To permanently get rid of ticks, the best way to prevent tick-borne illnesses is to avoid ticks altogether or fumigate your house.
Salt can kill tick larvae and eggs, dehydrating them until they fall apart.
You can kill ticks in your house by sprinkling salt over your floor and furniture, applying a layer at night and then vacuuming it in the morning.
Boric acid alone can only kill larvae that are actively feeding and not adult ticks because they only feed on blood.
Bleach contains powerful chemicals that can instantly kill ticks.
Rubbing alcohol can kill ticks for good.
Once you remove the tick, put it in a cup of alcohol and cover it up with a lid to prevent the tick from escaping.
Water and mow your lawn, as ticks flourish in warm, dry environments, which is why they can be found in thick grasses and wooded regions.
Mow the grass outside your house to reduce the number of ticks in your yard that can potentially find a host in you or your pets.

To permanently get rid of ticks, take steps against them by making your lawn and garden less attractive to these pests.
Keep areas free of tall grass, weeds and garden debris — you'll also discourage small rodents, which transport ticks.
Place outdoor play and entertainment areas in sunny, airy spots, away from tick-prone zones.
Most importantly, eliminate existing ticks and create a perimeter of protection around your home with effective tick control treatment.
With Sevin brand products, you can kill and control ticks and dozens of other unwelcome insects, even among favorite fruits and vegetables and landscapes where edibles and ornamentals mix.
Target larvae and nymphs with late spring and early summer applications.
Target adult ticks in late summer and fall.
Always read the product label and make sure it's the right choice for the pest and plant involved.
Used as directed, this product kills ticks above and below the surface.
Then it keeps protecting your lawn and garden up to three months.

To be safe, though, you'll want to remove the tick as soon as possible.
The risk of infection rises 24–48 hours after the tick attaches to the skin.
Use tweezers to grasp the tick firmly at its head or mouth, next to the skin.
Pull firmly and steadily until the tick lets go of the skin.
Do not twist the tick or rock it from side to side.
If part of the tick stays in the skin, don't worry.
It will eventually come out on its own.
Wash your hands and the site of the bite with soap and water.
Swab the bite site with alcohol to disinfect the skin.

To permanently get rid of ticks, stop ticks from biting your pet by using a tick treatment that either kills or repels them if they attach themselves. There are different types of treatments, such as spot-on treatments and tablets. Ask your vet for the best tick treatment. Be careful, never use dog tick medicine on cats or vice versa. Some dog tick treatments contain chemicals that are toxic to cats, and can even be fatal to them. Humans can get ticks too, take precautions when walking your dog and wear long-sleeved tops and trousers to cover your skin. You can also use insect repellent to stop ticks. If you're bitten, use the tick twisting tool to remove the tick. If you're taking your dog on holiday with you, ask your vet about preventative treatments needed to protect your pet from ticks.
