Ticks can become a serious problem when visiting a summer house, spoiling your vacation with serious consequences.
Sometimes the consequences of such contact can be irreversible.
Therefore, it is worth protecting your plot from these dangerous insects in advance, advises Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer.
What are the 2 methods to look out for?
Leave the plants you need
If you notice that wormwood and tansy have appeared on your plot, do not rush to get rid of them: ticks are very afraid of them. It also makes sense to plant lavender. Your plot will look more romantic, and you will be able to relax without the risk of a tick bite.
Rosemary is an excellent insect repellent. You can also try planting more mint and basil.
"Garlic Attack"
Not everyone wants to carry out full-scale chemical treatment on the plot where they grow vegetables, berries and fruits for personal consumption.
Therefore, it is worth trying a special method. You will need to bring four cloves of garlic to a state of gruel and pour a large spoon of essential oil. The aroma should be pine. After 24 hours, mix the prepared concentrate with one large spoon of soap in 0.5 liters of water.
After that we begin processing the area.
