Aside from our Lawn care and Tree & Shrub Programs, Nature’s Select also offers some pest control problems for your yard.

Mosquito Barrier Let Nature’s Select take the “bite” out of Spring and Summer outdoor activities with our Organic Mosquito Barrier Program. Using a combination of products to kill live mosquitoes, mosquito eggs, and a garlic based repellant that lasts approximately thirty days, Nature’s Select can reduce populations by 90%. This program is a great way to protect your children, pets, and all those you love from these biting pests, without harsh chemicals! Four applications from May through September will help you take back control of your recreational areas.

Vole Treatments Voles are small mice-like mammals that live in field and shrub habitats.  Voles can cause damage by eating flower bulbs, girdling the stems of woody plants, and gnawing roots.  Plants not killed outright may be invaded by diseases or die from water stress during periods of drought.  Left unchecked, voles can cause major damage to ornamental landscapes. The most effective control for voles is to locate their runways and apply a baited rodenticide.  Several applications may be necessary to achieve control.  After this is achieved, the infested area should be checked twice annually, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Moles Treatments Moles are small, thick-bodied mammals that live underground.  They use their front paws and forelegs like shovels to scoop out the earth in order to build homes and find food.  Moles eat mainly grubs, worms, and insects.  It is their digging and tunneling in search of food that ruins lawns and gardens.  The control of moles is a difficult challenge.  First, they are a protected species, and a permit from the state must be obtained prior to their removal.  An indirect control procedure is to apply a soil insecticide to reduce the grub population, in turn causing the mole to look for food elsewhere.

Japanese Beetles The Japanese Beetle is a highly destructive plant pest.  With proper IPM (Integrative Pest Management) spraying, these pests can be controlled.  The spraying will not eliminate the insects, but rather reduce the level of damage to the affected plants.  It is important to control this pest before it causes major plant damage, or possibly destroys your shrubs and plants.
