Ticks isn't just a catchy tune by Brad Paisley but also a pest everyone tries to avoid during the summer.

K-State Veterinary Entomologist Cassandra Olds says repellents, the type of clothes worn and checking for ticks after coming inside are all great preventive measures.

Olds says there is a proper way to remove ticks.  Olds says if a tick is removed, store it in the freezer for two weeks. This way if there are flu like symptoms within a couple of weeks the tick can be identified and tested.
