin-treated clothing is recommended by many trusted organizations, including:

- The American Academy of Family Physicians
- The World Health Organization (WHO)
-National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety
- The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Everyone! 👏

Our socks feature built-in permethrin repellent technology that’s EPA-approved for use by the whole family without restrictions, and has an EPA safety rating of Category IV (the highest safety level awarded).

Tick Socks feel and smell just like your other clothes.

The Insect Shield protection is tightly bonded to the fabric fibers – you can’t tell it’s there, but the ticks can.

Unlike topical repellents/sprays, there's no potential for overuse, it doesn't absorb into your skin, can't be inhaled/swallowed, isn't harmful to eyes, and doesn't come off when you sweat.

No.

Tick Socks uses Insect Shield's factory-bonded permethrin treatment, where the active ingredient (0.52% permethrin) is bound to the fabric fibers, unlike permethrin spray that sits on top of fabric fibers.

As a result of this built-in process, the permethrin does not transfer to, or absorb into the skin or the environment.

Our socks are made predominantly from breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking viscose from bamboo, blended with polyester, nylon, and spandex for stretch and durability.

They feel soft, comfortable, and totally “normal” – except they've got built-in tick protection.

Fabric composition by color:

White: 73% bamboo, 20% polyester, 5% nylon, 2% spandex

Green: 73% bamboo, 20% polyester, 5% nylon, 2% spandex

Blue: 73% bamboo, 20% polyester, 5% nylon, 2% spandex

Yellow: 65% bamboo, 23% polyester, 10% nylon, 2% spandex

Our bamboo socks are made in China, which has the largest bamboo plantation area in the world.

Once the socks are manufactured, they’re sent to Insect Shield's state-of-the-art facility to bind the permethrin technology to the fabric fibers, then back to our manufacturer to put the finishing touches on.

We absorb all tariff costs so there are no nasty surprises on your end.

No special care or storage required – just treat them like your regular socks.

Do not dry clean. (But who's dry-cleaning socks anyway?!)

The Insect Shield protection is built right into the fabric fibers and lasts through 70 washes, the expected lifetime of the socks. (Up to 5 times longer than permethrin spray).
