Organic Mosquito and Tick Control<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not long ago, homeowners and companies that offer landscaping \u00a0Massachusetts<\/a> would keep mosquitoes and other insects away by spraying powerful poisons. However, more attention than ever is being paid to the risks associated with these products. In particular, there is worry that they can be harmful to pets, children, and even adults who are exposed to them over many years. As a result, we are seeing increased interest in organic mosquito and tick control solutions. Luckily, we offer a number of all-natural products that work just as well as the traditional solutions did.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping Bugs Away Isn\u2019t Just About Comfort<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

When most North Shore homeowners think about pests, they imagine small bites and an annoying buzzing sound in their ear. However, bites from mosquitoes and ticks can be more serious. Lyme disease is a huge public health concern. During the warmer months ticks slip into hair and clothing. Mosquitoes carry numerous diseases throughout the world. Mosquito bites\u00a0are worse for animals than they are to humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cedar Oil Can be an Especially Potent Insect Repellent<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are several different organic mosquito and tick control products at our disposal. The most common and effective we use is cedar oil. Taken from trees, it is naturally toxic to ticks and mosquitoes but completely harmless to humans and pets. Not only is it an all-natural alternative to traditional insect poison, but it also brings a calming aroma that is used in some kinds of therapy. In other words, it does the same job that poison would, but with much more pleasant side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n
