Treating the area against mosquitoes and ticks: TOP best mosquito repellents in the country

Insects, greedy for human blood, are perhaps one of the most noticeable disadvantages of owning a plot of land (especially in the summer). At the same time, treating an area from mosquitoes, ticks and other pests to a person who is unprepared or not properly informed can cause even more harm than the presence of the parasites themselves in the house. Do you want to know how to protect yourself from ticks in your dacha? How to “fight” mosquitoes and protect your body from the attacks of insidious bloodsuckers? We are ready to answer these (and more) questions.

Purposes and timing of processing

Defenders of nature and the environment argue that insects are inextricably linked with the natural community and contribute to the development of the biosphere; they are indispensable for the normal course of natural processes.
However, treating the area against mosquitoes is recognized as an urgent precaution and safety measure, since, along with other types of midges, they are capable of spreading a number of serious infections: malaria, encephalitis, borreliosis, and many types of fever. Doctors warn that even a single “attempt” by a bloodsucker can cause the development of a severe allergic reaction, and sometimes anaphylactic shock. And many children suffer from individual intolerance to the components that pests inject into the blood. The consequences of contact with insects are also considered dangerous. A barely noticeable wound without timely treatment causes discomfort, as itching, redness and swelling of soft tissues occur. When scratching, the affected area increases, which becomes a favorable environment for infection and causes the development of the inflammatory process.

It is recommended to carry out disinfestation in summer cottages and garden plots during the season of high mosquito activity. It falls at the beginning of summer.

The presence of an apiary, fish pond or other body of water in the neighborhood or adjacent territory imposes certain restrictions on the open spraying of most insecticides that can kill beneficial insects and pond inhabitants. In this case, it is recommended to carry out treatment only in the evening, avoiding the area above the surface of the water.

Choosing a means to treat an area against ticks and mosquitoes

When choosing a drug, it is based on which mites need to be destroyed and what active substance to use (either based on permethrins or based on organophosphorus compounds). The latter have almost already been abandoned; most often, preparations with the main component in the composition - permethrin - are used against ixodid ticks.

The higher the concentration of the active substance, the more effective the drug. It is advisable to use two-component drugs.

The principle of operation of these agents is based on the fact that when they enter the body of ticks through contact, they cause disruption of the functioning of the nervous system and block the transmission of impulses. This results in muscle paralysis, and subsequently in the death of insects.

Types of acaricidal agents

According to the existing classification, acaricidal preparations are divided according to the principle of their effect on ticks and other insects. The selection of pesticides should be entrusted to employees of organizations that specialize in the destruction of viruses, fungi, arthropods, rodents and other pests. Modern pesticides (poisons) have many commercial names, but are divided into 3 main types:

  1. Insectoacaricides (combined compound) - affect both ticks and other insects. These include organophosphates, some substances from the group of pyrethroids and, directly, sulfur itself.
  1. Specific acaricide preparations that affect only ticks (although it is possible that other insects living in the ground may be affected). More and more such narrowly targeted tools are appearing. Not only the names differ, but also the chemicals. a composition containing substances such as: sulfur, bromine, heterocycles (Propartite Bromopropylate, Clofentezine, Pridaben, etc.).
  1. Acarofungicins - in addition to mites, destroy pathogenic fungal formations. This item is not included as a separate species by all scientists. It is used by specialists in conditions where it will give the greatest effect. A combination of parasitic infection of the human environment other than insects by fungal mold.

You should not carry out Acaricidal treatment yourself, since it is necessary to take into account many parameters and conditions under which it is possible to obtain a positive result. In addition, when purchasing the drug for home use:

  • firstly, you will get less effective than the one used by professionals;
  • secondly, the chances are high that you will purchase a fake;
  • thirdly, a pest (mite or other insect) may be resistant to a chemical chosen at random.

For example, a drug that once worked well against pests, which included phosphorus, has ceased to have an effect on ticks due to long-term use of FOS. They quickly adapt to frequently used pesticides. Therefore, preference is given to new modern specific means.

