@rscottjones I haven't had to use a tick remover tool on humans much, but with the dogs, I have *never* been able to use that two-pronged style one effectively. I know it's supposedly easy, but for me, all I have ever managed has been to push the tick out of the way.Personally, I'm a big fan of the lasso pen type. Easy to get in between the tick's head and the skin or fur, couple of turns and the tick generally comes out easily without leaving much behind or pulling too much else along.
