Is it possible to protect yourself and your loved ones from the invasion of insects? It turns out that nothing is impossible. I offer you a selection of methods for dealing with blood-sucking insects.
Ways to secure the site yourself
I found a lot of interesting things on the Internet. I took into account my own experience, talked with neighbors. I do not pretend to be an expert, but the title of “expert” would be appropriate. In a short review I will tell you about chemicals that repel plants, the use of checkers and much more.
Chemical treatment rules
I want to start with this. The first disinfection is carried out in the spring, until a green cone appeared on the plants, the grass hatched. When the air warms up to +12 ° C during the day, it is time to breed pesticides. When working with them, do not forget about personal protective equipment.
Spraying should be carried out in the evening, when there is no wind, on dry grass. It is desirable that there is no precipitation in the next three days. Then most of the ticks will definitely die. With increased humidity, the concentration of active drugs decreases. Harmful insects are tenacious, their short-term poisoning will not kill.
Re-processing is best done in late June – early July, when the first offspring hatch. Tick larvae and nymphs are very susceptible to intestinal drugs. They cannot eat, they die from dehydration.
The third treatment is desirable in the fall, when the garbage is collected on the site, the plants are covered for wintering. Chemicals will penetrate into the topsoil and become an obstacle for dangerous insects during the spring awakening.
Insecticidal preparations
For the treatment of the site, industrial pesticides are used - enteric pesticides. They are used to treat rooms from ticks, bugs, cockroaches, ants, fleas.
| Name | Active ingredient / hazard class | Description |
| Sipaz super | Zeta-cypermethrin / low toxic | Concentrated emulsion with a pungent odor |
| Ram | Zeta-cypermethrin / low toxic | Milky emulsion |
| Medilis Ziper | Cypermethrin / moderately toxic | Thick white emulsion |
| Gladiator | Lambda-cyhalothrin / low toxic | Water-based opaque emulsion |
| Acaritox | Alphacypermethrin / moderately toxic | Wettable powder |
| Karbofos | Malathion / moderately toxic | Transparent suspension |
Now about the preparation of working solutions. Acaricides are bred according to instructions, and not on the recommendation of neighbors. The same drugs have different concentrations, they are marked with the letter "M" with the prefix "maxi" or "forte"
What drugs won't help
It is useless to use plant protection products against blood-sucking insects. Spider mites or thrips feed on plant sap, have nothing to do with insects that suck on animals and people. Preparations based on neonicotinoids useless to use.
The use of smoke bombs to process the site
The active substance, mixed with peat, is distributed along with the smoke when the checker fires. Processing is best done at dusk. When the air temperature drops, acrid clouds will not rise high, they will settle with condensation. If the street is calm, you can set fire to the saber. In the wind - I do not advise. The train will spread hundreds of meters. It's also good if the smoke blows over the fence. Neighbors may not like the imposed treatment.
Checkers Peshka-S, Quiet Evening, Samuro weighing 50 g cost in the range of 200-300 rubles. They are in cans. When buying, you need to take into account the processed footage. Standard checkers operate on an area of up to 250 sq.m. up to a month.
Planting insecticide plants
During the spring migration of mites, plants are ineffective. Bloodsuckers wake up before they appear. At a later period, a green border of chamomile, calendula, tansy can become an obstacle for dangerous insects.They will not save the site 100%. Animals and rodents bring ticks on wool. Alas, it will not work to completely block their access. People can also bring the insect on clothes, shoes, bags. They can be on the wheels of cars.
You can save yourself from mass destruction with the help of useful plants. Three hundred rubles will be enough for seeds. You can use your own planting material. Many summer residents prefer to sow roadsides with insecticides, strips of land near fences.
A decoction prepared on the basis of bird cherry bark will scare off insidious insects. I confess right away: I haven't tried it myself, but the neighbors say it helps. Tansy, pine needles infusion is a sure remedy. In villages, babies were smeared with such infusions from blood-sucking insects.
Scare away with ultrasound
I doubt that repellents will be effective throughout the entire area. They have a short range. It is real to plug the know-how into the outlet in the gazebo when people gather for a picnic. Neutralizing the entire territory will not work. The price of the repeller is about 1.5 thousand. With this money, it is better to buy a canister of pesticides.
Inviting specialists
Specialist services cost from 5 to 10 thousand per hundred square meters. The amount is large. The cost of services includes the treatment of the entire territory and the creation of a barrier protection - the perimeter is treated with long-acting deterrent drugs. Experts advise free of charge - they show possible places of accumulation of dangerous blood-sucking insects. They will advise how best to carry out the processing.