Acaritox

The active ingredient is alphacypermethrin. It comes in the form of a white powder that needs to be diluted in water. It has a wide spectrum of action and is aimed at destroying ixodid ticks, mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches. Price from 2000 rubles per 1 kg. The consumption rate is 0.4-1 kg per 1 hectare of land.

Review

We used Acaritox to fight ticks in the area. While the treatment was being carried out, the children were sent to their grandmother. There was no tall grass on the site, so the product was used very sparingly. 1 kg per 6 acres will be enough for several years - that’s for sure.

Acaricidal treatment – ​​protection of humans, animals and crops

Effective fight against blood-sucking parasites that transmit infectious diseases and harm agriculture has only been going on for a long time. Only with the synthesis of DDT (COS) preparations in the 40s did the prospect of creating poisons that act on this group of pests appear. Acaricidal treatment (disinsection) is successfully used against:

  • bedbugs;
  • mole crickets;
  • flies;
  • ants;
  • mosquitoes;
  • other pests living in the soil.

Dichlorobiphenyl itself does not have a negative effect on ticks; they are resistant to it. But its related pesticide HCCH (lindane, hexachlorane) is included in a number of active substances - acaricides against arachnids and arthropods.

Review

Taran is a very strong insecticide. It is even used by special services. It is not difficult to treat the area yourself, but the efficiency will not be at the highest level. Only professional equipment can spray every petal and blade of grass. After using it on our own we were able to completely get rid of ticks and mosquitoes in our summer cottage. We were pleased with the result.

Andrey, Yaroslavl

Also, for self-treatment of the area against ticks and mosquitoes, you can use Sinuzan, Agran, Rubit, Medilis Cyper and Yurax. These drugs have a large number of positive reviews and have proven themselves to be highly effective insecticides.

For Jur. persons

Ticks are classified as arachnids that feed on the blood of animals and humans. In the modern world there are up to 40 thousand varieties of these animals.

But two types play a significant epidemiological role:

  • taiga tick;
  • European forest tick.

Until now, acarologists have not come to a common opinion about where mites came from and from whom they originated.

Ancient folk recipes

Treatment of mosquitoes and other dangerous insects on the site using folk remedies is popular among rural residents. The good thing about this method is that at minimal cost it gives a tangible, even short-lived, result. It is also used by summer residents who are not ready for more serious expenses. To provide passive protection to their garden plots, they plant insect-repellent plants.

Tomatoes. Bushes are planted around the perimeter of the territory and under windows. Bloodsuckers cannot stand their scent, so they try to avoid areas where it is felt quite strongly. This method is also suitable for apartment owners: you can protect the premises from itchy creatures by planting tomatoes in pots on the windowsills.

Some medicinal plants also have a no less specific and pungent odor:

  • rosemary;
  • mint;
  • calendula;
  • sage;
  • marigold;
  • tansy;
  • sagebrush;
  • carnation;
  • geranium;
  • chamomile;
  • elder.

By planting bushes along the edges of the site, you can get a living fence in the form of a persistent, pungent aroma. And to strengthen it, it is recommended to periodically crush several leaves or twigs.

Another reliable option for protection against mosquitoes and other insects is fire smoke. Some types of bloodsuckers have developed immunity to it, but most pests still cannot tolerate this smell. Plants will help create a safe smoke screen:

  • pine, spruce branches;
  • conifer cones;
  • herbs with a pungent aroma - thyme, wormwood, mint, elderberry leaves, bird cherry;
  • dry juniper shoots.

When starting a fire, you must remember the fire safety rules. To do this, use barbecues and other means of limiting open fire.

Fighting mosquitoes with folk remedies

People have long come up with many environmentally friendly ways to combat blood-sucking insects. These methods are safe for humans, pets, and the environment, but are less effective compared to insecticide treatment. Traditional methods can be used as temporary measures to repel mosquitoes, as additional protective measures or for prevention.

