Does anyone have feed back on this product against carpet beetles? I found some little buggers lately. i found the main infestation but I know that they probably spread around. I am cleaning like crazy, but I want to make sure I can treat the problem areas safely. I want to hurt the bugs and not my family. Let me know if anyone has any input in this product. Thanks

Unfornately, I have carpet beetles as well. I think it’s due to my two cats and the corn based litter I use. I vaccum and steam clean very often, but can’t seem to get rid of them. I don’t want to use chemicals so I vaccum ALOT!!! I’ve been looking for a “green” organic product for sometime and this looks like it fits the bill.

I have carpet beetles in my living room. Last year I sprayed with some nasty insecticide and thought they were gone. Spring arrives and they are all over again. I HATE bugs – they make me feel creepy crawly. I have a little dog and I want something that will not harm her but get rid of these nasty little bugs. They are driving me insane.

My sister lives on the sixth floor of a high-rise apartment building, and she believes she has carpet beetles. The photo you have above, though, does not look like the one I saw at her home. She’s had a lot of problems with insects in this building… this is just another for her to have to deal with.

Dear Jeanene W.,

If you want to protect your garden the “green way,” EcoSMART products are a great way to do that.

Because roses are so delicate, I would contact a florist with the exact type of your roses. They can then tell you how sensitive they might be to all types of pest control products.

For the rest of your garden, try EcoSMART’s garden pest control value bundle.

I commend you for going green and wish you well in your gardening endeavors!

I’m starting to get into flowers, trees and vege’s as I ‘mature’. HOWEVER, I’ve had one tree die as a result of the bugs eating it (a flowering plum); and now i have a peach tree that MAY NOT come back. The blackish bug seems to suck into the trunk and get sap out and they stick to it. They also eat the leaves down to a spider-web like skeleton. As well, something ate all my bean leaves last season; some black bug got into my rose buds RIGHT at the time they bloomed; killing the bloom. I’ve tried soap and water; ‘chemicals’ from the store saying it’ll kill the bugs and nothing seems to help. Any good tricks for roses, flowering/fruit trees and green beans? I’m trying to go organic, green and natural! thanks.
