With cities ranging from the northern tropics to the central deserts and chilly southern shores, Australia is such a vast mainland that it would be impossible to see the entire country and experience all it has to offer, in a single trip.

Kill Ticks on Dogs. A pesticide product that kills ticks is known as an acaricide. Acaricides that can be used on dogs include dusts, impregnated collars, sprays, or topical treatments. Some acaricides kill the tick on contact. Others may be absorbed into the bloodstream of a dog and kill ticks that attach and feed.
Ticks not only can cause swelling at the site, but can carry diseases. Exercise great care when removing a tick. If you are squeamish, spray the ticks directly with a dog approved tick spray and let the tick die before removal. Using tweezers or a tick scoop, grasp the tick by the head and pull straight up.
