Killing an Attached Tick. 1  1. Remove the ticks. If the tick is fastened to a person or a pet, detach it first. 2  2. Wrap the tick tightly in tape. Cover the tick with transparent tape on all sides. 3  3. Kill with rubbing alcohol. If you do not have tape, drop the tick into a container full of alcohol.  4. Wash your hands and the bite area.
Most tick bites cause only minor injury. But some ticks may transmit bacteria that cause illnesses, such as Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Remove the tick promptly and carefully. Use tweezers to grasp the tick near its head or mouth and pull gently to remove the whole tick without crushing it. Other methods â such as applying petroleum jelly, fingernail polish, rubbing alcohol or a hot match â aren't recommended.
