Kay 3,709 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 whats the best way to get rid of ticks off? (iv been told to use nail varnish remover?) get a tick picker .... dont cover them in anything like vaseline or try & burn them off as they regurgitate the contents of there stomaches back into the host & if there infected with one of the diseases they carry .. ten its likely the host becomes infected including humans :thumbs: Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,935 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Get an Autom or similar Tick Remover. DO NOT USE vaseline tweezers nail clippers Fags hairspray glue paint voodoo bow and arrow or any other shit idea that some of the nutters on here come up with. If the tick was on your child,,what would you do !!!! get a proper tick remover and use that Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Frontline spray on some rubber gloves and then massaged into the skin (avoiding eyes) is a good solution when you have a load of ticks and its a hassle trying to pull them off with the removers. Quote Link to post

robbo 828 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 pure alcohol painted onto them with a small brush is a cheap option if you only have a couple on them. Quote Link to post
