Ticks...

Nasty little critters arent they?
Well there is a natural way to deal with these too! Are you familiar with Tea Tree Oil? Once you have smelled it you will never forget the smell! If your pet (or family cow!) has a tick embedded in it, all you need to do is put one drop of Tea Tree Essential Oil on it...the tick will pull out its head and you can thunk it away~or deal with it however you choose! When you read about this online folks say the tick will pull out its head and 'drop off'...well we dont see them drop off but they are easy enough to flick off and stomp on once they pull out their head!
  Now that you have the tick out and off, and have meted out justice to it...the next thing to do is to keep them away. Research online indicates that healthy people/animals will not be bothered by ticks...hmmm...well anyways the next best thing to do it use a natural yet effective fly/tick repellent.
  We have a great natural fly spray recipe but we found that we need to add the additional repelling properties to keep away ticks so we have added to it. That is a post for another day though:)
  Additional note; I just heard from Linda, whom I call my 'Essential Oils' gal:) I told her about the Tea Tree oil for ticks and this is what she said;
  Hi Dana,

Thanks for the tick tip - we've found that any EO we've had on hand worked to get the tick to back out - just too much for the little guy! Tea Tree is a good choice because it doesn't burn the skin (like oregano) and is also good for wounds and sores.

Thanks!

Linda
