What is the danger of ticks

Similar to small spiders, ticks feed on the blood of mammals. For them, there is no difference between animals and humans, which only contributes to the spread of dangerous diseases. It is the tick that is able to infect a person with Lyme disease, viral encephalitis, hemorrhagic fever. These diseases have serious consequences and can result in disability and even death.

Parasites also attack domestic animals, affecting their nervous system and causing extremely serious conditions. Only acaricidal agents that need to be treated will help to get rid of ticks.

How to find and get rid of ticks

An uncomplicated method will help to detect parasites in a summer cottage. In the spring, a piece of white cloth is carried over the grass. A waffle towel is ideal. They fan the grass in the early morning, immediately after the dew dries.

TIP! To protect yourself and your family from serious consequences, the treatment of the site must be carried out, even if not a single tick is found on the tissue.

For the treatment of the territory it is necessary to use industrial preparations, the effectiveness of which has been proven by many years of use. These funds include:

"Taran Zetacypermethrin". It destroys not only ticks, but also other blood-sucking insects, as well as other pests.

Spraying of the territory is carried out in calm, clear weather. If the forecast promises to rain, it is better to postpone the processing.

Plants with mature fruits should not be processed so as not to saturate them with toxic agents. The fight against ticks is carried out 1.5-2 months before the appearance of fruits.

Ticks are not able to rise to a height of more than 150 cm. For this reason, it is important to cultivate not only the soil, but also tall grass and bushes. It is also necessary to process areas adjacent to recreation areas and paths.

Antiparasitic drugs are recommended to be used twice a year:

In early spring, when insects wake up and become active.
In late autumn, in order to destroy all newly appeared parasites on the territory.

Prevention

Regular mowing of the grass will help prevent mites from multiplying. Wild animals (hedgehogs, hares, rats, foxes) are carriers of parasites. Repellers installed on the territory will help to avoid their appearance.

Weeds and tops should not remain on the site. They must be destroyed immediately in order to deprive the ticks of the opportunity to find shelter in them.
