That's exactly why we carry Jonathan Green Natural Insect Control. It's not just a pesticide — it's a smarter approach to pest management rooted in how plants actually defend themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJonathan Green's scientists took a cue from nature: plants like thyme and wintergreen produce essential oils that disrupt the nervous systems of insects — specifically blocking Octopamine receptors that \u003cem\u003eonly exist in bugs\u003c\/em\u003e. The result? A fast-acting, hard-hitting formula that knocks down and kills over 100 insect pests, while leaving mammals, birds, and fish completely unaffected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat it controls:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Ticks, fleas \u0026amp; chinch bugs\u003cbr\u003e\n– Ants, earwigs \u0026amp; army worms\u003cbr\u003e\n– Spiders, billbugs, beetles \u0026amp; mealybugs\u003cbr\u003e\n– Millipedes and 90+ more lawn \u0026amp; landscape pests\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy it works differently:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– \u003cstrong\u003eKills on contact\u003c\/strong\u003e and keeps repelling — new bugs won't move in after treatment\u003cbr\u003e\n– \u003cstrong\u003ePlant oil-based formula\u003c\/strong\u003e (thyme \u0026amp; wintergreen) — no synthetic chemicals\u003cbr\u003e\n– \u003cstrong\u003eSafe for children and pets\u003c\/strong\u003e to re-enter the treated area immediately after application\u003cbr\u003e\n– \u003cstrong\u003eNo watering needed\u003c\/strong\u003e after application — and that's by design\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to apply:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLawns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use a spreader to uniformly apply 2–5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.
