Does ultrasonic actually work on ticks? +

TAMIOH PULSE™ emits a precisely calibrated ultrasonic frequency that is imperceptible to humans and pets but highly disruptive to ticks and other parasitic pests. The ultrasonic waves interfere with the tick's sensory organs, creating an invisible barrier that repels them before they can latch on. Simply turn on the device and enjoy tick-free outdoor time — no sprays, no chemicals, no mess.

Is it safe for pets, kids, and pregnant women? +

Absolutely. TAMIOH PULSE™ uses ultrasonic technology that operates at a frequency completely outside the hearing range of humans, dogs, and cats. There are zero chemicals, zero toxins, and zero DEET involved. It's the safest tick prevention method available — pediatrician and veterinarian approved. You can clip it on your child's backpack or your dog's collar with total peace of mind.

How does pulse compare to sprays and chemical collars? +

Chemical sprays contain DEET, permethrin, or other pesticides that are absorbed through the skin and can cause irritation, allergic reactions, or long-term health concerns — especially in children. Tick collars use similar chemicals that rub off on furniture and bedding. PULSE™ uses zero chemicals. It repels ticks through sound waves, not poisons. It's reusable (no monthly purchases), waterproof, and works immediately — no waiting 24 hours for chemicals to spread across the skin.

What is the effective range? +

TAMIOH PULSE™ provides a protective radius of approximately 10 feet (3 meters) in all directions from the device. This creates a personal tick-free zone around you, your children, or your pets. For larger areas like campsites, many families use two or more devices to extend the coverage zone. One unit is typically enough for individual outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, or dog walking.

How long does the battery last? +

TAMIOH PULSE™ features a long-lasting rechargeable battery that provides up to 120 hours of continuous protection on a single charge. That means weeks of daily outdoor use before you need to plug it in. Recharging takes approximately 2 hours via the included USB-C cable. A low-battery indicator light lets you know when it's time to recharge.

Does it work on other pests besides ticks? +

While TAMIOH PULSE™ is specifically tuned and optimized for tick repulsion, many customers report it also helps deter fleas, mosquitoes, and other small parasitic insects. The ultrasonic frequency disrupts the sensory navigation of multiple pest species. However, our primary engineering focus and testing has been on tick prevention, where it delivers the strongest, most reliable results.
