A hand tool for removing ticks from the skin of a live animal. The tool includes two elongated arms having free ends shaped as hollow cup elements. When the two arms are squeezed toward each other the two cup elements cooperatively encircle the body of a tick protruding from the animal surface. Electrical heater elements within the cup elements apply heat to the tick body, causing the tick to loosen its hold on the animal skin. The tool can then be moved to lift the tick away from the animal skin surface.
