Tips and Techniques

Soil testing

We never guess, we always test. Conventional programs tell us to apply fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides in “steps” without even knowing if there is a reason. The soil tells us exactly what we need to sustain a healthy lawn. By taking samples of the soil and sending them to be analyzed we can accurately see the condition of the soil and amend as necessary. The test can tell us if the soil is too acid, or if there is not enough of a certain nutrient.

Organic Mosquito and Tick Control Management

Introducing a better way to manage mosquito and ticks organically! Pure Lawns is offering a unique and effective barrier spray that is derived from garlic, cedar oil and an effective blend of botanical oils. Unlike most garlic only sprays, our blend has a faint pleasant aroma that fades away in just hours. We have run trials and experimented over the last 2 seasons and we have received positive feedback and had success at home using our method.

The Science

Parasitic insects like mosquito & ticks have receptors that they use to locate a host. The natural oil blocks those receptors, making the insect “blind”. The botanicals in the spray create a barrier around the perimeter of the property which deters the mosquito and ticks from entering the area.

The Application

We recommend a minimum of 3 visits to the property spread out over the peak times when mosquito and ticks are most active. We make it a point to treat areas that are common breeding areas, or places that attract the insects. Wood piles, thick brush, under porches and any damp area are all places that are attractive to mosquito and ticks.

Education

Our Organic mosquito & tick manager is a safe and effective way to combat the problem, but there are many other things that can be done to assist in reducing the amount of insect pressure. We will walk the property and point out any problem areas that can be creating a habitat for mosquito’s & ticks and suggest ways to resolve those issues.
