Rub the tick in a circular motion and pretend you're trying to make the tick dizzy. I generally stick with one direction, clockwise. It usually takes less than a minute, so if it's not working, make sure the body of the tick is moving around. I doubt the tick actually gets dizzy, but they sure don't like something about the movement and they crawl out on their own. The only troubles I have had with this technique, is when you catch the tick early in it's attaching process. If it won't come off, I will usually wait another day instead of risking leaving part of the tick behind in my dog.

Because ticks live off their sense of smell, and they evidently do not like the scent of rose geranium, this essential oil works wonders to keep ticks away from you and your dog while being all natural. Rose geranium is one of the most popular essential oils for repelling ticks. Lavender, citronella, eucalyptus, and lemongrass are also used in the same way. Citrus is a natural repellent for many insects. Citrus works against ticks too. Lemon juice can also be added to a spray bottle with witch hazel to ward off ticks as well. Apple cider vinegar is an easy-to-use natural tick repellant. Apple cider vinegar can also be mixed with water to make a tick repellant spray.