Ether aromas

Mosquitoes do not tolerate the smell of lavender, eucalyptus, cloves, anise, thyme, tea tree, and basil. To repel insects, you can place lamps with essential oils at a distance from each other. And indoors, furniture and other surfaces are wiped with a napkin soaked in aromatic solutions.

The ethers are effective until they wear off. On average, you can get several hours of comfortable rest. While the smell lasts, mosquitoes will not bother you, but then they will definitely return.

Bottle traps

To make this simple device, any plastic bottle of sufficiently large capacity will do. It is necessary to cut off the upper part, and pour a mixture of a glass of heated water and two tablespoons of sugar into the lower part. When the liquid has cooled to room temperature, add one gram of dry yeast.

The lower part is placed in a shaded, damp place where insects will disturb the least. Place the top of the bottle on the base so that the wide part is at the top. The trap itself is wrapped in paper.

You need to make sure that the structure stands well and will not accidentally tip over. During fermentation, yeast produces carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes. Insects flock to the trap and hover around, so there will clearly be fewer of them in the area.

Plants with pungent odors

You can repel mosquitoes with the help of some plants whose smell these insects do not like. Calendula, marigolds, tomatoes, chamomile, mint, thyme, and cloves are suitable. You can collect these plants in small bunches and hang them around the house, on verandas and terraces. With such natural protection, there will be much less mosquitoes.

If you are going to relax near the fire, and insects prevent you from relaxing peacefully. You can throw a few pine cones, juniper branches or fragrant herbs into the fire. Any vegetation that, when burned, will emit a pungent odor that repels mosquitoes, will do.

Sticky bait strips

These funds have been used for a long time. They are equally effective against mosquitoes, midges and flies. You can buy ready-made sticky strips or make them yourself. In the second case, you will need thick paper, which is coated with a sticky composition with a smell that attracts mosquitoes. There are several recipes, so you can choose the one that is convenient for you. Here is an example of such a composition:

  • pine resin;
  • honey;
  • linseed oil;
  • beeswax.

All components are mixed in the ratio: 2:5:1:1. The exact amount of ingredients depends on how much sticky mixture you are making.

The attractive mass is carefully applied to paper strips, which are then hung in places where insects accumulate. The more such traps, the fewer mosquitoes will hover around you.

Self-processing of the site

Many summer residents and owners of country houses try to treat their plots against mosquitoes themselves. It is important to consider here that there are no absolutely safe drugs, so you need to carefully choose an insecticide. In addition, it is worth knowing how to spray the product correctly and what rules should be followed in order to protect yourself and your loved ones as much as possible.

Impact zones

It is recommended to start disinfestation with residential buildings and outbuildings, while doors, windows and vents must be tightly closed. After spraying the outer walls, you should move on to the vegetation. It is recommended to treat those that grow along the perimeter of the territory. It is necessary to avoid contact with buds, flowers and fruit ovaries, otherwise the entire crop will die. Particular attention should be paid to lowlands, ravines, and wetlands. It is also recommended to spray areas around sources of moisture: taps, drains, sewers. It is in these places that the largest concentration of insect larvae and eggs is located.

Safety briefing

In general, it is recommended to prepare for the disinfestation procedure in advance. To do this you need to purchase the following:

  • suitable treatment agent;
  • set of protective equipment: raincoat, gloves, boots, respirator, goggles, hat;
  • sprayer - the volume should depend on the area of ​​the site.

The next step is to monitor the weather forecast. Treatment should be carried out in dry conditions, when there is no rain or wind (ideally, if no precipitation is expected within the next three days).

  1. 1. There should be no people, domestic or wild animals, or beneficial insects (for example, bees) on the territory. The area is considered safe 4-5 days after disinfestation. If there is an apiary nearby, it is necessary to limit access to the treated areas.
  2. 2. The area should be prepared accordingly: in open areas, mow the grass, remove the remains of last year’s leaves, hay, construction or household waste.
  3. 3. Seal open containers with water hermetically.

It is recommended to prepare the solution immediately before use. To do this, you must strictly observe the dosage and follow the instructions.

