Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 anther way is use vasaline petrelum jelly .just put a little where the tick is around where the head is under the skin and it would adventualy back out enough to pull it out.Then of couorse throw it into a fire(or you can say burn it)lynn sheer <bigotterwv wrote: " My neice did this 2 days ago while I was next door atr her house and it worked.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 another useful thing is to take any kind liquid soap put about a quarter size amount around and on the tick rub alll around and over then the tick will slide out.Debbie <BeachHunter wrote: For those of you that can have them, guinea hens will rid your property of ticks.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 Vasaline??? Yuk! I'd prefer Tea Tree Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, or Citronella. Works beautifully without the toxicity of the Petroleum.
