Don't "Bug" the Planet with Toxic Chemicals
No one wants pests like ants, fruit flies and roaches, crawling on kitchen countertops.  It's also hard to enjoy your yard when there are flies, gnats, mosquitoes, aphids and other annoying yard pest. Don't settle on letting bugs take over. If you want a chemical free yard and home look at going "green".

What Makes It Green?
Nasty chemical pesticides can pose an immediate treat to more than just the bugs in our homes and yards.  Our family and pets also come into contact with these chemicals.  Exposure to pesticides has been linked to a long list of diseases and health problems: Parkinson's, infertility, cancer, birth defects, encephalitis, and lymphoma, just to name a few.  Why expose your loved ones to toxic chemicals when the same job can be done all naturally?  

Another reason to consider an organic pest control solution is for the planet's sake.  Fish and wildlife are poisoned by the chemicals when they run off into streams, creeks, lakes and rivers.  

What You Can Do

Neem oil is a natural control for many insects, mites, and fungi. It is pressed from the seed of the Neem tree, native to eastern India and Burma, and has been used for 4,000 years as a medicinal herb and insect repellent.