Smoke spirals

They are compressed tapes twisted in the shape of a spiral. This is a hardened paste based on wood flour, which is impregnated with the Allethrin preparation. After being set on fire, it begins to smolder and smoke, emitting a strong aroma. As a result, mosquitoes cannot fly up and bite.

Drugs and their features

People can achieve lasting success only by completely spraying chemical reagents. The question of how to treat an area against mosquitoes worries many summer residents. Manufacturers offer a wide range of products, among which, according to reviews from gardeners, the following are considered the most effective.

  1. 1. "Tsifoks". Actively used by professional services. The active ingredient is cypermethrin at a concentration of 25%. The solution prepared immediately before use is sprayed using a sprayer. The protection lasts for about three months.
  2. 2. "Medilis Cyper". It is considered an analogue of the previous product, but is sold at a higher price. The maximum effect appears after two hours, the result lasts for 90 days if sprayed in dry weather.
  3. 3. "Agran". The drug contains two active components (chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin) and has a wide spectrum of action. Before use, prepare a solution based on warm water, which is sprayed with a sprayer. Areas near ponds are subject to treatment.
  4. 4. “Biolavricide-100”. Effectively destroys larvae and adults. It is used for treating the surfaces of reservoirs, marshy and flooded areas of soil.

When choosing a drug, experts recommend taking into account criteria such as terrain, the presence of reservoirs and areas with vegetation.

Spraying

Basic action plan:

  • House area. The selected drug is sprayed along the entire perimeter of the territory. It is prohibited to apply the insecticidal substance to fruit-bearing trees, flowers and plants.
  • All outbuildings located at the dacha must be carefully treated. Particular attention is paid to drains, drains and standing water tanks. Only after this can you proceed to work on the site.
  • Inspection of a residential building. An assessment of dark and damp areas (attics and basements) is required. If pupae or eggs are found, they should be removed immediately and the surface should be protected with the selected preparation.
  • Shrubs and trees. Blood-sucking insects love shady places. Therefore, you should choose a chemical that is allowed to be used to treat plants.
  • Reservoirs created by nature or man. Special chemistry is used to prevent the formation of larvae and adults. The substances have no effect on plants and fish.

Outside the fences, selected mosquito and fly repellents are sprayed. If you strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions, the blood-sucking insects will leave the dacha for the entire season.

Where do forest ticks live and hide?

For the most part, ticks watch for victims on paths, sitting in the grass, or near a forest path. In a pine forest, where there is much less moisture than in deciduous forests, ticks practically do not live.

The fact that ticks prefer warm places for settlement also proves their dominance:

  • in barns where grain is stored;
  • apartments;
  • private houses;
  • dachas

You can come across forest ticks anywhere in the world. The territory of all natural zones is suitable for their life process, regardless of the continent, climatic conditions and temperature regimes.

A place densely overgrown with grass, which does not inspire confidence from the outside, may turn out to be completely safe, and vice versa, a tidied and landscaped park can be densely populated with ticks and become really dangerous. Installed benches and trimmed grass do not guarantee the absence of ticks and the fact that tick-borne encephalitis does not attack.

There is a common belief that ticks live in trees, waiting for their victims and from above, they rush at them from the branches.

But this is only a widespread fiction that has no resemblance to reality.

Ticks live in grass very close to the ground. Tick ​​larvae are located in the grass at a height of 30 centimeters to one meter. The ticks themselves prefer to sit on the inside of plant leaves next to footpaths and animal paths. They cling to everyone who passes by this plant and touches it.

Typically, the tick bites adults on the lower part of the body:

  • legs;
  • buttocks;
  • groin.

Children are mostly bitten on the head and neck. Also, both adults and children are bitten by ticks on the arms and torso.

