What Yard Treatment Can Do For You

Did you know that every year, millions of people worldwide avoid spending time outdoors because of common pests? Ironically, we spend considerable time and expense to beautify our lawns, gardens, and outdoor living spaces. Yet, we don’t allow ourselves the satisfaction of genuinely enjoying those spaces because of annoying, uninvited guests: mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, flies, no-see-ums, bees, ants, spiders, caterpillars, etc. These pesky party crashers make it impossible to relax and have fun in our own backyards. No one wants to be swarmed or bitten by hordes of insects. It distracts and diminishes our enjoyment of the outdoor experience, and it goes beyond mere unpleasantness—we are subjected to the hazards these pests pose to our health.

Outdoor Pests And Their Danger To Human Health

Many of the pests that call our property home carry bacteria, viruses, and infectious diseases that can infect us and our pets as well. Just some of the culprits:

Mosquitoes, one of the most irritating pests on the planet, carry everything from the Zika Virus to The West Nile Virus.
Ticks spread Lyme disease and a variety of other nasty parasites and diseases, and even worse, we don’t feel their bite as they latch onto our skin and secrete a numbing agent in their saliva. Often, people don’t even realize a tick has bitten them until weeks later when they become sick.
Fleas, on the other hand, deliver a stinging bite, carry a host of diseases such as typhus and plague, and accidentally swallowing one can give you tapeworms. That happens more often than you might think. Fleas are acrobatic little jumpers that can even leap their way into your mouth.
A horsefly bite is extremely painful and can cause life-threatening allergic reactions. Horseflies can also be tenacious stalkers and dive bombers—once they’ve set their sights on you, they will repeatedly bother you for hours on end.
No-see-ums are black flies (sometimes also called midges or punkies) that are so tiny they are tough to see. They carry diseases and parasites, including worms, and will descend upon you in a swarm of hundreds. Their bite is painful and itchy, and they love to target your face, neck, scalp, eyes, and ears.
Caterpillars might not generally be thought of as dangerous. Still, some species can be toxic, and one in particular, the Puss Caterpillar, is found in the Carolinas and is highly poisonous. Caterpillars can damage trees and vegetation with alarming speed.

Bug Spray Is Not The Answer

It is tempting to slather ourselves with bug spray or bomb our yards with over the counter insecticides when we want to venture outdoors. Those products can be just as dangerous as insect bites. Insect repellents irritate the skin, cause allergic reactions, and are also known to cause nervous system disorders and respiratory problems. Furthermore, many insect species have developed an immunity to commonly used products over time.

Why We Need Time Outdoors

Perhaps you are thinking; I’ll just stay inside—I don’t need to spend much time outdoors. Frankly, nothing could be further from the truth. We need fresh air and sunshine, and our bodies are designed genetically for it. We derive Vitamin D from sunshine. Our immune systems are strengthened through exposure to the natural world. Spending time outdoors improves our mood, our memory, our circulation, and may even speed up our ability to heal.
