If you think the idea of dealing with fleas while contending with the coldness of winter is disturbing, get ready. Ticks are about five times nastier, and you also have to keep them at bay during winter. If you think about it, the cold is a good motivation for them to stick to their host.
Where else are they going to get that unlimited supply of blood? Sure, they can live on plants or in your garage. But they can also thrive in your living room. And since your pet can't go out because of the weather, those ticks are quick to target your fur-baby.
Stock up on tick-removing solutions. If you're going through a hard time money-wise, you can physically remove the ticks using a tweezer. Don't just let them go after pulling them out. Drop them in a small jar containing alcohol to ensure they don't come crawling back.
Keeping your things well-organized will make cleaning so much easier. If you can reach all of the corners of your house, you have a better chance of removing any tick that might be lingering around.
