Point of View

If you imagine that a plant-derived pesticide could never be effective, think again. Several plant species have their own natural defenses against bugs; pesticides like EcoSMART use food-grade (meaning: safe to use in your kitchen) plant oils proven to kill and control a broad spectrum of insects. Throwing toxins after the problem simply isn't a better solution, especially if you have children or pets around.

Whatever pesticide you choose, look for one that won't leave toxic residues that will linger in the nooks and crevices of your home for months, even years.
