Ticks are not just annoying (not to mention invasive and, well, enough to make most people’s skin-crawl) but they can actually be dangerous.
Ticks can carry debilitating diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, so it should go without saying that they’re probably not the best house guests for you to be entertaining…
Depending on where you live, the time of year, and whether or not you have pets at home, the chances of you encountering ticks can be fairly high.
So, what to do if and when you do come across one these tiny blights…
Identify and isolate the problem
