What is the least toxic lawn insecticide used to prevent ticks?
I'm looking for the least toxic insecticide I can use on my lawn to prevent ticks. Is there anything that isn't toxic to humans, birds, or beneficial insects (e.g. lady bugs)? Maybe even something organic?
I called one of my local hardware stores, and all they carry is Durzban (chlorpyrifos), which I have found out is being phased out for residential use by the EPA. My other local hardware store only sells Sevin (carbaryl), which is apparently widely known (including admittance by Union Carbide) to kill "beneficials" including ladybugs & honeybees. It has even been accused of being linked with spina bifida & hydrocephalus… I'd almost rather take my chances with lyme desease…
So, bottom line:
Is there a fairly safe lawn insecticide I can use to prevent ticks on my (large) lawn?
If you are in a rural area, buy yourself some guinea chicks. They love to eat small bugs like ticks (but they can be quite a nuisance themselves). Otherwise, I'd live with the ticks. We understand the dangers of lyme disease, but who really knows the hazards of chemical insecticides? Wear avon skin-so-soft as tick repellant and check yourself regularly.
