Your lawns are natural things, so why should you feel tempted to spray them with some very decidedly unnatural pesticides and herbicides?
Many people might feel overwhelmed at the sheer amount of toxic chemicals available on the market today, but the truth is that you can easily use equally effective natural fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides to get the job done.
Most of these natural materials are totally nontoxic, especially at the levels they are commonly used at. Household products like vinegar are great natural lawn care products, although there are certainly many more to choose from.
Natural lawn care products pose no health risks, and they are very specific in what types of organisms they attack. While other natural lawn care products like vinegar are great for a variety of uses, there are different types of bacteria that you can employ to have more specific targeting of your lawn problems. Milky Spore Disease might have a menacing name, but it works to remove infestations in your yard at the cellular level. Other organisms like Bacillus thuringiensis and beneficial fungus pathogens also destroy invaders at the microscopic level while posing absolutely no health risk to humans, pets, and your favorite plants.

With no health risks, you might be tempted to say that the best lawn care products are completely natural. Certainly, beneficial nematodes might make the average person slightly queasy, but they get the job done. These tiny worms burrow in the soil and attack the larvae of various insects like ants, termites, and Japanese beetles. After injecting the larvae with toxic (to the larvae) chemicals, they wait for the larvae to die before eating them. In this way, natural lawn care products often take care of problems before they can grow up, and once they have consumed all of the insect larvae in your lawn, the beneficial nematodes die off.
Fortunately, all of your lawn problems can be taken care of with natural lawn care products. Take care of weeds, fungal infestations, insects, and grass of poor quality without using synthetic substances that can be toxic to you and your pets. That’s not to say that the health risks posed by synthetic materials are overly large. In fact, most unnatural products are dispersed over such a large area that they don’t pose a health risk, although the chance is always there, however small. If you want to take care of your lawn without the fear of developing an illness, then natural lawn care products are the perfect fit.
