How To Keep Ticks Off

Do you take pleasure in the period going for walks in nature, camping, or having a eat outside, or just reading books in your backyard? Almost all of us do, but it is absolutely not exciting to get a tick burrowed in your own body.

Individuals who spend a bunch of time outside must learn how to hold ticks out, as they are annoying and dangerous, and may even bring lethal illnesses.

The following trick is a real treasure:

Get some of your favorite essential oil and a lint roller with adhesive layers. Roll the lint on the clothes from time to time when outdoors, and you might be surprised after some time!

The essential oil reduces the risk of ticks hopping onto you while you are outside, as it deters them, as well as black flies and mosquitos. This is a much healthier alternative than the commercial repellents which are loaded with chemicals.

These are the 5 best essential oils you can use

Eucalyptus – You can use it alone or mix it with citronella oil to create an all-purpose bug deterrent. The Journal of Medical Entomology published a study which showed that eucalyptus extract reduces tick bites and soothes infections.

Lemon – the lemon essential oil is high in limonene, a compound which repels fleas and other bugs. Just dilute it and spray onto your skin and clothes.

Lavender – Bugs hate the sweet smell of lavender so it can help you deter flies, mosquitoes, and other insects.

Lemongrass – It is made from the tropical lemongrass plant Cymbopogon citrates, and its citrus scent repels fleas and ticks. You can spray it directly on the skin.

Pennyroyal – This member of the mint family is toxic to insects and is a potent natural insect repellent!
