[RP TownTalk] tick control?

[Nancy Augustine]

But wouldn't an insecticide also kill off the beneficial insects?  I've avoided using any because I want to keep my worms and (very few) ladybugs, and don't much want to kill off the other multi-legged creatures that live in my yard.

Sarah,
The website Clean Air Gardening has a variety of organic pest control 
options.  We used their Green Light Organic Lawn and Garden Spray last week 
and noticed a huge reduction in insects in our backyard.  It's made to deal 
with a wide variety of insects, including mosquitos, ants, and ticks, and it 
should be safe for your cats.  Plus, their customer service is great if you 
have any questions.
