Good Nature "Releases" Natural Mosquito Repellant Just In Time for Hot Summer Months
Online, June 7, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Ever wonder what it would be like to barbeque outside without being eaten alive by mosquitoes? Or to host a yard party and not worry about spraying toxic chemicals on the skin of your guests to keep them bite-free? Natural lawn care products company Good Nature of Cleveland, Akron and Columbus, Ohio are excited to announce the general availability of their highly effective and all-natural product - All-Natural Mosquito, Flea & Tick Repellent - an all-natural mosquito repellant based on a beloved cooking ingredient used in Italian dishes for millennia - garlic.
Alec McClennan, CEO and founder of Good Nature, loves to talk about organic and nature-based treatments and remedies for lawn issues, but also believes in common sense action first. "There are a number of natural ways to combat mosquitoes," explains McClennan with teacherly enthusiasm, "although some are much more time-consuming than others. One we learned a hundred years ago during the building of the Panama Canal was to eliminate the areas where the insects breed. This means draining plastic swimming pools, old tires, flower pot saucers and the like to eliminate areas that can collect water that provides the aquatic medium for mosquitoes to lay eggs upon. Rain gutters should also be kept free of debris so standing water can't accumulate. And the water in bird baths should be changed once a week. Tarps used to cover boats and pools can also collect water. If the pests persist even after following these common sense water removal tips, however, then it's time to repel them."
Enter All-Natural Mosquito, Flea & Tick Repellant
- an age-old natural "trick" and mosquito barrier for keeping mosquitoes and other tiny pests at-bay that McClennan and company now use on their conscientious clients' lawns. The all-natural, environmentally-friendly pest solution features the much-loved vegetable garlic that has been liquefied into its' concentrated juice form which can be easily applied to homeowners' yards for use during garden parties or other outdoor events. This simple insect combating solution is available from Good Nature Organic Lawn Care, whose trained technicians will professionally apply it as a potent mosquito barrier.
The natural spray is said to repel pesky mosquitoes and other bugs from a yard for about three weeks (depending on the amount of rainfall). In use for a number of years, the garlic treatment has been well received. Although the scent of garlic lingers in the human nose for just a few hours, mosquitoes have a sense of smell 10,000 times more delicate than humans and can sense the smell for a number of weeks, keeping them out of the backyard fun while kids, pets and adults can frolic and socialize undeterred by the annoying insects' blood-thirsty ways.
"Good Nature has found that spraying just prior to each of the popular summer holidays...Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day...limits the appearance of uninvited insect guests at family gatherings tremendously," McClennan confides. "The company will also protect homeowners' yards for the entire summer season with four treatments of the spray administered during 4 different visits. That way, families can always keep on the grass!"
