I've had great luck with clear fingernail polish and tweezers. Liberally smear it on the tick and let it sit for about 20 minutes and the tick usually pops right off. Of course you will have to hold your dog to stop it from licking.
Nope. Also not enemied to Faethorn when I checked. I don't really know who started the rumor and I doubt Enadonella at least would suddenly start killing them.
