If essential oils and natural ingredients can keep them away, it makes sense to think that certain plants themselves can actually act as living deterrents. Chrysanthemums are often regarded as one of the best horticultural tools in the tick war – containing Pyrethrin, a natural insecticidal compound.
Bonus points also go to lavender plants, peppermint, eucalyptus, garlic, sage… The list goes on. Basically, pick an essential oil and work your way backward to the plant it came from.
Why not combine this with the earlier garden maintenance tips? Whenever you uproot an unkempt shrub, replace it with a plant you know will actively work against any tick invaders!
