Imports and Ticks

Anyone have any secrets on how to kill ticks on an imported ball other then picking them off?

Thanks Tom

Works on Mites may also work on ticks. Get a bottle of NIX at walmart. It's used for human lice. Pour into a 1gal water container. Fill with water. Shake good. Spray everything: Cage, animal, everything! Repeat till no more ticks. Never failed me!

You could also look at Natural Chemistry Reptile Relief. I had pretty good results with it. Also make sure you quarantine the sanke if you own others. And I would stop bying imports. It's just a bad way to go.

I did not buy it myself, someone did not then did not want it because it had ticks. They were going to release it in NJ. So I had to take it.

I have the exact same thing going on myself. That's how I know imports are problems and that Natural Chemistry was decent on the ticks. I'm actually in Jersey myself.
