If you want to protect your property with natural tick control methods, then you need to know about the services offered by Kinder Spray
Natural tick control is valuable to have in densely-wooded areas across Massachusetts and throughout most areas in New England. There are two main reasons for this. First, it is important to protect against ticks because of the health problems associated with the diseases they carry, like Lyme Disease. Second, natural tick control protects your family, friends, pets, and entire ecosystems from synthetic chemicals that can be hazardous to the health and wellbeing of all living creatures.
Higher populations of ticks on your property increase the the risk of Lyme Disease existing around your home. And according to some local publications like the Boston Globe, the tick populations around New England have been growing in recent years.
One way to deal with rising tick populations is to maintain your yard by keeping the grass short and disposing of brush or leaf litter in any densely-wooded area. However, those actions won’t always be enough, because other factors contribute to spikes in tick populations. For instance, an increase in rodents — particularly mice and chipmunks — also leads to the proliferation of ticks. Furthermore, certain types of bumper crops can lead to higher numbers of ticks, too. In New England we’ve seen this happen most recently with acorns.

Kinder Spray offers natural tick control solutions
Our organic pest control services use all-natural cedar oil, which is great for interrupting and impairing a tick’s ability to function properly. While incapacitated, the exoskeletons of the tick begin to dehydrate. This process begins as soon as the tick comes into contact with the active ingredients in our treatment solution. This can lead to a significant reduction in tick populations within hours to days.
Why you should use natural tick control solutions instead of synthetic chemical pesticides
Research has been conducted on the use of chemical pesticides and how they impact the environment. We think sharing that information with you is the best way to show how natural tick control methods are a safer and smarter option for the health and well-being of the entire environment.
This research comes from a study entitled, “Impact of pesticides use in agriculture: their benefits and hazards”. The conclusion of the research states:
“Pesticides are often considered a quick, easy, and inexpensive solution for controlling weeds and insect pests in urban landscapes. However, pesticide use comes at a significant cost. Pesticides have contaminated almost every part of our environment. Pesticide residues are found in soil and air, and in surface and ground water across the countries, and urban pesticide uses contribute to the problem. Pesticide contamination poses significant risks to the environment and non-target organisms ranging from beneficial soil microorganisms, to insects, plants, fish, and birds.“
There is a conundrum here; people want to protect themselves from disease-carrying insects like ticks and mosquitos, but they go about it by using chemical solutions which can be even more damaging. The article continues with a recommendation for targeting harmful pests while protecting the environment at the same time. “The best way to reduce pesticide contamination (and the harm it causes) in our environment is for all of us to do our part to use safer, non-chemical pest control (including weed control) methods.”
