Think Pure with Pure Solutions

Finding a professional mosquito control company near you is not hard. But finding one that understands your property's unique needs can be a challenge. Here is what to look for when selecting a mosquito control company. 

You’ve lathered up in mosquito repellents, you’ve tried removing all standing water around your home, you light citronella candles, and you even bought an expensive propane mosquito catcher…and yet you still have mosquitos...lots of them. Then it may be time to consider a professional mosquito spray service company. As mosquito (and tick) populations explode across New England, so has the rise of companies that offer services to kill these populations. But the level of service, the products, and the attention to detail varies widely from the larger, national corporate companies to the fly-by-night one-man operators and you need to make sure you engage with a reputable company you trust. 

Although many of us in New England are still hitting the slopes, building snowmen, and wearing parkas when we leave the house the reality is spring is around the corner. Others are already "over it" and are contemplating new garden layouts, spring home improvement projects, and planning the first hikes of the season. But is it really time to start worrying about ticks and the diseases they carry?

It’s a common misconception that ticks hibernate or die in the winter. The reality is that they are always there, waiting for the opportunity to feed (and in many cases spread tick-borne illnesses)

All across New England, winter is here. Ski areas are opening, Christmas is just around the corner, and the leaves are off the trees and on your lawn. Hopefully, by now, you have done a comprehensive cleanup around your home, removing all the leaf litter that ticks love. As we put Summer and Fall in the rearview, it’s easy to think that tick season has passed as well. But don’t be fooled, ticks don’t care about seasons, they only care about temperature, and if there is one thing us New Englanders know, it’s that we can hit temperatures well above freezing all throughout winter. 

Fall is a prime time of year for turf health and renovations. As temps. cool, turf grasses thrive, and fall is the best time to rehab those trouble areas.

It’s been a long, hot summer. Given that many of us are sticking close to home these days, and utilizing our lawns/yards more than ever before, your turf has probably seen better days. Maybe you have had some new yard issues this summer like lawn grubs, snow mold, brown patches, or a project that involved digging up some of your cherished lawn. Whatever may have happened, September is an excellent month to help re-invigorate your lawn and set it up for a healthy winter so it can flourish next Spring. Below are a few lawn care strategies we recommend this fall. 

Our biggest enemy in the pursuit of a healthy organic lawn is crabgrass. It shows up in summer, almost out of the blue when the weather is hot and dry and unaddressed will gradually start to take over. A single plant is capable of producing 150 to 700 tillers and 150,000 seeds.

Our organic tick and mosquito product kills within minutes of contact, the product contains surfactants that help the product stick to surfaces and kill any bugs that land on a treated surface even after a treatment. After rainfall, bug activity increases, and more bugs will be entering your property, so what can you do to repel the bugs that don’t land on treated areas?
