Place where the ticks roles:
Rural residential land with garden, direct access to agricultural meadow (ergo: a paradise for all creeping and crawling)
The roles I discovered by accident at the hardware store, and immediately taken to the trial I had to get it.
In the package, the roles and an instruction manual were. The latter I resolved first before the rollers were used.
The distribution was done quickly, the wheels simply and invisible could be hiding under bushes, hedges and trees. And I've paid particular attention to the fact that the distances between the rollers in no case were greater than specified in the instructions to ensure that no gaps could occur. Also, I have chosen as possible places where I had already discovered mice tracks in winter, or where our cats have their preferred hunting grounds.
Lo and behold, a few days after laying the rolls were the cats completely free from ticks and stayed there the whole summer (!). Even when mowing the lawn or cutting hedges no one started since a one tick. This has exceeded all expectations. The garden could thus be practically called tick-free.
The mode of operation with mice as an active ingredient Transmitter I find very interesting, a healthy ecosystem in the garden is for the success, however, a prerequisite. Who actively decimated simultaneously mice in his garden, may impair the effectiveness of ticks roles.
For cats and mice, the use of roles to be harmless. Here I could not find to the contrary.
According to the manual "acts" involved about 3 months, then a replacement is recommended. I placed the rolls until June and left there until the autumn. Next year I want to lay out the roles earlier and replace accordingly if it is displayed. In any case, it makes sense to check the rolls regularly.
Because here, as with most insecticides, but one (albeit low-dose) is "poison" for use, I advise necessarily to a responsible and proper handling of it. I think it is in this context important to abide by the instructions - for environmental reasons, and also for the best results.
Of the ticks roles I'm thrilled. As I said, the use of next year's planned fixed definitely.
Addendum - Experience 2014 season:
It took much longer until has set the action in the garden. Reason: Around our land around the meadows were mowed until the end of May, when the grass was knee-high long - that of course is not working. It was only when the grass was mowed to the neighboring land, the ticks disappeared within a few days (yes, really!) And we had all summer rest. In this respect, you should definitely consider the additional tips for tick control, then the remedy is actually effective and fast.
Also this year we will again interpret the roles - the times even before the grass shoots up. What comes out, I will then complete any here.
