The best thing is to keep your grass cut short, don’t let it get to tall and be sure to use a bag while cutting the grass so ticks don’t hide under the mounds of grass lying across your lawn. Also be sure to have shoes and socks on while cutting the grass and inspect your legs after to insure you don’t have any ticks. Its important to take care of your yard especially if you have kids or animals. No one wants lime disease it can be nasty to recover.

You can use tweezers or tick removal tools to pull the tick off from the top. To kill it, I put mine in a bag with rubbing alcohol, seal it, and throw it away, but you can also just squish it. For dogs, check their paw pads; I saw a picture of ticks between a dog’s pads, and it was gross.
