Bringing it down

Tip from the codex

The bane of anyone who values their face-adjacent personal space, the Tick is a small, spider-like machine that leaps at Raiders, munching away at whatever exposed skin it can find. It is predominantly found indoors, crawling on walls and ceilings.

From the codex

The Tick is a relentless, parasitic creature that often attacks in small groups. While individual Ticks can be easily swatted off, hordes of them are another matter entirely.

The Tick's speculated purpose is to drive humans away from areas being probed for resources; acting as a contamination agent to create exclusion zones. Fortunately, Ticks emit a distinct sound when activated making their presence known.

Lance used to collect destroyed Ticks "because they are cute", hanging them from rafters and as ornaments in plants. He was talked out of this habit when children refused to enter his clinic.
