Tick Socks has launched a new approach to tick prevention by combining everyday footwear with built-in protection designed for both children and adults.
Based in Lakewood, New Jersey, the company offers breathable socks treated with Insect Shield® technology, which uses a permethrin-based solution bonded to fabric fibers to provide long-lasting tick protection. The socks are designed to maintain effectiveness through up to 70 washes, creating a convenient alternative to traditional tick prevention methods.
The launch comes as concerns continue to grow around tick-related health risks in the United States, including illnesses such as Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Powassan virus. Since ticks often attach near the lower legs before moving toward exposed skin, Tick Socks aim to provide protection at one of the most common entry points.
Unlike sprays, topical repellents, or additional protective gear that require frequent use and maintenance, Tick Socks are designed as a simple daily solution that fits into normal routines. The company focuses on making tick prevention easier for families by incorporating protection into an item people already wear.
Available in sizes for children and adults, Tick Socks combine protective features with colorful designs, including outdoor-inspired patterns and playful styles. The socks are offered in customizable packs through the company’s online store.
Tick Socks is focused on developing practical solutions that help people reduce exposure to ticks while enjoying outdoor activities with added protection.
