Controlling Ticks

What is the best thing to use to get rid of ticks? I found one on my Cocker. I finally removed it, but I don't want to have to remove anymore.

RE: Controlling Ticks

In regards to preventing your lawn from ticks. Ticks like the shade, therefore there are high tick populations in wooded areas. If you are able to keep your dogs on the lawn and away from the ecotone of your property, they will be ok. Ticks cannot survive on grass in the hot sun.

RE: Controlling Ticks

Coat the tick with vaseline and leave alone for 20 min or so. It will suffocate and should be easy to remove with tweezers.
