Natural Tick Control Service
Kills and repels ticks naturally
Safe for your family, pets and the environment
Non toxic
Environmentally friendly
Synthetic pesticides have the potential to cause issues with ground water, off target wildlife, can cause pesticide resistance, along with many other issues.
Aromatic
Customers often comment on how great their yard smells after the treatment is done.
Below is the label of the product that I am currently using:
Safe for pollinators
The main ingredient in your natural spray applications (cedarwood oil) affects mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests mainly by interfering with their pheromone systems (octopamine). This causes problems with their breathing, reproduction, movement and many other bodily functions.
Bees and butterflies don’t use octopamine neurotransmitters in the same way, so they are not affected.
As an added precaution, flowers aren’t sprayed directly. Shrubs and landscaping are sprayed but flowering shrubs and flowers are not, just to protect pollinators from being blasted by the high powered mist blower.
Permethrin, which is the most commonly used pesticide for controlling mosquitoes is highly toxic to bees and butterflies. Chemical pesticides not only kill on contact, but also leave a residual that can kill pollinators when they land on a surface that was treated.
Organic Tick control
Targeted areas
This natural tick spray for your yard will target ticks’ habitats. The process begins by treating the perimeter of your property, creating a protective barrier between your lawn and the tall grasses, brush or wooded areas where ticks live. Special attention is given to high-traffic areas such as landscaping beds, shrubs, around sheds, retaining walls, patios, shady areas, under trees, or any places you, your family, or pets frequent, as well as any areas you request or that are deemed critical. The entire lawn is not sprayed since ticks and mosquitoes generally do not stay in mowed areas of grass exposed to the sun.
Thorough treatments
A common complaint about other companies is that their technicians do one quick pass and are gone in less than 5 minutes. That’s not the kind of service you’ll get with Eco Turf & Tick. All areas will be treated properly.
Treated area re-entry
It is recommended to let the treated area dry first before children and pets re-enter the area, so I advise my customers to give it 20-30 minutes to dry. The same product used also comes in a personal protection spray that can be used on skin and clothing. So it is not toxic but can cause minor irritation in cats and dogs when wet.
Resistant to rain in 30 minutes
Ticks that make contact with the treatment during application will begin dying over the next 24 hours. After this initial knockdown, the product will function as a repellent for the next 3-4 weeks. As long as it has sufficient time to dry, about 30 minutes, the repellent will still remain effective. A spreader sticker made from pine sap (pinene) is also added to extend the effectiveness of the application.
Safe to spray around play areas
