Sparky's Safe Lawn Tip - See insects as messengers

As we near the summer months (we're sure), your lawn is just looking fantastic.  Flush with emerald green, lush grassy roots...and the pitter-patter of 4/6/8-legged friends? 


If you've used synthetic pesticides, chances are you're going to see an influx of predatory insects.  Such visitors, however, are rarely an issue in natural and organic-treated lawns. 

They're just part of the overall balance of your lawn's ecosystem.



Typical predatory insects
Most often, you'll see:
  • Rove beetles
  • Spiders
  • Ants
  • Wasps
Plant nutrients
As stated earlier, these beneficial insects and soil microorganisms are essential to the natural breakdown of organic matter into plant available nutrients.  Just a big circle of life. 

The Better Way to Organic- and Organic-Based Lawn Care
At Natural Turf, we understand this precious ecosystem.  Ask us about our natural Pest Control Program - and help you and your lawn realize their natural beauty.  We look forward to hearing from you!
