Unique and Patented Mode-Of-Action
EcoSMART's plant oil active ingredients target and block receptor sites
for a key neurotransmitter called octopamine which is only found in
invertebrates (i.e. insects), causing a total breakdown in the insect?s
nervous system. Mammals, birds and fish do not have receptors for
octopamine so EcoSMART?s plant oils have no adverse effect on them.
What Does "Minimum-Risk" Insecticide Mean?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created the
"minimum-risk" category in 1996 to help expedite the development of
alternative pesticides. To qualify as "minimum-risk", all ingredients
(both actives and inerts) must be food grade material. Pesticides that
qualify as "minimum-risk" pose absolutely no risk to humans, pets or the
environment, and are exempt from EPA registration.
Moving Botanical Technology Into The Mainstream...
EcoSMART Technologies is the first company to thoroughly research the
insecticidal properties of plant essential oils and develop a line of
patented botanical products that are extremely effective and economical
when compared to conventional pesticides... while maintaining an
unprecedented margin of safety to people, pets and the environment.
