Everyone knows that ticks can pose a serious threat to human health, so it is worth protecting yourself as much as possible from possible contact with insects.
At the dacha such a “meeting” is most likely to occur.
However, some plants can repel dangerous insects, reminds agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What options are worth paying attention to?
Sagebrush
If this weed grows around the perimeter of your plot, you don't need to get rid of it. Ticks are very wary of plants with a specific smell.
It is also worth considering that wormwood can reduce the number of mosquitoes.
Marigold
If you evenly distribute marigold plantings throughout the area, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of ticks appearing. This solution will also reduce the population of other pests.
Lavender
The flower has a calming aroma and looks beautiful in the country. You can plant lavender near recreation areas. In this case, you can forget not only about ticks, but also about midges and mosquitoes.
Tansy
Many agree that this is the best option for getting rid of ticks. You can simply leave the tansy while weeding.
There are also decorative varieties of this useful plant.
