Lawn Doctor/Borer

What is Lawn Doctor/Borer?

Lawn Doctor is a line of pest control products designed to manage lawn and garden pests, while Borer refers to insecticides used to combat wood-boring pests like termites and beetles. These products are commonly applied to prevent damage to crops, trees, and ornamental plants.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Lawn Doctor and Borer products typically contain chemical insecticides, which can cause skin irritation, respiratory distress, and allergic reactions upon exposure. Symptoms may include dizziness, nausea, headaches, and in some cases, more serious reactions like shortness of breath or allergic asthma. Repeated exposure to certain ingredients can result in neurological damage or reproductive toxicity.

What can I do about it?

To minimize risks, wear protective gloves, goggles, and a mask when applying these products. Use them according to manufacturer instructions, and avoid overuse to reduce chemical exposure. If you experience reactions, consider using eco-friendly pest control methods, such as introducing natural predators or using diatomaceous earth.
