Ticks are one of those pests you want to avoid having in your yard to protect both family members and pets. These bloodsucking insects can pass on dangerous diseases from host to host when they latch onto skin.
One of the best methods for repelling ticks in your yard is choosing plants that these little critters are naturally deterred by. Like mosquito repellent plants and snail repellent plants, there are lots of plants that ticks can't stand - largely due to aromas that set off their sensitive sense of smell.
