Instead of poisoning ticks (and themselves at the same time) with industrially produced synthetic insecticides, many gardeners use special varieties of flowers for this purpose.
The list of plants, planting which on your plot, you will forget about blood-sucking parasites, was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Perhaps the first place in this top can be given to common tansy.
Catnip and lavender have proven to be equally effective as preventative measures.
Dalmatian, Persian or Caucasian chamomile, which is popularly known as pharmacy chamomile, also became part of this list.
In addition, the list includes rosemary and wormwood. Please note: wormwood can only be grown if you are sure that no one in your family suffers from allergies.
Despite the fact that the listed plants feel comfortable in any soil and will serve as guaranteed protection for the site from the penetration of ticks, you should not forget about other precautions.
Carefully inspect yourself and your pets for ticks, and also try to get rid of last year's leaves, branches and weeds, where parasites often hide.
