The abnormally warm winter has led to ticks becoming active in some regions.
Unfortunately, the first cases of bloodsucker bites have been recorded this year.
This is bad news for summer residents: a huge number of these small pests are expected by the beginning of the season.
But you can protect your land from the penetration of harmful arachnids.
Just one bush of a plant planted on the site will help with this.
This is tansy. Ticks cannot stand the aroma of this representative of flora.
If the plant is planted around the perimeter of the area, dangerous creatures will avoid it.
Wormwood, lavender, pyrethrum, rosemary, and basil are no less effective in this regard.
Ticks also cannot stand the smells of these plants.
Experienced gardeners who are faced with the problem of tick aggression plant one of the above plants from season to season.
According to them, after this, the arthropods no longer visit their territory.
By the way. If your site is located near a forest, you can arrange a wide strip of gravel around the perimeter.
This obstacle often becomes insurmountable for ticks.
