No flies, no mosquitoes: ticks settle at heights and this is the remedy to protect your home

If flies enter the house and begin to swarm in the air, mosquitoes, on the other hand, bite us. Flies, more than anything, land on food and can infect it with dangerous bacteria. They do not distinguish between healthy food and rotten food. So when they land on our plates, they may be coming from contaminated areas.

What looks like dandruff on your pillows or couch may be nits (lice eggs): the juice that eliminates these invaders in one go.

The mosquito, on the other hand, tries to bite us to draw some blood. A drop that is necessary for the eggs to mature and hatch. In fact, it is the females that bite. When they bite us, they inject a small dose of anesthesia with their stinger. This way we don't feel the pain of the bite. However, the bite can transmit bacteria. In countries with malaria, malaria is transmitted by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito.

We can keep flies and mosquitoes away with the use of certain aromatic plants. One of them, and a very powerful one, is lavender. If you like this fragrance, it would be a great solution.

Flies and mosquitoes fly and reach us. Ticks, on the other hand, do not fly, but they still reach us. The technique they use to reach us is not well known. Contrary to popular belief, ticks do not reach their victims from the ground.

It is not shoes or boots that will protect us from its attack, although it is wise to put them on. Ticks act this way. They detect the presence of possible victims by “sniffing” the carbon dioxide emitted by the animal. They then climb onto the supports. They can be tree branches. When the warm-blooded animal passes underneath, they drop down.

Therefore, more than shoes, it is an umbrella that could protect us from the attacks of a tick. Thus, their presence is concentrated in the countryside, while in the city we find them in parks and gardens.

Domestic animals

However, it is true that we can also catch them in contact with our dog. This, in turn, may have come into contact with another already infected animal. Without knowing it, we pet it or let it sleep next to us and this way it could transmit these bugs to us. With this hot weather, it is always best to check on your dog periodically.

However, everyone is worried about mosquitoes and flies, but be careful with ticks, which are no less dangerous. In fact, ticks transmit little-known but dangerous diseases, such as Lyme disease. That is why it is advisable to do good prevention and protect animals. Among the natural remedies that can repel ticks are eucalyptus and lavender oil. Two refreshing scents that are also suitable for hot weather.
