Ticks appear in spring and summer, if winter was gentle, then in the garden we can experience a real shake of these persistent arachnids. What to do to get rid of them? You don’t have to use chemistry or expensive preparations that don’t affect plants and other animals.
Ticks appear in the gardens in March, but the warmer the more they are. They are activated when the outside temperature is over 7 degrees C. On the plots they find good living conditions – shadow, moisture and lots of plants on which they can be. Therefore, it is worth ensuring that you get rid of them effectively. Especially if we often stay in the garden and we have animals, e.g. dogs that can easily catch ticks while playing in the yard.
In order to protect against ticks, it is also worth next to the places where we stay to plant a lot of catnip and lavender bushes. These plants effectively deter not only ticks, but also mosquitoes, which can also cause problems.

Diatomite, otherwise diatomit, can be found in most garden stores. It is a powder that is made of diatoms armor. It is natural and safe for plants in the garden, as well as people and pets. However, it is poisonous for ticks. Diatomaceous soil molecules damage the body of arachnids, and this leads to dehydration and death.
The use of diatomaceous soil is very simple – just pour it out in the garden, especially in places where we often stay and at trees and larger bushes, where they can be ticks. Diatomaceous soil is best scattered into a sunny, windless day. After each rain we should add it. During this activity, it is worth putting on a protective mask so as not to inhale dust unnecessarily.
