The NEW Tick Socks Are Almost Here! We’ve been hinting at this one for a while… and it’s finally time. They are officially arriving March 31st.
Why We Started at the Bottom
If you’ve ever dealt with ticks, you already know that most of the time, they start low. Grass, brush, garden beds, trails, that’s where the problem begins. And from there, they work their way up.
So We Built Something Simple
We didn’t want to overcomplicate this. We wanted something you could throw on quickly and wear with what you already own.
No insecticides.
No constant reapplication.
Reusable.
Just a simple barrier where it matters most. These ticks socks offer a lightweight, breathable layer designed to cover the area where ticks are most likely to latch on. They’re easy to slip on with a pair of shorts while still keeping it breathable.
What They Help Block
These aren’t just for ticks, although we thought they'd be most helpful there! The ShrugBug signature mesh is designed to act as a physical barrier against:
- Ticks (including those tiny nymph stages that are easy to miss)
- No-see-ums
- Black flies
- And mosquitoes
Instead of relying on sprays or treatments, this is about creating space between your skin and whatever is trying to get to it.
Who These Are For
If you:
- Walk through tall grass
- Spend time on trails
- Live in a tick-heavy region
- Or just want a little more peace of mind
These are for you! They’re especially helpful for those “quick outside” moments that turn into longer ones. You know the ones.
How to Wear Them
There’s no complicated system here, but a few small details make them work even better.
- Start with your regular socks
- Pull the tick socks on over them
- Pull your shoes on over the tick socks
- Pull the socks to your preferred height and cinch and lock them in place
If you keep them at knee height, the fabric naturally creates some bumpy obstacles that makes it harder for ticks to move upward. If you pull them higher, you get more continuous coverage. Either way, you’re making their job a lot harder. The white mesh makes it easier to see the little buggers too!
Why We Think You'll Love Them
- Priced at $24.99
- Machine washable and reusable
- Lightweight and easy to pack
And they’re ready to show up in all kinds of real-life moments:
- Horseback riding
- On the riding lawnmower
- Fishing
- Quick walks that turn into longer ones
Once you have them, you'll start reaching for them more than you expected.
