Patented plant-based EcoSMART Technologies to change face of pest control

BOULDER, COLORADO, Jul. 18 -/E-Wire/-- FRANKLIN, Tennessee, July 19 â People may be fighting for their lives in War of the Worlds this summer, but thanks to EcoSMART Technologies, life on Earth is no picnic for bugs either. That's because everyone from homeowners, schools and retirement communities to municipalities and farmers can now harness the power of EcoSMART's unique plant-based formulations to control unwanted pests and reduce the number of chemicals in the environment.

"Our plant-based technology is as effective as conventional products and offers an unprecedented margin of safety to people, pets and the environment," said Steve Bessette, EcoSMART's president.

Globally, an estimated $44 billion is spent on pesticides every year, with $12 billion spent in the United States. The long-term effects of chemical pesticide use are not fully understood; however, demand for nontoxic, planet-friendly alternatives is growing rapidly.

EcoSMART's patented formulations harness nature's defenses against insects. Derived from plant oils, EcoSMART products contain active ingredients that block the octopamine receptor ? a neurotransmitter unique to insects which regulates metabolism, movement and behavior ? resulting in rapid death. The company offers its own BioganicÂ® line at www.bioganic.com that includes a Crawling Insect Killer, Flying Insect Killer, Wasp and Hornet Killer, Lawn and Garden Spray and ShooBugÂ® personal repellants.

EcoSMART Technologies partners with large, national brands for use in residential, commercial, and lawn and garden pest control programs. The commercial product line is being increasingly utilized by pest management professionals and institutional pest control programs. Its agricultural division includes crop protection products that can be used by conventional, transitional and organic farmers, as well as by municipalities in right-of-way programs.

"We're leading the trend towards patented botanical alternatives to conventional pesticides and continuing to develop effective alternatives that are safe around children and pets. Our goal is to change the face of pest control," said Bessette.

EcoSMART Technologies is a world leader in proprietary pesticide products derived from natural plant oils. The active ingredients in EcoSMART's products are unique, synergistic blends of essential oils, EcoSMART Technologies is the first company to economically enable a realistic shift from synthetic to botanical pesticides in the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural markets.
