In the summer, many of us strive to spend time in nature, but encountering ticks can ruin the entire experience. Although many products have been tested, finding a truly effective repellent can be difficult. But this summer we found a way to avoid unpleasant encounters with these insects. An acquaintance who works as a forest ranger shared with us the secrets of what ticks cannot stand.

Here’s what really helps repel ticks:

1. With Vain.

Vanillin, which is often used in cooking, does not repel ticks, so it is best to use natural vanilla oil or vanilla beans. To create an infusion, take a few vanilla beans per liter of water, bring to a boil and leave to infuse. Before going out into nature, apply the infusion to your skin, first checking for allergies.
