Anyone here do any hiking/camping around here? If so, you've probably ran into a tick (well at least in Missouri they are rampant). This is an awesome idea & quite simple.

That looks much easier than using fire.

I've tried fire before. Doesn't really work. When I hold it too close, it kills the tick (while still in there), when I hold it too far away, the tick just wiggles a bit. Even after 5 minutes no go. Vaseline doesn't work the way it should either. Maybe I just get some stubborn ones.

you have to coat them in Vaseline so they cant breath. thats why they come out.
