Green Insecticides by EcoSMART
“EcoSMART insecticides don’t bear a single FDA warning. That’s because the FDA regards the plant oils used in EcoSMART products as “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS). Additionally, the EPA classifies EcoSMART products as “minimum-risk” pest control products. The active botanical ingredients found in EcoSMART products are the same ingredients commonly found in your spice rack”. This statement would not be surprising to a botanist. Many of what we think of as spices are really produced by the plant in an effort to kill bugs. Caffeine and nicotine are both insecticides. Most bugs taking a bite out of a jalapeno pepper quickly spit it out and move on to find a drink of cool water. As caffeine and nicotine do, EcoSMART‘s patented technology combines plant oils that target and block a key neurotransmitter receptor site. Unlike caffiene and nicotine, this site is found only in invertebrates.
