EcoSMART’s Weed & Grass Killer is not systemic.  It is a non-selective burn down product that only affects the parts of a plant that are sprayed.

There are many factors that impact the residual protection provided by any on skin insect repellent, including EcoSMART’s.  These include exposure to water, perspiration, temperature, severity of mosquito problem, etc.  The EcoSMART label states, “Apply every 2 – 3 hours or as needed.”

EcoSMART Lawn Granules kill and repel over 100 insects using a unique mode of action…targeting and blocking a neuroreceptor site (octopamine) only present in insects.  The residual activity provided by the granules comes from the repellent activity on insects (they basically create environments insects do not like so they avoid it!).

EcoSMART granules do not work as a bait…insect do not ingest it/pick it up and take it back to the nest.

The best EcoSMART products to control fleas outdoors (yard and perimeter of house) would be the Insect Killer for Lawns & Landscapes hose end or the Insect Killer Concentrate.  For indoors, the Home Pest Control product would work best.  Just follow the label instructions of whatever product you use.

Keep in mind that most insecticides, including EcoSMART’s, only work against 2 of the 4 stages of a flea’s lifecycle (adult and larva stages).  Because fleas are protected from insecticides in their egg and pupal stages, follow-up applications will be necessary to kill the fleas as they emerge from these protected stages.

When applied correctly following label directions, the Mosquito & Tick Control hose end product should be applied every 3 to 4 weeks. If you are dealing with a severe mosquito problem you may need to apply more frequently.  You will also need to reapply after a heavy rain.

The Mosquito Fogger aerosol is designed to be more of an area spray (i.e. around decks, patios, porches, playgrounds, etc) and will provide up to 8 hours of protection.  It can be reapplied as necessary.

The EcoSMART Wasp & Hornet aerosol has a jet spray that reaches up to 18 feet, and is designed to knock down stinging insects on contact.

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.

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