EcoSMART Natural Bug Killer Giveaway

April 4, 2010 · 150 comments

Spring is finally here in Texas, and after all of that snow, the nice weather is a welcome relief. But with nice weather, gardening, and outdoor fun comes pesky, unwelcome bugs.

I really do not like putting chemicals and pesticides on my lawn. My kids play on the lawn, the dogs spend time outdoors, and those chemicals can seep into ground water. The phrase, “You reap what you sow,” comes into mind. I don’t want to be “sowing” any chemicals into the ground to eventually “reap” the bad stuff that comes back into our home.

But what about those pesky bugs? I do not want them taking over our beautiful flowers, so I need a natural solution.

29 Tammy Ash April 5, 2010 at 2:07 pm: My teenagers are always romping in the yard playing football etc so this would be awsome. We are always looking for natural ways to curb insects. Also one of my dogs has allergy problems to chemicals put on the grass. With this being natuaral it would be great to try how it works on her. It would be wonderful not see her rashes come back when she gets in contact with chemicals.

33 Rebekah J April 5, 2010 at 3:39 pm: I also have a nice yard and garden that we love to have looking very nice but also cringe when we have to think about spraying something that could hurt our bodies in the future! With this great spring weather in Texas, we’ve been spending alot more time outside, however, if there are toxins on the ground, I won’t let the kids play on the grass as much and with one still half crawling/ half walking, that’s hard!
34 Rebekah J April 5, 2010 at 3:39 pm: I am a RSS follwer.
35 Christina Burrell April 5, 2010 at 5:04 pm: Where we live in South Tx there are lots of spiders so I definitly could use this prize!
