These go everywhere with me. Truck, luggage, pack, home, etc.

Fast, painless, holds the tick in the scoop, and works great on dogs too.

I told our vet about them, and they now use them too.

What's your experience, tripping balls? Crap cannon?

LoL! We use it when we get sick. Seems to shorten duration of cold. Or it makes the cold not seem so bad - or both.

It burns.

After dealing with the aftermath of removing one with my pecker pampers I use a tick key now.

If you know a Doctor Doxycycline is not bad to start taking if your got a nasty tick bite… quicker the better.

I actually had a tick on the rim of my eyelid once. I did not check myself and went to sleep and woke up to a surprise!

Given the location I went with an ice cube on the tick and after a few minutes I was able to pull him out. Crazy place to have a tick.

That sounds like a nightmare!

Truth. Erhlichiosis put me down hard; the worst headaches, fever and night sweats I ever had. A couple days on doxy and it was like I was never sick at all.

I hate ticks. Pulled 4 lone stars off me this afternoon before they could latch on.

 

[Cant hit em]

Put peanut butter over them
And they’ll suffocate then tweezer em out

Yea-it is not an experience I would recommend.

Trying to suffocate ticks using petroleum jelly and the like is a good way to get an infection or catch a disease.

I have a couple of those tick keys, so far they've been a bust, unless the tick is large, if it's a small tick they don't work. Oregano oil seems to work much better.

Putting any substance on a tick can cause it to expel its contents into you. Greatly increasing the odds of catching something the tick might be carrying. Just pull it off.

And if you can't take tick advice from someone who goes by the name tick,well........

Ya'll got my skin crawling... After 3 years of moderate drought and not seeing any ticks during the spring, the return to normal+ moisture had them out in droves in my yard. Dogs were bringing them in every time they went out, and you just couldn't move around at all without having a couple on you. Fortunately, our ticks are all pickers too.

Why isn't there a pill that people can take to kill them like dogs? If there was a 30 day solution like Nexgard for people I'd sign up!

If your dogs are staying in the yard and still picking that many up, I'd give the yard a spray. I spray mine twice a year and it seems to work pretty well. I also use the same concentrate to mix and spray my hunting clothes.

Interesting stuff. We mow about 2.5-3 acres and I saw in the comments they don't recommend this for broadcast spraying to control mosquitos. What rate do you use to mix for your yard?
