How to get rid of ticks in the country: effective tips

With the onset of heat, many insects become more active, including dangerous species. In particular, ticks can grow on cottages, gardens, and lawns.

These insects can cause a lot of trouble. However, experienced summer residents have their own tips for dealing with ticks that will help get rid of "uninvited guests".

To combat ticks, first of all, you need to put the land in order. This is when cleaning fallen leaves, last year's grass, and other vegetation where these insects can live. In addition, it is worth uprooting shrubs during the warm period.

Insecticides can be used to spray the ground. However, this option may not be suitable due to reluctance to contact the chemistry, or due to a possible allergy.

In this case, you can buy an easy-to-use ultrasonic repeller. The device is placed near the site but is not a 100% guarantee of success.

Summer residents often protect areas with a decoction of cherry bark. Ticks do not like this plant, so they will avoid cultivated land. Another option is to cover the area with crushed stone or tiles, as insects prefer to stay in the grass and will not cross the border.

We remind you that various rodents in the vegetable garden cause serious damage. However, experts have named cheap and simple methods that will help get rid of rats and other pests forever. Despite the damage that rats cause, they also spread potentially dangerous diseases.
