Ticks on lambs

Hi all,

Was late getting my hands on scabbivax this year so done all lambs last Saturday but noticed a lot of them with ticks under their their legs (armpits)

Have any of you seen this before and is there need to put a pour on on them or what.

I would always like to get them off cattle but that would be from a red water avoidance point of view.

Thanks in advance

Had it before for one or two years on a new piece of rented ground. If they were pulled out head attached it was grand but the ones that didn't come out were a source of infection

We blamed the 'roughness' of the grass haven't had any sign of them since. But not sure what got rid of them in the end
