How do you get rid of tics in your house after your friends dog was here?

Avoid the temptation to do something, meaning spray insecticides. Your risk of ticks in your house is very low.Even if your friend's dog had ticks on it, those ticks are actively trying to bite and latch onto the dog in order to feed. Assuming that somehow some tick or two fell off of the dog and are on your floor, the likelihood is that it will die on its own or be sucked up next time you vacuum. If you should see a tick, simply kill (squash) it or flush it Avoid the temptation to do something, meaning spray insecticides.
