Always check for remaining parts.
My comment was referring more to the scraping and burning methods than the drop of oil. (Our vet does not recommend the oil method either though)
Who the hell tries to scrape a tick off??
If you pull about thirty ticks of off a dog in one go, you get pretty good at the traditional method....
Not tick related... ;), random
