To kill ticks do not Wash down sank. Take the tick in a napkin. Hold the napkin tight and release Tick onto a wooden surface. Take a good match and light it. Take the burning match and fry the tick until it is dead. Wait until Crackles and throw it away in a closed bag or a folded napkin.

also bleach, clorox, rubbing acohol if you have a small cup of it will kill ticks if you drown them in it, just make sure they arent movine then flush it down the toilet

To get rid of a smaller tick you can wedge it out ( before it burrows in) CAREFULLY but if you don't feel you will do it carefully you can get a knife, or other metal cutlery boiling hot. Boil it very hot and be careful with it. Lightly touch the tick with the edge. ( knives work well because they are pointy, and wont hurt you-your pet- around the tick. ) If it doesnt work, try the same again later.

Bigger ticks cant be wedged out, because they have gripped onto the victim, and it will hurt, so the knife thing above is the only way OR---

Take your pet to the vet if your not sure you should do it. It wont cost anything if you do it at home though, so its better if you do it at home. Get it out as soon as you realise it because they suck blood and can infect the same victim with more ticks, and other people.

Do not burn or suffocate a tick. This will cause them to vomit back into your body, and greatly increase the chances of contracting Lyme's disease.

If you snatch them out, there is a chance the head will be left behind in the skin, which will cause an infection.

It is better to get a pair of pointed tweezers, grasp the tick at the point it is contacted with the skin, and pull with slow steady pressure. It can take a minute, but the tick will let go. You can then flush them down the toilet.

If you find ticks around get a cup of Clorox and drop em in there and theyll drown and die in the chemical. if you're talking about on a pet, you should get flea and tick shampoo or flea collars or drops such as frontlineplus.

Ticks climb up plants so that they can cling on to new hosts brushing past. This puts them at eye height for bantams, which find them very tasty. So keep some bantams.

All ticks will feed on humans, it's just that some prefer animals. You have to treat with pesticide outside where they live.
