A manual reach device (10) for removing ticks that are fixed on the skin of an animal or human host comprising: a. an external housing (12, 112, 212) having a front proximal end (14) and a rear distal end (16) oriented along a longitudinal axis (15), b. a tick encapsulation zone (30) defined by a fixed part of the front end (14) of the housing (12, 112, 212), and a lid section that can be opened and closed (20) capable of moving from an open position to a closed position to create a closed enclosure (30) inside the front end (14) of the housing (12, 112, 212), the cover part (20) that is able to close around the tick ( 1) while the tick (1) is attached to the skin of the host, the lid (20) further comprising a button (26) for pivotally pushing and opening the lid and a spring mechanism (27) that provides resistance enough to keep the lid (20) in a closed position unless the lid button (26) is pressed, c. a piezoelectric crystal voltage generating device (60) located inside the housing (12, 112, 212), d. a knocker that hits the piezoelectric crystal (60) to generate a high voltage, e. two conductive cables (64a, 64b) of the piezoelectric crystal (60) having their distal ends exposed to create two electrode tips (66a, 66b) mounted within the tick encapsulation zone (30) in spaced relationship (66c) close to the first end of the housing (12f), and f. a firing mechanism (50) oriented around a tangential axis to the longitudinal axis (54) of the housing (12, 112, 212), which triggers the piezoelectric device (60) with the striker and sends a high voltage through the conductive cables (64a, 64b) and through the electrode space (66c) to electrocute the tick, the distal trigger that is located distal to the lid section (20), the electrocuted claw that emerges from the host's skin and falls into the closed encapsulation zone of the device.Un dispositivo de alcance manual (10) para eliminar garrapatas que están fijas en la piel de un hospedador animal o humano que comprende:
