Holiday Spectacular Day 11: EcoSMART Natural Home Pest Control Review and Giveaway

Ever since I became a mom, I’ve been trying to find natural home pest control products to combat the ants that invade our home. I’ve tried all sorts of spices and looked online for all kinds of natural pest control concoctions, but most don’t seem to work. Thankfully, now I know there is an alternative to the dangerous, synthetic chemical-filled pesticides --EcoSMART.

EcoSMART Technologies, the world leader in safe pesticide solutions, is a venture-backed company with patented technology and a world-class management team. Our mission is to create the world's safest, most effective pesticides based on natural ingredients. We have 15 years of scientific research and a wealth of patents behind us. We make the only 100% safe insecticide that is proven to work. We offer the only complete line of EPA exempt pesticides sold in the US.

I was fortunate to receive a bottle of Home Pest Control (ARV $8.00).

Kills and repels over 100 home invading pests: Ants (including Carpenter, Red Harvester, Pavement and Argentine), Beetles, Centipedes, Cockroaches, Crickets, Earwigs, Fleas, Millipedes, Pantry Pests, Pillbugs, Silverfish, Spiders, Sowbugs, Ticks and other crawling insect pests.Unlike other insecticides, it is made from organic plant oils and kills bugs naturally to better protect your family. Plus, there’s no pesticide residue.

I sprayed it on a crack near one of our living room windows through which that ants were crawling out of. I immediately noticed the very strong mint-like smell. Although the smell was strong, I would much rather smell mint than chemicals!

Of course, what I liked best of all was that the Home Pest Control is safer than a lot of pesticides out there (but I still keep the bottle locked up in a cabinet, and I still make sure that my boys don’t go near where I sprayed).

I do find that I have to spray areas more than once to keep the ants under control, but despite that, I think it’s great that EcoSMART offers a
natural home pest control that is safer for my home and for my family.

Shop: You can purchase EcoSMART
natural bug sprays, insect repellent, and more online on the EcoSMART website, or enter your zip code on the EcoSMART website to find a retailer near you.

Win: One lucky winner will receive a bottle of Home Pest Control.

I'd love to try this on the Ants we get each spring. We try very hard to keep toxic chemicals out of our house. The little ant traps I've used in the past don't work and are toxic to my pets and child. EcoSmart sounds great! Thanks.

I have an ant infestation in my kitchen right now, so it would be important to only use safe products there near, so near the food.

EcoSmart's products are important because they are safe for kids, pets and the environment, and leave no toxic residue.

i think EcoSMART is important due to its patented technology being based on the natural defenses that plants and trees use for their self-protection against insects and pathogens. EcoSMART combines plant oils that target and block a key neurotransmitter receptor site found only in insects and other invertebrates. sounds great to me and thank you for the chance!

EcoSMART is important because EcoSMART was the first company to apply modern science to essential plant oils creating the first 100% safe pesticides. Their products are based on the natural defenses that plants and trees have used for their self protection against insects and pathogens for millennia essential oils. Now that is how it's done!

I love that EcoSmart is providing ecologically friendly (finally) help for getting rid of critters (I've got way too many spiders, but don't want to bomb the house!)

I think they are important because EcoSMART is based on solid science. They are important for me because I have several house cats and get an infestation of ants every spring and summer so need to deal with them safely.

I think Ecosmart products are important because we need to start taking more gentle care of our world. We only have one place to live so we might as well make it friendly... using harsh chemicals that are toxic to everyone is the furthest thing from friendly!

"Since EcoSMART’s proprietary botanical oil blends attack attributes that are specific only to pests, they have no effect on people, pets or the environment." This says it all for me!