Mosquito insecticides

Professional products for treating the area, which have a unique composition:

  • "Cifox" - the active ingredient is cypermethrin. Before working on the territory of the dacha, the substance is dissolved. Apply by spraying. Helps destroy bedbugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches and other blood-sucking creatures.
  • The domestic product “Medilis cyper” is approved for use not only on personal plots, but also indoors.
  • “Sipaz Super” – 1 liter of solution is required per 1 hectare. Active ingredient: 25% cypermethrin. Available in the form of a concentrate, shelf life – 3 years. Treatment with the drug is carried out only before the bees begin to fly.
  • Agran - intended for territories and cottages that are located near water. Helps cope with mosquitoes and ticks.
  • Sinuzan – active ingredient chlorpyrifos 48%.
  • Biolavricide-100 does not affect the biosphere of the site, that is, beneficial insects will not die after treating the area.

Mosquito repellent tablets for outdoor use

Strengths of using special tablets and chemicals:

  • They cope with the task effectively. Initially, insecticides will reduce the population of insects in the area, and after a while they will eliminate them by 98%.
  • Mosquito larvae will be completely destroyed.
  • Professional products, when used correctly, do not cause allergies.
  • There is no pungent odor.
  • Long lasting. Most drugs work for 60 days.
  • Complete treatment of plants, trees and shrubs at a distance of 2 m from the ground.
  • Timely disinfestation saves you from various diseases carried by insects.

Minuses:

  • During operation, it is impossible to predict the gust of wind.
  • You need to coordinate your actions with your neighbors.
  • Almost all chemicals are toxic to humans and animals.

Habitats

Ticks are found in almost all regions of the planet, except for the Far North. Aboveground ticks prefer high levels of humidity, so they mostly live in:

  • near water;
  • in bushes;
  • in moss;
  • in animal burrows;
  • in the grass and fallen leaves.

Ticks are not able to rise higher than a meter, so they attack:

  • from grass;
  • from branches of low bushes;
  • from fallen leaves.

This is why you need to be wary and avoid stopping during a hike.

What threatens the appearance of ticks and mosquitoes in a summer cottage?

“Why do you need to treat your summer cottage for ticks, mosquitoes and other pests if they just drink blood” - by reasoning in this way, you expose not only your health, but also the lives of your loved ones to serious danger. Small, seemingly harmless pests can change your life for the worse in one bite.

Mosquitoes

In the understanding of most people, slight swelling, redness and irritating itching are the only consequences that can be caused by a mosquito bite. However, in practice, of course, everything turns out to be much more complicated. Even if we ignore the allergic reaction that can be caused by insect saliva, there are more than a dozen diseases dangerous to human health. Thus, prompt treatment against mosquitoes will allow you to avoid infection with: various types of malaria, lymphatic filariasis, WNV (West Nile Virus), tularemia, HIV infections (the risk of infection is minimal, but still exists), as well as various viral diseases such as chikungunya, dengue fever and yellow fever.

Failure to timely treat an area for ticks threatens to turn into a tragedy. Moreover, not only people and animals are at risk, but also plants growing near your home. A person who has aroused the interest of a bloodsucker soon runs the risk of discovering a slight redness on his body with a black dot in the center - the place where the pest has penetrated the skin. Basically, the risk zone is the buttocks and groin area, neck and area behind the ears, legs around the calves and other parts of the body that can be described as soft and warm.

An initially invisible bite threatens to turn into tick-borne viral encephalitis (after all, both males and females are equally carriers of it). This means that as a “gift” from ticks you will get fever, intoxication, damage to the brain and/or spinal cord, as well as serious neurological complications and possibly death.

Prevention: simple rules that will protect your home from insects

Unfortunately, mosquitoes are one of those insects that you can only escape from at the North Pole. As for the other “bloodsuckers,” there is still hope. If you do not want to create a risk to the health of your family and pets, then it is better not to deal with the issue of how to get rid of ticks on the site, but to prevent their appearance.

Travel outside the Moscow Ring Road

up to 20 km - 500 rub. from 20 to 50 km - 800 rub. From 50km to 100km - 1000 rubles. More than 100 km - price is negotiable.

