EM Tick Collars - A natural tick repellent for your dogs. EM-Ceramic beads contain microorganisms (EM®) that disrupt flea and tick receptors, making it difficult for them to sense your pets. Mechanism: EM-ceramic beads, created by fermenting clay with microbes (bacteria, yeast, fungi) and baking them at high temperatures, emit beneficial infrared waves that improve circulation and create an unfavorable environment for ticks. Effectiveness: They are a natural, non-toxic alternative, but they are not 100% guaranteed and are recommended as a complementary, rather than primary, defense during high-risk seasons. Usage & Maintenance: Activation: Soak the collar in water for 15-20 minutes and let it air dry in the sun once a month to "activate" the beads. Wear: The collar should be worn almost constantly to be effective, typically taking up to 4 weeks to build up full protection. Cleaning: Rinse with water only; avoid soaps or detergents, which can damage the ceramic properties. Made with EM- Ceramic beads, 12mm colourful silicone beads and a strong paracord with a black plastic adjuster to get that perfect fit Waterproof Cute and stylish Replace your EM Collar every 10 - 12 months preferably before tick season starts up More about EM Collars Mechanism: EM-ceramic beads, created by fermenting clay with microbes (bacteria, yeast, fungi) and baking them at high temperatures, emit beneficial infrared waves that improve circulation and create an unfavorable environment for ticks.
