I have received a number of SOS about ticks infestation the last couple of weeks.

Just one more thing that came to my mind. When you find the ticks on the dog or the surroundings, DO NOT squash it! By doing that especially with those "big fat mama" ones, you inadvertently splash the eggs around.

What you need to do is to drop it into a bottle of soap water. Flash it down the toilet the next day. It should be dead by then. Do note that the ticks are known to be able to crawl out of the toilet bowl after you flush it down, you need to kill it in the soap water first.
