With the arrival of spring and warm weather, the problem with ticks appears again. They bring nothing but discomfort.

Still, the bite can be infectious. In this case, you need to spend a lot of time to carefully remove the tick and wait for the results of the examination. Still, you should not forget that there can be serious consequences from tick bites.

So now is the time to start fighting them.

Don't think that ticks are easy to pick up only in the forest or field. They can also attack gardens and summer cottages.

Experienced gardeners note that you can plant on the territory those plants that repel ticks with their aroma. We are talking about rosemary, chrysanthemums, catnip, tansy.

Ticks also don't like lavender, marigolds, plectranthus and geraniums.

It is worth adding that essential oils with such aromas will also be effective.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account that insects like to live in abandoned areas where no one has mowed the lawn for a long time, removed old branches, and so on.
