It's high time to start fighting ticks, which bring nothing but discomfort with their appearance.
It's worth it to remove the insect from the body, and then wait for the results of testing for known infections. The main thing is that the bite has no consequences.
In this case, there are 4 ways to combat the parasite, but it is better to choose not just one, but to attack the ticks in a comprehensive manner.
The first way
It is necessary to clean up the garden plot. That is, remove last year's leaves, grass and other vegetation, and send all the garbage to the fire. During the season, it is necessary to prevent the appearance of thickets.
Method two
It is necessary to purchase insecticides, a garden sprayer and carry out the treatment yourself. The main thing is to have time before beneficial insects start flying and the vegetation period of cultivated plants begins.
The effectiveness of the treatment depends on the concentration of the preparation used and the weather.
Method three
You can buy an ultrasonic repeller, which is easy to use. You can place it near a sandbox or playground. But this product will not replace chemical treatment.
Method four
Use repellent plants. To protect the area from tick invasion from neighbors or the forest, chamomile, wild rosemary, tansy, bird cherry (ticks do not like its bark and you can treat it with a decoction) will help.
And finally. You can sprinkle the paths with gravel or lay paving slabs - ticks do not like such surfaces and often prefer to stay in the shade of tall grass and bushes.
