- Production Technology
- The design of the Tickless Mini originated from the concept of developing a rechargeable ultrasonic tick repellent for pets, addressing the limitations of the initial version, which relied on disposable batteries. The current form was shaped by the Lithium-ion cell battery, which defined the product’s foundation. The attachment method further refined its innovative design and dimensions by utilizing side tabs.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part in creating the design was to fit all the components into the shell and remain tiny-sized. Its shape was determined by the rechargeable battery and its height by the other parts as transducer, microchip, led light, USB C connector, PCB (Printed Circuit Board), and button. The design of the cover was determined by the transducer, the led light, and the button. We aimed to create a small product that is super light, easy to attach, and stays fixed on pets’ collars and harnesses.
- Research
- During the development of the first Tickless Mini, comprehensive market research was conducted, including secondary research and customer surveys, to evaluate demand for the product. Over time, customer feedback emphasized the necessity for a rechargeable solution suitable for larger dogs and a more robust design. These findings informed the creation of the new Tickless Mini, which addresses these needs while upholding its eco-friendly and chemical-free principles.
- Inspiration
- Since 2010, our brand has pioneered innovative solutions in parasite control. The Tickless Mini represents a breakthrough in creating a safer environment for humans and animals, preventing tick-borne diseases effectively. Redesigned for sustainability, it features a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, enhanced user-friendliness, and exceptional durability. This eco-conscious design embodies high quality and versatility, making it ideal for pets of all sizes.
- Project Duration
- The Tickless Mini project commenced in June 2024 in Budapest and concluded in November 2024. The initial prototype was completed in November 2024. This project focused on redesigning the original Tickless Mini to enhance its customer-friendliness and durability. The latest design combines high quality with a more user-friendly approach, making it suitable not only for small and medium-sized dogs but for all sizes.
- Operation Flow
- The Tickless Mini’s technology is based on ultrasonic waves. The device emits a series of ultrasonic pulses that disturb ticks and fleas; thus it can help keep them away.
