Control Pests the Natural Way
Insects perform vital functions in their ecosystems, from pollinating flowers to helping break down dead plant matter. In your home, however, insects are just a nuisance. Our pest control specialists can keep insects where they belong by applying environmentally friendly materials around the perimeter of your house.

Natural Pest Control You Can Feel Good About
On a regular basis, we apply a protective barrier around your home. You will feel better knowing we use biological and biorational materials that are safer for your family and pets. This also eliminates the need for a pest control company to spray the perimeter.
Natural Pest Control vs. Synthetic Pest Control
Insect damage on lawns can be prevented by using controls that come from nature (such as biological and biorational controls) or those that come from chemical synthesis (man-made pesticides). At NaturaLawn of America, we use natural methods to control pests on lawns whenever possible because they tend to have fewer unintended consequences than synthetic controls. Synthetic pest controls typically have negative effects on both beneficial as well as turf-damaging insects.
Biological Pest Controls
Milky Spore, Nematodes and BT (Bacillus thuringiensis) are biological controls. They are living materials that can attack and deter insects.
Biorational Pest Controls
NEEM (oil extract), pyrethrum (extract from chrysanthemums) and insecticidal soaps (derived from fatty acids) are some examples of biorational controls. They are non-living materials, but they are also not man-made synthetic chemical pesticides. Biorational pest controls generally affect insects in one of three ways:
- Presenting the insect from maturing to adulthood by disrupting the molting phase.
- Deterring insects from a usual food source because the biorational makes it taste bad,
- Killing the insect if it ingests a sufficient quantity of the biorational agent.
