EcoSMART Technologies is the world’s leading producer of
organic pesticides.
Founded in 1992, EcoSMART’S historical focus has been on
serving the agricultural, professional and commercial markets.
Much of the nation’s booming natural foods market is being
supplied by organic growers using EcoSMART USDA Certified
Crop Protection products.
In the professional pest control industry, EcoSMART technology
is used by Orkin, Terminix and other leading PCO’s, to meet the
growing demand for natural and organic pest control treatments.
EcoSMART also provides technology solutions through licensing
agreements. Its exclusive supply agreement with Sergeants Pet
Care Products, Inc. provides natural flea and tick control products
under the Nature’s Guardian and Natural Defense brand names.
In 2008, EcoSMART launched a proprietary line of organic
pesticides in the retail market.

EcoSMART is now the fastest growing pesticide brand in the
United States. Here’s why…
1. EcoSMART is The Safe Pesticide Brand™, offering
consumers a completely safe alternative at a time when
concerns about pesticide safety have never been higher.
2. EcoSMART is the only major supplier that is 100%
committed to safe and natural pesticide alternatives. That’s
all we do, while our competitors are primarily known for and
focused on their synthetic pesticide brands.
2. EcoSMART products are supported with aggressive
national advertising on TV, radio and print. As the word
spreads, demand for EcoSMART safe pesticides will continue to
grow.
4. EcoSMART products are as effective as traditional
synthetic pesticides. Our technology has been proven
effective in the highly demanding commercial, professional and
agricultural markets for the past fifteen years.

Factory sales of EcoSMART retail products increased four-fold in
2009, and are on track to more than triple in 2010.

EcoSMART is the only U.S. Supplier with a complete line of
EPA exempt (25-b), organic pesticides.
This means that EcoSMART is the only brand that can make
explicit safety claims.
All EcoSMART pesticides are child-safe and pet-safe…and
contain pictures of children and pets on their labels (an implied
safety claim disallowed by the EPA on registered pesticides.)
EcoSMART products feature proprietary technology and are
protected by nearly 100 U.S. and international patents. Its
product line can not be duplicated.
EcoSMART’S revolutionary plant-based formulas are as
effective as synthetic chemicals but completely safe for
people, pets and the environment.
Patented technology kills fast; and is based on natural
defenses that plants and trees use to protect themselves from
insects and disease.

In 1997, EcoSMART scientists discovered The
Octopamine Blocker, a unique mode of action that
shuts down insects’ central nervous systems.
Octopamine is the insects’ equivalent to adrenaline;
it regulates their heart rate, movement, behavior
and metabolism.
The unique molecular structure in EcoSMART’S
proprietary botanical formulas “block” the
Octopamine neurotransmitter receptors in insects.
This causes immediate “knock-down”, followed
rapidly by the insect’s death. EcoSMART’s
botanical formulas also have strong repellency
characteristics, keeping new bugs out of the treated
area.
Mammals, birds and fish do not have receptors for
Octopamine, so EcoSMART pesticides have no
adverse effect on them.

Consumer research has validated that, in today’s pesticide category,
safety claims drive purchase decisions, far more so than organic or


A growing number of consumers are aware of – and concerned
about – the potential dangers of synthetic pesticides.

According to the EPA, there are more than two million poisoning
incidents reported each year, half involving children under six years
old and 90% occurring in the home.

Every 13 seconds, a call is placed to a poison control center due to
an unintentional poisoning.

Mounting scientific evidence has linked the use of synthetic
pesticides to adverse human health conditions including birth
defects, learning disabilities, asthma symptoms and various
forms of cancer.

At least 50 deaths have been attributed to exposure to pyrethroids,
one of the most commonly used synthetic pesticide ingredients.

Several Provincial and Municipal Governments in Canada including
Quebec, Ontario and Vancouver have enacted laws restricting or
banning the sale of synthetic pesticides for residential landscapes.

Recent EPA regulatory actions will further drive EcoSMART growth and make it
more difficult for registered pesticides to operate in the natural/organic market
segment.

‣
Proposed new rules regarding False or
Misleading Pesticide Product Brand
Names would prohibit the use of brand
names that imply disallowed safety and
environmental claims such as Safe,
Safer, Natural, Eco and Earth Friendly.
These proposed rules will only apply
to registered pesticides, and not 25-b
exempt products.
Ortho is reportedly discontinuing its ecosense product line.
Hot Shot Naturals is now referring to EcoSMART as “the leading national
product” in comparative radio advertising.

Additionally, a growing number of consumers
and consumer-advocate interest groups are
demanding “legitimacy” from products making
natural and environmental claims; and rejecting
those products that do not deliver on their
promises.
The link below is to a recent New York Times
article discussing the rise of lawsuits against
companies making false or misleading
environmental claims, including a suit against
S.C. Johnson and their self proclaimed “green
list” initiative.
