I am thinking of starting one of my labs off tracking deer
I have access to deer skins / feet etc which i would use ( often with a high tick burden)
Do you know if putting them in the freezer will kill the ticks.
I dont want to bring them back home if i cant kill them.

Regards

No -30 and they will come back to life. How do you think they survive the winter never mind the ice age.
 
I read once some American put ticks in a freezer for a year and they lived... I get them on my dogs 12 months with no month being tick free. They come into the UK on the legs of geese and on woodcock leaving cold climates so the winters here doesn't kill them.
