Why Choose Organic Tick Control?

If you’re trying to control your exposure to ticks and current organic methods tout an 80-90% kill rate while the traditional synthetic chemical pesticides can get closer to 100% then why choose organic? Simply, the biggest benefit here is about what we’re NOT killing or poisoning! PLUS the organic cedar oil we use has a post-treatment resistance factor that slows down repopulation.

Here are some unwanted side-effects of using chemically engineered tick control pesticides that do not apply to our organic methods:

•Harm to Non-Target Species: Broad spectrum pesticides kill not only ticks but most other bugs including beneficials and pollinators like bees and butterflies.

•Impact on Birds, Wildlife, and Livestock: Pesticides can enter the food chain, affecting birds and other wildlife that consume contaminated insects.

•Water Contamination: Long Island’s high water table leaves us vulnerable to toxic pesticide leeching and runoff which can harm aquatic wildlife and contaminate drinking water sources.

•Human and Pet Exposure: Sprayed pesticides can pose risks to humans and pets through direct contact or inhalation. Pesticide residues on treated surfaces may also be transferred to people and pets. Do your kids or pets play on your lawn?

Our organic applications target ticks, fleas, and mosquitos leaving other species and beneficials to do their thing. Organic cedar oil breaks down naturally, so it does not persist in the food chain, water, or soil systems. When considering your options, make the right choice for your family, your neighborhood, and your environment. Choose organic.
