Tick Key is the easiest-to-use tick remover on earth:

This design has been perfect and tested for over eight years and is responsible for the removal of thousands of ticks of all sizes including deer ticks and dog ticks.

Tick Key is fabricated from high-strength anodized aluminum in Connecticut, USA.

Tick Key is flat and is easily stored in a wallet, pocket, attached to a key chain, collar, saddle or leash.

TICK KEY is the only tick removal device on the planet that uses natural forward leverage to remove the entire tick, head and all, quickly and safetly without touching or squishing even the toughest engorged ticks. Tick key is 99.9% effective on the safe removal of all sizes and types of ticks from people and pets.

Don't remove ticks with your fingers. In many cases a tick is likely to be carrying pathogens such as lyme disease, ehrlichiosis and others that are harmful to humans and pets. Tick saliva or blood is something you don't want on your skin. Pulling on a tick, even with tweezers, can tear the mouth parts from the body of the tick and leave embedded parts in the host.

This can force spirochete and other infectious body fluids through the mouth parts of the tick into the host.

Applying any substances, such as petroleum jelly, fingernail polish remover, repellents, or a lighted match that upset or harm the tick almost always cause the tick to vomit the contents of its stomach back into the host. No matter how badly a tick may want to remove itself, it is not capable of doing so quickly. Ticks can live without air for long periods: attempts to smother it allow disease transmission for hours.
