Organic insecticides for home use

18th.Nov.2008 by Patti | 1

When it rains we get ants. Often MANY ants… inside and outside.

We’ve been using a citrus based spray and were fairly pleased with it. Recently I was contacted by the manufacturer of a new line of organic insecticides for home use: EcoSmart. They offer an Ant & Roach spray, a Flying Insect spray, a Wasp & Hornet spray and an Insect Repellent application.

Their products use natural oils like peppermint, wintergreen, cinnamon, and rosemary and are safe to use around kids and pets.

I tried the ant spray inside. It definitely worked… quickly. While the smell was pleasant rather then chemical, it was a bit strong.

They also have a blog with an extraordinary amount of insect information.

If you’re looking for a safe insecticide solution you may want to try out their products. The website will give you a list of retailers in/near your zip code.
