Great idea. Ticks, like a lot of insects breath through spiracles (valve like openings in their thorax). A ticks just happens to be between his legs. That's why he can breath with his head buried. Anyway, Use anything that will cut off the air (dish soap, vaseline, even lard) and they will back out everytime. Never tried the cottonball trick though. Should be able to try it out this weekend.
