With the onset of the summer period, trips to nature and moving to the warmer months to suburban homes or country houses become the most favorite entertainment.
Greenery, sun, clean air - all this is fine, but there is a great danger of
a tick bite. And this means that before you go on a barbecue, fishing, picking mushrooms or moving to your house closer to nature, treatment from ticks is necessary.
Nature trips
Before you go to nature, you need to carefully prepare. The countryside is not treated for dangerous insects; therefore, personal safety measures should be observed. First, wear closed clothing, especially on your feet. The head should be covered with a panama, scarf or other dense headdress. Secondly, it is necessary to use means of protection against ticks, which are abundant in stores. It can be an aerosol or a pencil. An anti-mite agent is applied to clothing, as well as to exposed areas of the skin, while avoiding their ingestion in the mouth, eyes and nose.
Protecting your site
Processing the territory from ticks is a rather difficult task, but doable. You can’t just come, pickle, and continue to live in peace. Processing from ticks of their territory is a whole range of measures that must be performed to feel complete confidence in their safety and the safety of dear people.
Firstly, it is necessary to clean the area of old branches and dry grass. It is best to collect everything with a rake and burn it. Also, to prevent subsequent insects from entering the area, a small ditch should be dug around the perimeter, into which the drug is to be poured for disinsection.
If the site is cleaned, then the next step is its processing from
ticks. To destroy dangerous insects can be a chemical or mechanical method. Etching is carried out using special preparations, and it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions and observe safety measures. The best time for pickling is considered to be the period when the snow has just melted, because the mites are still sluggish and have not activated. After spraying an anti-mite agent, it is not recommended to walk around the site for about 3 days, since under the influence of toxic substances the mites become active, which increases the risk of a bite.
If for some reason it is not possible to etch the site and the
surrounding area, then you can simply collect the ticks that are on the site. To do this, take a stick and tie a white canvas to one end. Then walk around the site holding the canvas on the grass. All mites that are on the rag must be burned. This is how machining from ticks is performed.
Even after clearing the area of ticks, it is necessary to take care of preventive measures. Firstly, it is necessary to restrict access to the area of stray animals. Most often, ticks fall on the site with rodents, so you should install traps and poison for them. If there are pets that go beyond the borders of the treated area, it is strongly recommended to purchase means of protection against ticks and for them. It can be drops that drip onto the withers of the animal, or a special collar. If this is not done, then treatment from ticks can be a waste of time and, most importantly, lead to undesirable consequences.
