Looking for a safe and effective way to rid your home of pesky ants, roaches, wasps and hornets? Hopefully, here’s a way to kill those pests without harming your self, your children, pets or environment — with botanical-based, ecoSMART. Made with organic essential oils such as clove and thyme (and ingredients that are Generally Recognized as Safe by the US FDA), this eco friendly line apparently smells like Tiger Balm. Note: we have not tried it.
This heady mix blocks insects’ neuroreceptors, causing their ultimate demise. After 15 years of development and $15 million in R&D investment, we can now purchase these non-toxic insecticides for under $4 a can.
New to the market, it’s currently available at select Wal-Marts in Alabama, California, Georgia, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and Texas; and through My Brands by calling 1-888-281-6400 9a-8p ET.
EcoSmart held a stunt with giant bugs, which were protesting the availability of a safe, effective alternative; the “bugs” felt that pesticides should be harmful to all living things…it includes a look at the company’s founder, Steven Bessette, whose wife inspired him to develop the brand when pregnant with twins: “bug spray the natural way” (video)

This stuff really works! I tried it at on a creepy crawly – and it was dead in like 10 seconds.
I’m sure the stuff works. The question is, Do we really need to KILL all those little guys who share our homes and yards? Wasps and hornets can be safely relocated to the outdoors with a bug wand. And ants will disappear when their food sources are gone; their scent trails can be disrupted.
Being an alternative consumer doesn’t mean just buying differently. It also means thinking differently, which will undoubtedly affect the way we buy.
Exactly! Thinking differently, changing values, attitudes, behaviors — living consciously. Buying better, buying less, leaving less of an eco footprint…are all part of the alternative lifestyle.
Yes, there are other ways to deal with insects in the home. I was presenting a healthier alternative spray to those prone to the DOA approach to insect control. We also have people with a deep appreciation for all things insect here at altcon. We will now enter the no-squish zone.
