Natural and safe pesticide

there is one pesticide that is safe to use in and out of your home. A pesticide that has eugenol oil instead of chemicals will put your worries about your family and animals to rest. Different companies are now looking into this as a better alternative to chemicals. The eugenol oil is a natural extract taken from plants like the clove or cinnamon that is capable of quickly killing off troublesome insects. This oil will dry up an insect and kill it in no time.

Quote:

It is an oil that is extracted from the essential oil that comes from cinnamon, bay, and especially clove. It comprises anywhere from 75-90 % of the oil that comes from cloves. The oil has a nice smell - it sort of smells like Christmas!
One product line that I personally use and we recommend to our customers is called Ecosmart. It works well, and has the added benefit of not smelling like bugspray.

I have never even heard of this oil. Where do you buy it at and how much does it cost?

I have been having a major battle with ants in my house. They are so bad this year. I have every type of ant that there is I think. Little ones, big ones and all in between too lol!

I have tried everything that I have been able to find to buy and nothing is working.

My brother in law told me to get boric acid and mix it with some jelly. He said to put it into a little dish and leave it on the counter where I am having ant problems. He said they will be attracted to the jelly and take it back to their nests and problem solved. Of course boric acid is not safe for pets. Thats not a problem for me though as my dog cannot get on the counter. I am going to try this and I will let you all know if it worked.

Try Lowes or Menards. They might have it but im not sure. Your best bet would be to buy it online though as a lot of places dont carry it. When you look for it online type in Ecosmart. This is a brand of pesticide that uses eugenol oil instead of chemicals. I found out about it when watching Billy the exterminator. Its the main type of pesticide he uses. You could also look up their company. Its called Vexcon. They are based in Louisiana.

Thanks for ther added info. This is one product I will keep in mind. I am always looking for things that are safer for the enviroment. I am always having to use something because of where we live. We live right on the edge of woods and almost literally on top of a creek so we are always fighting ants and mosquitos and ticks and all of those lovely little pests lol.
