Ticks are such a nuisance. They only want to suck our blood and carry disease. No thank you. Not only are they dangerous to our pets but they are also dangerous to humans as well. It’s not that hard to get rid of ticks from your yard, and I’m going to tell you all about it today. Since there are so many tick remedies on the market today that can cost you a lot of money, as well as add potentially harmful chemicals to your skin and/or body, you want to be very careful in choosing which product is right for you. To help give you an alternative option or two that could save you some money and maybe even add a little more peace of mind when it comes to ticks, we will take a look at a few different options and how they compare to broad-spectrum treatments and other ticks home remedies.

Natural Tick Repellent Yard

Mulch.

Mulch is an effective tick repellent. It is made from wood or bark, and it can be used around your home and garden to keep ticks away.

Keeping your lawn trimmed short and frequently mowing your lawn will help with the tick situation.

• Keeping your lawn trimmed short and frequently mowing your lawn will help with the tick situation.
• Ticks can’t fly or jump, they wait on the tips of grasses and shrubs and then climb on to the host when it brushes the plant.

Plant a natural border of Marigolds around your property.

• Marigolds are one of the most effective repellents against ticks.
• They’re easy to grow and maintain and can be found at most garden stores.

Planting Rosemary near your door, deck or patio is another way to keep ticks away.

Planting Rosemary near your door, deck or patio is another way to keep ticks away. This plant has been shown to repel pests such as mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. It’s also known for repelling mice, moles and other rodents! Rosemary is a hardy herb that grows quite easily in the ground if you live in a sunny area and does well indoors too.

Rosemary can be planted at the base of your deck stairs (or porch). Planting rosemary near your pets’ food bowl will help prevent them from eating ticks or other insects that fall into their food bowls while they are eating. Rosemary also helps repel rodents like mice who love chewing on it! If a mouse sees rosemary growing they won’t want anything to do with it because it tastes bad and smells worse!

Rosemary can also be planted around clotheslines so that clothes dry quickly without any moisture buildup which attracts mosquitoes or gnats looking for water sources where they can lay eggs; these eggs hatch into larvae which grow in size before turning into adults again later on down the line when conditions are right! You may want consider planting some next time before going camping out in nature too -it works great!”

The use of cedar chips or cedar oil as a tick repellent is also very common in many parts of North America.

In addition to repellent oils like citronella, many homeowners use cedar chips or oil as a tick repellent. This is an effective and inexpensive method for controlling ticks in your yard.

If you have access to the Internet, you can order cedar oil from online retailers such as Amazon (we recommend this option because it will be delivered directly to your home). You’ll need about one gallon of water per pound of cedar wood shavings or chips—so if you wanted to cover an area of 5 square feet with four inches of wood dust, it would take about 2 pounds of shavings in total.

Try using eucalyptus oil to repel ticks.

Eucalyptus oil is a powerful repellent for ticks. To use it, soak cotton balls in eucalyptus oil and place them around your yard where ticks are likely to be a problem. Alternatively, you can put cotton balls in containers and add a few drops of eucalyptus oil every few days.

Aromatherapy experts note that while the scent of eucalyptus may not be pleasant to everyone, it’s not an unpleasant smell—and ticks definitely don’t like it!

Tick Repellent Yard

Tick Repellent Yard

• Mulch. This is a useful practice, as ticks are repelled by the scent of wood.
• Mowing lawn. Maintaining a healthy grass height helps to reduce the number of ticks in your yard. A good rule of thumb is not to cut any closer than 2 inches, or else there’s too little ground cover to provide protection from sunlight (and heat). You may also want to consider adding some wildflowers along with your mowed grass for an added effect!
• Planting flowers and herbs. Flowers like daisies, marigolds and lavender have been shown in some studies to repel pests such as mosquitoes thanks to their strong scents which can act as an effective deterrent against bugs like ticks and mosquitos looking for warm bodies upon which they can feed upon without being noticed first before taking up residence inside them!
