What You Need to Know About Pesticide Poisoning

Product Knowledge Card

Can pesticides which are meant to be deadly to pests be truly safe to use around children, pets and the environment?

With EcoSMART, the answer is, “YES!”.

Highly Targeted to Insects ONLY

First, our products have a unique mode of action that targets systems which exist in insects only. That means that our active ingredients which work on insects are harmless to mammals, birds and fish.

NO Toxic Residue

Second, all of our products leave no toxic residue and pose no exposure risk. This means that after the pest control is done, our products will not pollute ground water sources with harmful chemical residue.

100% SAFE, All-Natural Ingredients

Third, the basis of safety in our products are the ingredients themselves. All of the ingredients used in our products are either food grade and listed on the FDA GRAS (“Generally Regarded as Safe”) list or are commonly used in the food and beverage industry (this means they have no adverse effect on living organisms). No other household brand can make this claim.

How do our all-natural ingredients compare against the synthetic chemical ingredients used in the most common traditional pesticides found in stores?

Is EcoSMART as effective as conventional products?

YES! University research and field studies have proven EcoSMART’s botanical products are as effective as conventional pesticides in their ability to kill insects fast and provide effective control. EcoSMART pest control products have been used for more than a decade in professional and agricultural markets and have been proven to kill and control a broad spectrum of insects and other pests. In addition, unlike other botanical insecticides that use a single plant oil, EcoSMART’s formulas are comprised of patented plant oil blends that make the products significantly more effective against insects and other pests. Another key benefit is that, unlike many insecticides on the market, there is no known pest resistance to EcoSMART’s botanical active ingredients.

How safe are EcoSMART insecticides?

Most insecticides are required by EPA to have an extensive list of precautionary and first aid statements on their labels since they use synthetic chemicals as their active ingredient. EcoSMART products, however, don’t bear such warnings. That’s because the FDA classifies the plant oils used in EcoSMART products as “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) — the same label placed on approved foods and beverages. Additionally, the EPA classifies EcoSMART products as “Minimum-Risk” pest control products, a special category of EPA exemption offered for food grade ingredients. In fact, the active botanical ingredients found in EcoSMART products are the same ingredients commonly found in your spice rack! The EcoSMART active ingredient plant oils utilize a unique, proprietary targeted mode of action that attacks the central nervous system of insects, but have no adverse effect on humans or pets.

Do our family and pets have to leave the room when EcoSMART products are applied?

No, there is no reason to leave the treated area when using EcoSMART products. You can enjoy the utmost in safety and convenience without having to sacrifice effectiveness.

Are EcoSMART insecticides for outdoor use?

Yes, EcoSMART products are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Simply read the label on the container for the appropriate directions.

Essentials oils are fragrant. How long does the scent last and is it safe to breathe the air?

Our products are made with essentials oils which by nature are fragrant, but are non-toxic and do not require vacating the area after use. The fragrance will normally dissipate within hours.

Can I spray my dog or cat with your products?

While our products are safe to use around pets, they are NOT intended for use directly on them.

EcoSMART Ant & Roach Killer was effective on the bugs sprayed, but will it keep them from coming back?

Our EcoSMART Ant & Roach Killer is designed to kill fast, but it kills on contact. We do not persist in the environment for weeks or months like synthetic chemicals which promise to keep killing long after you spray them. The residue of synthetic chemicals also increases potential exposure to these harmful chemicals. However because of the natural repellency of our oils on insects, you can expect them to stay away while the fragrance dissipates.

Can I use your outdoor insecticides on or around my trees, shrubs or plants?

Our insecticides will not harm your plants if applied per the label directions. Some plants may be sensitive to our oils under certain conditions. Do not spray on newly planted cuttings, plant stressed by drought or when temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not spray the blooms directly. It is recommended to always test a small area first.

How far will your Wasp & Hornet Killer spray?

Our Wasp & Hornet Killer spray has a reach of up to 18 feet.

Will the indoor products stain my carpet, floors, walls or counters?

While we have tested our indoor products on many types of surfaces and materials, we cannot possibly check them all. It is always wise to test them in an inconspicuous place on your carpet, fabric or other surface to check for staining before using. Use sparingly and wipe away any excess product after use.
