I used Ecosmart in my shed for multiple hornets nests. It worked instantly and perfectly. Very glad there is a non toxic product now offered.

For the people complaining about the smell in the house – the bottle I purchased says not to use indoors, the pure peppermint oil which kills the bugs is non toxic but very strong scent by nature. I would not spray regular old toxic spay in the house either, but I thought that’s common sense.

The smell is horrible! I used this morning in a very small amount and within 5 min I had the worst migraine headache ever. I am very sensitive to smells and had I known I would have NEVER bought this product. 10 hours later my apartment still smells terrible. I have tried everything to get rid of the intense smell, opened all windows in 100 degree weather, turned every fan on in the house, sprayed vinegar and wiped down the areas sprayed-NOTHING is changing. DO NOT BUY this product it is horrible for people that are sensitive to smells, one day people will understand how truly painful strong smells can be to people and the toll they can take on their daily life. This is ridiculus and an extremely overpowering smell.

WARNING! The odor of this spray is far worse than ANY chemical! It causes severe headaches and nose bleeds! DO NOT USE! We cannot get the stench of it out of our home 3 days after spraying a small amount in one room.

I agree with the previous poster about the smell–it is so OVERWHELMING. It lasts for days and days even if you just use a quick spritz. I had to open all the windows (in 40 degree temps) and mop multiple times just so I could breathe.

On the bright side, it kills bugs dead. I just can’t stomach the smell. Too bad.

I love the idea of an organic bug spray. So I bought a bottle at Home Depot earlier today. We sprayed it outside and inside of two doors in our house (which is where the bugs like to come in). It is now 4am and I haven’t slept a wink. The smell, while not necessarily unpleasant, is so strong and overwhelming that I’m now feeling ill… headache, sick to my stomach, my whole being is irritated. We have the windows open, all the fans on, etc. Its not really helping the matter. So I have to strongly caution people… if you’re the least bit sensitive to smells, USE SPARINGLY!!!! I’ll be taking my bottle and receipt back to the store tomorrow and ask for a refund. This product is not going to work for me, personally. Bummer. I’m disappointed.

I had a rash which I believed to be yeast. The Doctor prescribed medicine. The yeast cleared but the itching remained. My husband started to itch on the arm closest to me while we sleep, then itched between his fingers. Convinced it was scabies I decided to spray my body down from chest to feet…Instant relieve* I never felt so good…it got a lil warm but cool water relieved that.

I am very anxious to try this product! It sounds like the scent should be refreshing. Certainly getting spiders and other pests under control in and around the house in a nontoxic manner is ideal!

In our barn we are always on the lookout for ways to limit insects without using toxins around the foals and children who take riding lessons our horses & ponies.
