- Insecticides are powerless in the garden - this home remedy will help
- Plague is short-lived
- Garden sheds and tool sheds become flea-free zones
When fleas become a nuisance in the garden, you are dealing with a rare phenomenon that usually occurs in spring. Since the main hosts of the bloodsuckers are still in hibernation or out of the country, the tiny parasites make do with humans as substitute hosts. Combat options are limited. Here's how to do it correctly.
Fleas are mainly brought in by pets and garden animals
Insecticides are powerless in the garden - this home remedy will help
Indoor flea control products are ineffective when used outdoors. In order to fight the biting bloodsuckers in the garden, plagued gardeners resort to a proven household remedy. To do this, fill several deep plates with soapy water and place a candle in the middle. With this flea trap, at least the adult pests can be attracted and drowned in droves.
The only disadvantage of this control method is that you have to keep an eye on a trap with a burning candle at all times.
Plague is short-lived
Flea traps at least reduce the maximum infestation pressure in the garden. Since the bloodsuckers pounce on their main hosts as soon as they appear on the scene, they usually do not suffer from the plague for longer than 4 to 6 weeks. This is how you reduce the itching suffering until birds, hedgehogs, moles and colleagues colonize the garden:
- Wear rubber boots, long pants and gloves for all gardening work
- Spray exposed areas of skin with Autan
- Wash the clothes immediately or put them in a plastic bag in the freezer
- Keep children and pets out of the garden during this time
Garden sheds and tool sheds become flea-free zones
When a plague of fleas rages in the garden, the pests don't stop at the garden shed (€24.90) and tool shed. At this infestation point you are not defenseless against the bloodsuckers. The Neudo-Antiflea preparation fights fleas with natural ingredients. One liter of the spray destroys all adult fleas as well as their eggs and larvae in an area of 15 square meters.
tips
To prevent fleas in the garden in winter, all abandoned nests should be disposed of. Also, thoroughly clean nest cavities and nest boxes, as this is where the beasts hibernate. Please put the nesting material in the household waste and not in the compost.
