You have to be careful with ticks though they can paralyse you if you don't get them off - more of a worry with kids - fortunately (or unfortunately?) that variety only exists in the coastal belt (where most people live). If you have animals you check them after a walk anyway.
Having said that all the years I had dog(s) never had a tick on them but I did lose one to a spider bite.
Years ago one of my dogs got a tick on him in Scotland, an old man fishing saw it and stuck his lighted cigarette on it, took the dog to vets when we got home, he found some more which I'd thought were warts and took them out with tweezers and insisted on showing me what they looked like with me keep edging away and him following, told me never to try and pull them out, in case you left the head in.
Friend in QLD has his house sprayed twice a year Ugh!!! Sends me lovely pics of beasties (double Ugh!!!)
