How safe are EcoSMART insecticides?
Most insecticides are required by EPA to have an extensive list of precautionary and first aid statements on their labels since they use synthetic chemicals as their active ingredient. EcoSMART products, however, don’t bear such warnings. That’s because the FDA classifies the plant oils used in EcoSMART products as “Generally Recognized As Safe” (GRAS) — the same label placed on approved foods and beverages. Additionally, the EPA classifies EcoSMART products as “Minimum-Risk” pest control products, a special category of EPA exemption offered for food grade ingredients. In fact, the active botanical ingredients found in EcoSMART products are the same ingredients commonly found in your spice rack! The EcoSMART active ingredient plant oils utilize a unique, proprietary targeted mode of action that attacks the central nervous system of insects, but have no adverse effect on humans or pets.
