The Fourth Layer of Tick Protection Your Pediatrician Hasn't Told You About Yet.
- ✓ Clip it on once — works all day. No spray, no smell, no reapplication.
- ✓ Disrupts the tick's Haller's organ — the sensor it uses to find you.
- ✓ Layers with your existing defense — permethrin, picaridin, and tick checks you already trust.
- ✓ Safe for kids, pregnant women, dogs, cats — and the people who love them.
- ✓ 2–4 days runtime per charge — USB-C. No refills, ever.
- ✓ Built for the Lone Star tick expansion — not the 1998 playbook.
The rules of tick protection your mom taught you were written for a tick that no longer exists.
For 40 years, American tick advice was built around one species — the slow, passive, ambush-style deer tick. Tucked socks. End-of-day check. Done. But the Lone Star tick — an aggressive hunter that actively pursues the CO₂ you exhale — is now established in Connecticut, Michigan, Wisconsin, and states it wasn't in 15 years ago. You're not failing. You're using an old playbook on a new tick.
PULSE disrupts the one organ ticks use to find you — without a single chemical on your kid's skin.
Ticks navigate the world through a sensor on their front legs called Haller's organ. It reads CO₂, vibration, heat, and a narrow band of ambient frequencies — and it's how they decide your child is worth biting. PULSE emits a continuous ultrasonic pulse (9–21 kHz, completely inaudible to humans and pets) that turns that sensor into static. The tick disengages. It looks elsewhere. No spray. No smell. No reapplication.
Designed in Connecticut by a dad whose daughter got alpha-gal from a tick he thought he caught.
Daniel Reeves is an industrial designer. He has two daughters and a golden retriever named Otto. When his six-year-old developed a permanent, lifelong allergy to red meat from a single tick bite the family thought they'd handled, he spent 18 months and 47 prototypes building the layer his family had been missing. PULSE isn't a startup pitch. It's a parent's answer.
Why PULSE Wins
Benefit by Benefit
Inaudible to Humans, Dogs, and Cats
Operates in a frequency band outside the audible hearing range of your family — including the dog. Clip it on the harness, on the backpack, on the kid's belt loop, and forget it's there.
Zero Chemicals on Skin
No DEET. No permethrin. No picaridin. No essential oils. Safe to use around pregnant women, infants over 6 months, and immunocompromised family members — the groups who can't safely use most sprays.
2–4 Days Runtime, USB-C Charging
A single 1–2 hour charge runs for a full weekend trip. Charges on the same cable as your phone. No proprietary adapters, no refills, no consumables. Ever.
Designed to Layer, Not Replace
PULSE was built to work with the permethrin on the hunting pants, the picaridin on the soccer ankles, and the bedtime tick check — not instead of them. The CDC says no single defense is 100%. This is the modern layer.
Real experiences. Real results.
"It quieted the part of my brain that never shuts off."
I spray, I treat the yard, I do the bedtime comb — and I was still finding them. Clipped one on each kid's backpack the first week of September. I'm not saying I've stopped checking. I'm saying I stopped white-knuckling it. That alone is worth it.
"Permethrin on my pants, PULSE on my pack."
Bowhunting in October. I had permethrin on the clothes like always. Added PULSE on the strap of my pack. Came out of an all-day sit with zero ticks for the first season I can remember. Layer it. Don't replace anything.
"My daughter won't wear treated clothing. This was the answer."
Vivi-aged kid here who refuses Insect Shield because it "itches." PULSE clips on her overall strap and she forgets it exists. That's the whole game with a six-year-old.
"Killed my first whitetail of the season covered in ticks. Not me, this year."
46 years of hunting up here. The numbers have gotten insane. Two PULSE on the pack, one on the dog harness. Different season this year. That's all I'll say.
"I grew up here. I know what this turns into."
My grandmother lived four miles from where the disease was named. I have spent my entire adult life refusing to be relaxed about this. PULSE is the first product I've bought in 15 years that didn't feel like theater.
"The dog stopped bringing them in the house."
Goldendoodle. Big backyard with a creek. We were pulling 2–3 off him a week through September. Carabiner'd PULSE to his harness. Pulled one off him in the last month. One.
