Get rid of ticks

4595  When I was out hiking and came back to my house I brought in ticks. How do I get them out of my house?

Make sure your pets do not have ticks and keep them away from outdoor potential tick infested areas. Consider bathing pets with a flea and tick shampoo.
Vacuum 100% of your home to remove any adult ticks and their eggs. Do this frequently, every day for a few weeks.
You may be wise to have a pest professional spray an insecticide with an insect grown inhibitor. Be aware that killing all the adult ticks may not get rid of the eggs so repeating the process in 2 weeks may be necessary.
