Reliable protection against mosquitoes & ticks since 1948

The story begins in the 1940s when a clever chemist at Ciba-Geigy (today known as Novartis) decided to develop the first insect repellent in Switzerland. The marketing and sales department were so enthusiastic about the invention that they decided to launch the product under the catchy name kik (kick the mosquitoes away). Soon after, kik became a loyal companion that protects the whole family from mosquitoes during the summer in Switzerland.

Today, kik is still being produced in Switzerland and offers the most comprehensive assortment on the market. In addition to the new kik TROPICAL with the well-known active ingredient DEET, effective products based on lemon eucalyptus leaves for protection against mosquitoes and ticks are also offered under the kik NATURE brand. The kik NATURE tick repellent was even voted Kassensturz test winner in 2015. The range is rounded off with various innovative products for the aftercare of insect bites. kik is the Swiss travel companion for you and your family.
