Now that spring is here, many homeowners turn their attention to their home’s exterior. New to Green Depot – but a tried and true product for many years – is the Weather-Bos line of waterproofing sealers. Weather-Bos is a proven superior product that penetrates into wood to preserve and seal with a “monolithic bond,” using natural oils and resins that are safe for the environment. Weather-Bos is a very versatile product, and is offered in an all-purpose formulation, as well as five specialized formulations: Deck Boss, Log Boss, Roof Boss, Marine Boss and Masonry Boss.

And as the temperature rises, so do the insects – both interior and exterior. For years, we were able to offer our industrial clients one of the best natural insecticides made – EcoSMART – but now, I’m happy to report that this product is available through Green Depot in both residential and commercial sizes.

EcoSMART is made from patented botanical technology, based on the natural defenses (essential oils) that plants and trees have used for their self-protection against insects and pathogens for centuries. We now offer three products for residential customers: Crawling Insect Killer, Flying Insect Killer, and Wasp & Hornet Killer. These products are extremely effective, safe for people and the environment, cost-effective, and get the job done quickly. EcoSMART’s products post no food prep concerns, meet all EPA compliance issues, and do not require you to evacuate your home. This is a breakthrough product which I would recommend for any household’s insecticide needs.
