Your lawn is a living ecosystem — and it deserves protection that works with nature, not against it.
At Mackey's, we believe healthy soil and a thriving lawn shouldn't come at the cost of your kids, your pets, or the birds and beneficial insects that make your yard come alive. 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.
Jonathan 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 only exist in bugs. 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.
What it controls:
– Ticks, fleas & chinch bugs
– Ants, earwigs & army worms
– Spiders, billbugs, beetles & mealybugs
– Millipedes and 90+ more lawn & landscape pests
Why it works differently:
– Kills on contact and keeps repelling — new bugs won't move in after treatment
– Plant oil-based formula (thyme & wintergreen) — no synthetic chemicals
– Safe for children and pets to re-enter the treated area immediately after application
– No watering needed after application — and that's by design
How to apply:
Lawns: Use a spreader to uniformly apply 2–5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. Re-apply every 2–4 weeks or as needed.
Landscapes (Ornamentals & Flowers): Apply 1–2 lbs. per 500 sq. ft. using a handheld spreader or gloved hand. Re-apply every 4–6 weeks.
Home Foundations: Apply a 2 ft. wide band along the foundation — 1–2 lbs. per 500 linear feet. Focus under mulch and around landscaping. Re-apply every 2–4 weeks.
For severe infestations, use the higher rate. Re-apply after heavy rainfall as needed.
