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

Answer 2

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.
