Default Another tick question

I just found a tick not on my puppy but on the couch. It's a size of a sunflower seed which by the way I thought it was some sort of seed and picked it up with my hand. Than I notice its tiny legs moving.

It's barely alive though. After the first tick, I've been trying to be more careful. I just went through his coat with a fine comb but found nothing. I also checked his body for any marks but didn't see anything. He seems his normal self too.

I'll be taking him to the vet tomorrow but has anyone found ticks like this before? I just spent over an hour vacuuming and what not but still feel bit uncomfortable. Any suggestions as to what you can do to "clean" the house? I don't want to use any chemical on the furniture that might be harmful.

I uploaded the pic of the tick. It's not really good pic but can anyone confirm as to what type of tick this is? Thanks!
