Plants That Repel Ticks And Fleas

Plants have been used to repel fleas and ticks for centuries. Fleas and ticks are insects with built-in sensors that enable them to detect carbon dioxide, heat, and vibration. The theory is simple: If a plant produces high levels of carbon dioxide, smells awful, or can make pets or people uncomfortable in some way, pests will find it less than desirable as a place to live/feed. Ticks and fleas are a nuisance to pets and people. They interfere with our enjoyment of the outdoors and disrupt the lives of our animals. The best way to repell ticks and fleas is to avoid them in the first place. Re-apply repellent as needed, especially after exposure to ticks and fleas. At the heart of every animal is a natural desire to live life in a way that makes them happy and comfortable. For dogs, this means chasing balls, chewing on bones and lying down in the sun. But fleas and ticks can quickly make this dream a nightmare. Their bite itches. Their saliva could trigger allergies, paralysis and other reactions that no dog owner should have to deal with. That’s why here at Bark Bark I only recommend plants that repel fleas and ticks.

Ticks can be a problem for your dog. They can carry diseases, and they can make your dog uncomfortable. If you want to keep ticks off of your dog, consider planting these plants in your yard:

Lavender – Lavender is one of the most effective plants for repelling ticks and fleas. It also smells great!

Rosemary – Rosemary is another great plant for repelling fleas and ticks, as well as mosquitoes. It also adds a nice flavor to food when it’s cooked with other herbs or meats.

Pennyroyal – This herb is very effective at repelling ticks, but it is toxic to cats so keep them away from it if you have both cats and dogs in your house!
