Okay so where can I grow something that won't be full of ticks?
Basically, how can we, as humans, use our propensity for destroying entire species, but do it for the power of good, on purpose so we can eliminate ALL TICKS FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH‽
Maybe we can breed super mosquitos to eat the ticks or something

Violence isn't the answer. It's a question, and the answer is "yes".
Choosing to get rid of the ticks is already choosing violence.
Get a colony of fire ants and then feed them meth and hgc
You foster a family of possums at the same time.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Possums don’t eat ticks.

You don't.
Instead, you always have a roving band of chickens following you to eat them.
