Win Natural Pesticides from EcoSmart

My children think I've lost my mind... they're quite certain of it. Last night, I was peacefully making myself a cup of chamomile tea. Everyone was relaxing in front of the television enjoying quiet time as the evening wound down. Suddenly I let out a blood curdling scream from the kitchen and my husband came running to see what the matter was. Note that the children did not move from the television.

There was a huge moth attacking me in the kitchen... OK he wasn't attacking me (although I wouldn't put it past him). He was however flying in my face... or at least he was pretty darn close to my face. Now I am not a huge baby and I didn't scream on purpose before you all think I've lost my mind too. It's instinct. I hate bugs. I've always hated bugs. I can remember my sister tormenting me when I was a child because I hated bugs.

I'm one of those people who covers themselves with bug spray before going out in the summer. I go after flies and wasps in the house with a vengeance. Heaven forbid an ant is sighted on my counter. They don't stand a chance in he** of surviving for long in this house. I will go after them with pesticides in a heart beat.

Of course, being the eco-friendly girl that I am, I look for natural pesticides that are safe for our pets and kids. As much as I hate bugs, I'm not using anything toxic in my house or around the yard. Natural Pesticides like the ones from EcoSmart are the perfect solution!

I received the Safe Picnic Value Bundle which is a collection of insect repellents and natural pesticides. The Safe Picnic Value Bundle includes Home Pest Control (24 oz spray bottle), Flying Insect Killer (14 oz can) and Insect Repellent (Two 6 oz bottles). It has everything you need to protect your home or your picnic area from flying and crawling insects.  They even have natural cockroach killer! Thank heavens we don't have those in Vermont!

EcoSmart's Flying Insect Killer is safe to use around children and pets. It kills fast and there are no harmful residues. It's even organic and it won't harm the environment. It's made from a patented blend of organic plant oils and kills bugs fast without any synthetic toxins or harmful residues. The Flying Insect Killer works on flies, gnats, mosquitoes, moths and other flying insects.

EcoSmart's Home Pest Control is for indoor and outdoor use. It kills and repels over 100 home invading pests and is safe to use in all areas of your home including kitchens!  It's non-toxic and totally safe around children & pets. It has a fresh natural scent and is meant to be used on ants, beetles, centipedes, cockroaches, crickets, earwigs, fleas, millipedes, pantry pests, pillbugs, silverfish, spiders, sowbugs, ticks and other crawling insect pests.  Just wait till those ants try to get in my kitchen this summer!

The Safe Picnic Value Bundle also includes two bottles of their EcoSmart Organic Insect Repellent that keeps away mosquitoes, ticks, gnats & more. It repels for hours and is deet free!  I love that this bundle contains two bottles of insect repellent!  Both my kids spend a lot of time outside in the warmer months.  David13 meets his friends and wanders uptown to hang out at the school, walk to the library or shoot basketball. It's several miles to town so he takes along a back pack with snacks, water and of course insect repellent! Sarah17 hangs out at the lake with friends and needs to have her own backpack of stuff since they certainly won't share insect repellent or anything else. Now they can each have their own!

All of the EcoSmart products have a fresh, natural scent not that overpowering chemical scent you find in many products.  Since Sarah17 and I both have asthma this is something that we really appreciate! Plus I don't want to expose my cats to something nasty for them to get into either!
