Ward off Spring Pests with Organic Insecticides

by KariewithaK on March 31, 2010

Now that Spring has officially sprung and the warmer weather is well on her way, the dormant and pesky pests of summer begin to creep out. Where I live in Arizona, insects, bugs, ants, and the all despised mosquito run rampant in the spring and summer. I despise bugs. With a wrath of passion I cannot stand bugs. Especially ants.

ecosmart Ward off Spring Pests with Organic InsecticidesI searched the net high and low for a natural ant killer and the best I could find was cornmeal. Even then, the little buggers were back. I tried cinnamon, water, whatever I could find that was non toxic.

Why non-toxic you ask? Well with my kids running around everywhere, since this is their home too, and an English Bulldog, I needed pest control that I felt comfortable using around them, but effective enough to eliminate my exoskeleton enemy.

EcoSMART is a fabulous company that prides itself in making organic insecticides, among other products, that are safe to use  in and around your home, children, and pets. Not only do they pride themselves in their non-toxic product, it really works!

You too can have this wonderful product in your home to use around your children, animals, everything, without fear of calling poison control! Visit EcoSMART and tell me what products you could use in your home?

We need the ant and roach killer- living in the south the roaches are everywhere, but my cats make me scared to use regular bug sprays.

I like EcoSmart products the garden fungicide and flying insect sprays are so useful at this time of year.

I could use EcoSMART’s Garden Insect Killer. I love growing tomatoes but the stink bugs are such a nuisance that I didn’t even grow any last year. I hate using commercial insecticide due to concerns about its toxicity. jgs0925 at gmail dot com
