Ticks, and how to prevent them.
>be me
>go hiking with dog
Dog has preventative measures such as tick control necklace, and is washed every week.
>come back full of ticks
>take shower, shower dog
Now every day for the past month I've been encountering these fuckers at home. I've cleaned, fumigated, washed my clothes. Yet they keep coming.

Did you check your anal cavity?
wash body with vinegar, also clean the rags & bedding with vinegar. Keep the windows open & rooms cold.
If that doesn't help or you don't trust in vinegar, then buy an insect-fogger.
Had flees in my room & only this with couple of traps could get rid of them.
Remember that you'll then have to stay out of the room(s) you fogged and keep the window's open for atleast 6h. Considering anons and his' dogs health, I would even leave them open for a bit longer.

Burn your house down with everything you own in it.
It's the only way to be sure.

Did you really just call a dog collar a necklace?
OP, please start using Frontline on your dog and
permethrin on your clothes.

I don't know if it actually works, but it could.

Ticks love to hide in cracks in exposed wood. That is what the fuckers do, they sit and wait, sometimes for a very long time and they love any kind of plant matter dead or alive. Hit any wood in your house with a good coat of furniture polish or lacquer if you want. Should kill the fuckers. If you have a wooden porch then hit that too. Had the same problem at my grandparents house once.

To this day I have a (small) weird itchy lump on my scrotum
Fucker was probably a homo tick

Put the dog necklace around your dick and balls.

sure you got it all?
I've had loads of ticks, on two occasions part of it has remained inside (locking mandible apparently) and so I had to get it cut out at the hospital.

What breed is your dog? Not all dogs can handle weekly washing, some have oils on their skin and fur like most hounds that keep them healthy, and washing them too much dries out their skin
