Sajnos ez a gyönyörű kerti növény valóságos kullancsmágnes, mégis mindenki elülteti

Most people are not aware that ticks occur not only in the forests, in fields. Unfortunately, these small but dangerous bloodsuckers can also be present in our own garden and cause problems. Ticks have a particularly popular plant in fern, on which they hide very well, waiting for their sacrifice.

Fern is an ideal hiding place for them.

Fern is a very beautiful green and rich plant, which is planted by many in the garden of their home, because it is really care-free and shows its most beautiful form even in a shady place. Few people are aware that this plant provides an almost perfect habitat for ticks. They are not attracted by the fern, but by the humid, dense, shady microclimate that he forms under his leaves.

Ticks avoid sunny, dry areas and are most often looking for a place where they can live in a damp, cool environment. Fern is perfectly suitable for this, especially if you let it grow into a large, dense bush.

How can the garden be safer with a cold?

• Sit it in a place where the air moves better and there is less humidity.
• Regularly thin the leaves and back the plant so that it does not be very dense.
• Do not plant it near a terrace or playground where you are often.
• Avoid killing in a shady, wet place because these are the favorite hiding places for ticks.

It’s not just this plant that’s what they like:

The fern is only one of many, because other plants are also preferred by ticks as hiding places:

• Furnish, mogyoróhazelnuts, black elderberries: they all form a dense, humid plant mass, which can be an excellent hiding place.
• Amber and other ground covers: they retain a lot of moisture, making them ideal for ticks.
• It is dense, closed hedges: they provide an airless, damp environment that ticks love.
• Tuja: although popular evergreen, bloodsuckers can also hide among their pine needles.

Defending against ticks:

One of the best defenses can be with keeping the garden in order:

• Swallow the lawn regularly, especially in spring and summer.
• Always keep the garden clean.
• Add the fallen leaf and plant debris.
• Avoid over-rich, neglected vegetation, as it attracts ticks.
