Tick Control in 2017 - You have less toxic options!
by Joe Magazzi

Green Earth Ag & Turf has your
non-toxic tick and mosquito solutions to provide you, your family and your pets
with comfort and peace of mind to enjoy outdoor fall activities in your yard. Tick Killz is a wonderful product that
our professional applicators have used
successfully for many seasons; it is now
also available for home owners to apply themselves
as well on our on-line webstore, GrowItNaturally.com. Tick Killz is made from organic ingredients -
Cedar Oil, Peppermint Oil and 2-Phenthyl Propionate (or guava extract, a
natural compound also found in many foods) that have been proven to work by
scientific studies. Tick Killz
eliminates ticks, fleas, gnats and other nuisance insects on contact, is highly
concentrated (1 ounce covers 5,000 square feet), provides up to 30 days of
residual repellency benefits, can be used on the entire property (including
lawns, shrubs, beds - wherever insects dwell, dries clear and won't stain
foundations, pavers, patios, etc...
MosquitoCure was tested by many of our
professional applicators for mosquito pressure this season and has been found
to be, by far, the best option for the organic landscaper. Made from organic
ingredients (Lemongrass Oil, Citronella Oil, Cedarwood Oil, Rosemary Oil, Garlic
Oil, Red Thyme Oil), this unique mixture of active ingredients is better than any
of the individual ingredients alone.
MosquitoCure’s
ingredients are deemed so safe by the EPA that the product is 25(b) Exempt from
pesticide registration. Highly
concentrated (1 ounce can cover up to 11,000 square feet), and extremely effective, with up to 4 week residual coverage; MosquitoCure is an excellent choice for schools, summer
camps, playgrounds or areas where there are children or laws which prohibit pesticide
applications. It can be applied via
backpack blower/sprayer or high pressure spray and is highly concentrated (1
gallon treats 11 acres). Mosquito Cure is available for professionals and homeowners
by calling us at (866) 374-5101 or e-mailing us: info@GreenEarthAgAndTurf.com. MosquitoCure
is not yet registered in all 50 states.
For personal protection, we offer Nature's Cloak Mosquito and TickRepellent. This product not only keeps the bugs away, but it smells wonderful,
too! The CDC and Consumer Reports recommends natural repellents containing
lemon eucalyptus oil, which is the major active ingredient found in Nature's Cloak mosquito and tick repellent. It
can be applied directly to a person to repel mosquitoes on walks, camping
trips, and any time you find yourself around those nasty insects. This non-greasy formula can be sprayed directly
on your skin or on clothing. Enjoy peace of mind with a great smelling,
non-toxic and non-synthetic tick and mosquito repellent!
