Deer Ticks...A growing, year-round concern.
When talking to people who have been diagnosed with Lyme or other tick-borne diseases, they'll tell you that they wish they had known how debilitating tick-borne illnesses were and how a combination of education & awareness could have lessened the chances of contracting the diseases in the first place.
There's nothing more important than the health and well being of your family. If you've ever removed a tick from yourself, family member or pet, you know how important it is to have the right tools available immediately, whether at home or on the trail.
Two tick submission vials to safely transport removed ticks to your physician or vet for identification, or to mail to diagnostic labs for pathogen analysis.
Full color tick identification guide.
An assortment of adhesive strips, alcohol and antiseptic wipes.
Durable zippered nylon pouch. Handy for home, glove compartment or back-pack.
Mainely Ticks announces the availability of precision fine pointed tweezers, the same tweezers found in our ProTickMe kit. Made from stainless steel, the micro pointed tips, coupled with the built-in magnifying lens, makes this the BEST tool to safely remove even the smallest tick, splinter or thorn.
In the opened position, the focal point of the magnifying lens and the micro points of the tweezers align to provide you with the ultimate in dexterity and detail.
Experts agree that the prompt and proper removal of an attached tick lessen the chances of acquiring Lyme disease and/or other tick borne illnesses. If you've ever removed a tick from yourself, family member or pet, you'll appreciate the precision and ease of use that these tweezers afford. Consider a pair for your medicine cabinet or backpack.
The ProTickMe tweezers are conveniently packaged in a reusable blister pack for storage, accompanied by a FREE full color tick identification guide. Retail price of only $6.95.
Since 2004, Mainely Ticks has been a leader in promoting tick education and awareness. We have distributed over 55,000 tick identification guides and hosted a number of educational forums and workshops for residents in Southern Maine. Our new ProTickMe initiative extends our educational outreach.
When it comes to tick-borne illnesses, prevention is the best prescription!

Testimonials
As professional educators, the work Bob & Barb do in raising the level of education & awareness of tick-borne illnesses is phenomenal and does a great service to the community at large. Remember, the original meaning of the Latin phrase "Docere" means "Doctor as Teacher". Hence, I personally feel their titles should be Dr. Bob and Barb Maurais!

We've had a Mainely Ticks identification card for years. I can't tell you how many times we've used it to figure out if what was crawling on us was actually a deer tick. I just got the ProTickMe kit and that very afternoon I found what I thought was a tick on my cat. I grabbed the special tweezers with the magnifier and sure enough it was a tick, which I was able to remove easily-and correctly, thanks to the easy to understand tick removal instructions. Many thanks to Mainely Ticks.
