Control of ixodid ticks by means of pheromones and acaricidal preparation

The article describes a method for catching arthropods, i.e., for collecting and counting ticks, and can be used for collecting ixodid ticks in natural biotopes and counting their number. In another aspect, the present study additionally relates to a method for killing ticks, using an agent with a mixture of pheromone and acaricidal agents for protection against ticks in natural and urban biotopes. The paper presents the action of the pheromone-deltamethrin complex on ixodid ticks, which are known to be usually parasitic on animals. During the study, a preparation with the active ingredient deltamethrin was chosen as an acaricide because deltamethrin is the main drug currently used for tick control. Moreover, deltamethrin is not a repellent and therefore will not affect the response of ticks to pheromones.