For this:

  • At least once a season, do a general cleaning of your area. No deposits of dry branches or tops, no last year’s grass or debris. Anything that is of no use should be immediately consigned to fire. Thanks to this, not only will there be no need to treat the area against ticks, but other pests will also be deprived of their potential hiding places.
  • Don't let weeds and grass grow in your area. As soon as the first one appears, and the second one exceeds the required height by a couple of cm, immediately take up the scythe or lawn mower.
  • Protect your home from hypothetical parasite carriers, namely rats and mice. If they live in your basements or between the walls, be prepared that you will have to learn how to deal with ticks in your area very soon. Pets that cannot indifferently pass by a pile of garbage or an unclean fellow are also at risk. Therefore, upon returning from a walk, always wash your pets thoroughly.
  • Protect your area from the penetration of wild animals: cats, hedgehogs, hares, dogs, etc. Otherwise, expect blood-thirsty “guests” from the nearest forest or neighboring areas.
  • Keep pests out of your area. Ticks can enter your territory on their own, without resorting to the help of “living vehicles,” for example, through the grass growing on the sides of the paths leading to your house. A meter-wide protective strip around the site, lined with gravel or sawdust, will help to avoid unscheduled visits.
  • Carefully inspect any plants brought in from outside. Grass, hay, and even an unremarkable dandelion may cause you to need an area tick treatment.
  • Plant tick-killing plants near your home. Have you heard about the game “Plants vs. Zombies”? In real life, it could easily be remade into Plants vs. Ticks. It is enough for plants with a high content of natural insecticides to appear on the site, and the creeping bloodsuckers will change their minds about attacking it. A striking example of such defenders is chamomile, or rather its Persian, Caucasian and Dalmatian varieties.
  • Reduce the humidity in the area as much as possible. If fire safety barrels are installed within the area, try to keep them tightly sealed at all times and change the water at least once a week.
  • When watering a large area (to avoid accumulations of puddles), use sprinkler systems instead of a hose.

If it was not possible to avoid the appearance of pests, do not hesitate - dial the number, and the “Unified Sanitary Service” will immediately come to your aid. With our help, treating your area from ticks and mosquitoes will not take up your time or effort. And your loved ones will be reliably protected from all threats caused by these pests.

Appeal to professionals

The only truly effective way to get rid of mosquitoes, as well as flies, gadflies, ticks, and mosquitoes today remains professional treatment of areas of any size. Specialists permanently destroy not only adult insects, but also their larvae and eggs. This is achieved through the use of specialized equipment and chemicals. Arriving at the site, they examine the territory, identifying the most “inhabited” areas, and offer the owners various solutions. Typically, treatment does not take long, allowing residents to quickly return to their normal routine.

The most affordable disinfestation option is to use a cold fog generator. The principle of operation is to spray special preparations under high pressure, due to which a dense cloud of tiny particles of water and insecticide is formed. With the help of directed influence it is possible to treat every millimeter of the territory.

The result is the death of insects, and the effect becomes noticeable within 24 hours. This method is considered reliable because it is used only once per month or season. It depends on the potency of the chosen drug.

Acaricidal treatment: methods, methods, effectiveness

When mentioning specific acaricidal agents, we mean contact interaction with ticks or other pests. According to the principle of influence, they have significant differences. Which the specialist knows about. Therefore, when choosing the most effective drug, be sure to take this into account.

Fumigant is one of the means of action against ticks and harmful insects. As a rule, they use the cold/hot fog method, which envelops the area in a poisonous gas. The effectiveness of the method lies in the fact that the gaseous cloud is heavier than air, and therefore settles on the ground, penetrating into the soil where both adults and their offspring live at varying degrees of development.

For such acaricidal treatment, for example, of grain in which the mite has infested, a potent drug phosphine is used (based on magnesium phosphide). This broad-spectrum toxic chemical is converted into gas at a certain humidity and temperature. Actively influencing the adult individual, it disrupts the biochemical state of laid eggs and larvae, destroying fermentation, paralyzing the nervous system. What causes the pest to die along with the future generation.

Methyl bromide has a similar effect. Its effect on eggs of insects and arachnids is more pronounced. But the effectiveness against the adult imago is less than we would like. Therefore, with the advent of Phosphine and specific drugs, it almost went out of use.
