Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our treatments are designed to help control and repel common Northwoods pests, including mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, Asian beetles, and ants.

  • Yes. Our treatments are plant-based and non-toxic when applied as directed. They’re designed to be safe for children and pets, allowing families to enjoy their outdoor spaces without the use of harsh chemicals. We apply treatments thoughtfully and intentionally—never more than needed.

  • Our plant-based treatments are powered by cedarwood oil, which works by targeting octopamine—a compound that is essential to the nervous systems of pheromone-driven pests such as ticks and fleas. By disrupting this process, the treatment helps repel and control these pests naturally.

    Beneficial insects, including bees and butterflies, do not rely on octopamine in the same way for their vital systems. Because of this difference, they are not affected by the treatment as targeted pests are.

    Independent laboratory testing has confirmed that any residue remaining after application is not harmful to beneficial insects, including honey bees, butterflies, and lady beetles—allowing effective pest control while preserving the balance of the surrounding ecosystem.

  • Immediately. Our plant-based treatments require no dry time, so kids and pets can return to the yard right after application.

  • Our plant-based outdoor treatments are safe to use around lakes, ponds, and other outdoor water features when applied as directed. To protect fish and other aquatic life, we avoid spraying directly into water, as sudden changes in water composition can be stressful to aquatic ecosystems.

    This approach allows us to provide effective pest control while remaining mindful of the delicate balance of the Northwoods environment.

  • Treatment frequency depends on the package you choose. We offer one-time event treatments, monthly seasonal treatments, and bi-weekly treatments for maximum protection. We’ll help you choose the option that best fits your yard and how you use it.

  • No. As long as we have access to your yard, you do not need to be home during treatment. We’ll let you know when service is scheduled and follow up once the application is complete.

  • We proudly serve Lake Tomahawk, Minocqua, Arbor Vitae, Woodruff, and St. Germain. To ensure consistent quality and personal care, our services are currently available within approximately 20 minutes of Lake Tomahawk. If you’re outside this area, you’re welcome to join our waitlist as we plan for future expansion.

  • Our plant-based treatments use cedarwood oil as the primary active ingredient, along with naturally derived supporting ingredients that help the formula work effectively and apply evenly.

    Active Ingredients:

    • Cedarwood Oil (40.42%) – derived from Texas and Virginiana cedar trees

    • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (3.50%) – derived from coconut and/or palm oil

    • Sesame Oil (8.74%) – derived from sesame seeds

    Other Ingredients:

    • Water

    • Glyceryl monooctanoate

    • Decanoic acid (a naturally occurring fatty acid)

    • Monoester with 1,2,3-propanetriol (plant-derived soap component)

    These ingredients work together to help control and repel pests while remaining plant-based and non-toxic when applied as directed.

    We’re committed to using solutions that are effective, responsibly sourced, and aligned with our values of protecting families, pets, and the Northwoods environment.
