Tick Removal:

Thanks for sharing this.

They are dirty little blood suckers.  This is great, and I'll try it.  My daughter lives in the country and her long haired dog is covered.

Great information......thanks so much for sharing....I hate those little varmits.....ughhh!  Those and the darn fleas!

Thanks for the suggestion! There are a lot of them where I keep my horse.

Ticks are insane here this year.  I will try this the next time one of the dogs gets a tick on it

this is a good tip. I remember my Granddad light a match, blowing it out and then the hot end on the tick to get it to back out. I would much rather try this soap method..lol

yuck~ticks

Thanks for the tip~I think I'll just stay inside ;)

Rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball will do the trick too. The tick cannot breat so it comes up for air

The last farm I had in Kentucky was completely infested with ticks.  I ended up getting a couple of dozen chickens and they got the population down to almost zero.

One way to keep them (and fleas) off of animals is to add brewer's yeast to their food.  This changes the body chemistry and perspiration and repels these critters.

Thanks for the tip!

Oh thanks for this I live in rural area and you never know when someone you know gets ticked.

That's a nice way, instead of medications.

thanks for the great info!

I have heard of applying vaseline.  They can't breath so they back out of the skin.  Liquid soap is more handy since many of us have it.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip. This year is turning into a bad tick year here in New Hampshire, too.
