The Trix is now my tick remover of choice, being one-handed in operation and more positive than either the O'Tom or tweezers. I'm leaving all three on the website since cost may affect other users' choice or availability.

I had heard about the Trix and how efficient it was, which was why I was so eager to try it once it was available in the UK. I have only had two ticks to try it out on so far, one was quite swollen and very easy to remove but the next one I found had only just attached and was tiny but the Trix removed it just as easily and cleanly. I have found it much easier to use than the hooks I obtained from the Vet and can highly recommend it. Yours sincerely Mrs S, Norfolk

On a country walk there are few things dogs enjoy more than looking into rabbit holes. And most owners know what can come shortly after that – ticks and fleas, writes Kerry Williamson, Managing Director of Dog World, Britain's best selling canine newspaper.
Successfully removing a tick without leaving the head still buried in the skin, and which may be a possible source of infection, can be a real worry. Then, on a trip to Sweden to judge Tibetan Spaniels, I discovered a fantastic tick removing device that looks like a ball point pen. Except when you press it, instead of the ball point, a tiny nylon lasso pops out. The lasso tightens around the tick’s neck when the pen top is released. When the pen is turned anti-clockwise, out comes the tick - still intact and unable to escape. I have never taken a tick out this way and ‘lost’ the head.
As is so often the case, the best ideas are often the simplest. I couldn’t recommend this product more highly and, what's more, it is now available in the UK from Miso Trading. This is a highly effective and inexpensive solution to a problem I used to dread.

I was looking for a tick remover for use on both humans and animals, purchasing the trix tick remover proved beyond all shadow of doubt to be the correct choice.
At a recent cub scout camp it proved both invaluable and efficient in removing even the tinniest of ticks, and easy to use, and I would most certainly recommend the trix tick remover to anyone.

I used it in anger last week! It's one of those things you buy not wanting to have to use, but really glad you did when the time comes. With publicity in the Mountain Biking community over the increase in ticks with a mild winter & wet summer and the increase in Lyme’s Disease carried by some ticks, I thought it wise to get a remover. I wanted to be able to remove cleanly, as incorrect removal could cause fluid transfer from an infected tick back to host.
Anyway, after a walk near my holiday cottage, I returned noticing an itch in my shin. Closer inspection revealed a small tick. I used the Trix and got it out first time, no problems or irritation. What sold me on the Trix was the compact size and adjustability meaning that one device can do large and small ticks as well as awkward sites. It now lives in my first aid kit I carry on walks & biking.

With Deer on my land, the dogs, livestock, and, unfortunately, myself, occasionally have need of a little removal. The Trix Tick remover sits handily in my pocket like a biro, and is so simple to use, even on the smallest tick. One looped around, the tick is properly gripped, even if the animal moves unexpectedly. One simple turn, and the tick is off. Yes, there are preventative chemicals and I do use them, but sometimes the ticks attach and die, locked onto the animal, and the Trix Tick remover simply gets the job done, cleanly, and quickly.
Regards
Julian Pearson
