RE: Random Survival Tip# 3- We Don't Need No Stinking Ticks
I used to live in Pennsylvania and I've been lucky enough to pull a couple off before they decided to dig into my skin. But i bought this fairly cheap spray for the lawn that kept them away after that. I'm not sure if it is pet friendly though. We didn't have any animals at the time.
I've only ever had problems with them actually attaching themselves on the dogs. I even woke up one night from a dead sleep with one pinched between my thumb and forefinger (I have no idea how I did that).
There's a product out called a tick twister (not to be confused with a titty-twister) that does a pretty good job taking them off the dogs once they've actually latched on.
I've seen something similar to that at wal mart. I think it was like a tick hook or something. I'll look into it more. as for the pinching of the tick.... it must have been the ninja intuition. lol.
