Extract of the seeds of the plant Vitex agnus castus proven to be
highly efficacious as a repellent against ticks, fleas, mosquitoes
and biting flies
Abstract
About 70 plant extracts were tested for their ability to repel the attacks of blood-sucking arthropods. It
was found that a CO2 extract of the seeds of the Mediterranean plant Vitex agnus castus (monk’s pepper)
can be used as a spray to keep away especially Ixodes ricinus and Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks from
animals and humans for at least 6 h. In addition mosquitoes, biting flies and fleas are also repelled for
about 6 h.
Extract of the seeds of the plant Vitex agnus castus is available as: Anticks—Trademark of Gimborn,
Emmerich, Germany; Viticks-Cool—Trademark of Alpha-Biocare, Düsseldorf, Germany; ViticksCool-Plus with additional etheric oils—Trademark of Alpha-Biocare, Düsseldorf, Germany
