Easy, fast and efficient, right?

No more ticks squatting in your cat's ears!

The important thing when removing a tick naturally is not to make it regurgitate.

Why ? Because that's where she transmits her diseases.

This is why we avoid suffocating it with products such as ether or oil.

There are special tweezers to take the tick well at the base and remove it.

If you're not used to getting it, I recommend it.

Because it avoids pressing on the tick's belly and making it regurgitate.

Recommendations

If you live in a tick-prone area, never go out without spraying tick repellent on your clothes and pets.

It is an easy to make natural product. Discover the recipe here.

After each walk or long stay in the garden, examine your animals to see if a tick has bitten.

Why does it work?

The tweezers allow you to grasp the tick well without pressing on its belly.

It's very practical, especially when you're not used to removing any.

And this avoids pressing on its abdomen, which causes it to regurgitate into its victim.

Alcohol at 70° can also disinfect the wound once the tick has been removed.
