acaracide

Agricultural Chemicals--Book I: Insecticides, Acaracides and Ovicides.

Acaracides containing permethrin kill ticks on contact and can provide further protection when applied to clothing, but are not approved for use on skin.

These measures include avoidance of sites suspected to be infested with ticks; use of repellents and acaracides, wearing of protective clothing, and frequent inspection for and prompt removal of attached ticks.
