I really love those tiny buggers although they can be annoying at times. But usually I just mess with them and sidestep their jump attack.
Adding tasers to their attack makes this a lot of fun especially during the nightly hours.
Thank you for adding this 
And now do it like me, just take the flamethrower against them. Most effective 
Nooooo, get a bat and wait for them to jump … its just so satisfying when the timing is right!
I usually just shoot a flare arrow into a tank and watch the ticks try to kill it
Doesn’t the tanks stomp attack destroys the ticks? With a flarearrow or sticky flare at it it should try to attack “itself”.
