How to get rid of ticks in yard naturally: When eliminating ticks at any cost just isn’t an option

There are plenty of ways to rid your property of ticks—some methods are more effective than others, but it’s important to remember that effective and safe aren’t mutually exclusive. Many people use any method they can find for pest control without fully considering the potential dangers of the solution. Of course, no one wants ticks or other pests in their yard, but no one wants to put themselves or their loved ones in harms way to do so. There are methods that can be devastating to ticks, mosquitoes and other pests, but if you learn how to get rid of ticks in yard naturally, you can give yourself a peaceful space without exposing yourself and your family to potential added dangers.

Pest Control to Avoid

One popular method of pest control that comes with its share of dangers is permethrin. In typical use, it is dangerous to have direct skin contact with permethrin. It is even suggested to spray permethrin on your clothes or camping equipment and let it dry before use to lower risks of side-effects, but that kind of preparation can sometimes be difficult or impossible. 

Permethrin is also found in some yard sprays to prevent ticks, but the dangers are vast. The potential problems permethrin can create include general skin irritation, itching, and burning, all the way to digestive problems, nausea, dizziness, and vomiting.

You may wonder why such a method is still an option at all. Luckily, there are natural methods that don’t bring up these same concerns, and are just as—if not more!—effective as using permethrin.‘
