paulus 26 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 you dont need any thing but your finger to remove ticks, just put your finger on top off the tick and rotate ANTI CLOCK wise for 1 minuet the ticks just fall off, wont work if you go clock wise, its worked every time for me 4 turns and its off but fecking tingles when removing them from yourself as i have to every fecking week. bugger the shop bought stuff. ive some stuff that knocks them,fleas and mites but not saying what on a public forum. did will give it you Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Amazing that folk still treat ticks the way they do. http://www.thehuntin...rets-and-ticks/ Buy the correct tool they are only a coupla quid. I just took over 50 from 2 dogs in the one day. No way could they be pulled without the otom, they were tiny, and trying some of the shit that folk spout on here would have risked infection to the dog. 2 Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 If you are going to start putting stuff on them and squeezing them so they spew there content's into you or your dog you would be better of leaving them till they have had there fill and let them drop of themself's..

doge77 51 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just pulled a tick from harps lug, didn't have that tool that's on the vid so I did the straight pull version that's on loads of vids on YouTube but you need very fine tweezers not to crush the body and to avoid contamination as much as possible and yes bob it was a tick and no a sitcky willy this time lol.

Ossie n Arch 1,683 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Why mess about when ticks are involved, for the price of a pint you can get the correct tool. 1 Quote Link to post
