      We have the Lone Star (IIRC) also known as seed ticks here . Little   
   bastards have a mean bite and the irritation lasts for several days . I   
   find a light rap with a small hammer ends their miserable live quite   
   effectively . Playing the flame from a lighter does a good job too - for   
   extra fun hold the lighter on them until they pop .
