EcoSMART Natural Bug Killer Giveaway

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.

    Sounds like a safe product to use around the house so the grandkids will not get into it, and better for the environment.

  3. says

    Mosquitos greet my girl the moment she steps out the back door and she gets big itchy welts from their bites. Plus ants…it’s a never ending battle around here!! So I’d love to win the prize pack!
    .-= Lisa´s last blog ..Happy Easter! =-.

  6. Karen says

    We have ants in our kitchen, and I want to use something non-toxic to get rid of them!

  7. Patricia Williams says

    I have six dogs that are all strays/rescued animals. It would be great to win this natural ECO-Smart pesticide and repellent.

  8. Marissa says

    I have four boys that I don’t like to use chemicals around. I am always looking for a safer repellent. We live near Lake Erie so we have lots of bugs that all this would help.

  10. Jaci says

    I’ve tried lots of home remedies and none have worked so I might have to try this one!

  11. Patty Coleman says

    Alyssa, this giveaway is just what I have been looking for. Here in Florida, we also have fireants and I don’t like using chemicals because of the grandkids and my dog.

  13. Laura says

    I live in Georgia and the bugs are terrible here. We have cats and dogs so flea problems are constant in warm weather. We have bee issues on the back deck and of course mosquitos….and then there are the palmetto bugs!!! I have been here 10 years and I still can’t get used to the bugs.

  15. Barb says

    I have tried home remedies that didn’t work, and other stuff, but I hate the chemicals. I have three children and a dog. This would be great to try!

  18. Jilian says

    I have 3 dogs, a toddler, and baby due in July— this would be an awesome option for pest control for our yard and landscaping!

  21. Melissa says

    We live near a lot of water, some that stands still, so our bug problem in the summer months is awful! I try to keep our family protected with bug spray, but this package would be a wonderful addition to help us with those crazy bugs!
    Thanks!

  27. Pam says

    I have grandchildren and would feel much safer putting this on the yard where they play. Thanks for the opportunity!

  29. Dorathy says

    I vacuum every day, but am still getting ants. please help, because I do not using chemicals in my home!

    • Celena says

      Putting small piles of cornmeal on the ground where they travel really helps. We had ants in an old apartment, and about a week after I put cornmeal down they were gone. They take it home and then they all eat it, but their bodies can’t digest it so they die.

  30. Tina says

    I would like to win because living in north Florida, we are always fighting some form of insects(bugs). We have fireants & mosquitos almost all year. I would love to have something I don’t have to worry about using on my little one.

  32. says

    I would love to try this. Since my son will be playing more and more outside, I’d rather not be using harsh chemicals, but I’d still really like it to work. I saw an ant in our house the other day. 🙁

  33. shannon says

    i would love a natural way to help control all the pests we deal with here in louisiana!

  37. Jennifer B says

    I would like this because we get ants this time of year and having 2 dogs also fleas and we have bad mosquitoes and I hate putting all those chemicals on me just because I want to sit outside..we also camp a lot as well.

  39. Danyiel Wise says

    The bugs have also returned to our home in PA and I am already finding them inside my house when you have three kids and a dog running in and out all the time. This product would be great with a little one and a dog that spend must of their day outside in the yard.

  40. Celena says

    I’d LOVE this package! My husband and I are about to close on our first home, and it has been vacant for almost a year. Walking through, the spiders and other bugs have made themselves quite at home in the house. We are planning to bug-bomb and stuff in there before we move in, and it would be wonderful to not have to worry about lingering chemicals when we move our 13 month old into the house. We are very excited to be moving out of our tiny apartment and out into the country where Brielle can have a real yard! 🙂

  44. BCTwinMom says

    I have 3 year old twins who get covered in bites when we go outside to paly – the mosquitos (among other things) are terrible around the outside of our home – have tried several things and nothing has worked. We would love to win this product – it would be very helpful :-).

  45. says

    We live outside during the warm seasons and now that my daughter is old enough to run around on her own, I don’t want her around all the chemicals. This would be perfect for our yard!
    .-= Ashley´s last blog ..Happy Easter =-.

  47. says

    I am especially interested in the insect repellent. I know there are kids versions in the stores but I still feel like they are not safe to use on my 1 y.o. These products look great!

  48. Sidni H. says

    Summer is coming and we’ve already started our Spring planting. We could use a great product like this to protect our dogs & children while playing outdoors! Thank you for sharing this awesome giveaway with us!

  53. holly says

    I have a 2 year old girl and a cockapoo. I would love to find something nontoxic to protect both of them from bugs.

  54. Vicki Hornsby says

    I have 14 acres full of bugs and things. I have been gardening for a couple of years and try to grow vegetables organicly.
    Bugs love me and it would be great to be able to leave all the “bug spray” in the bottle.

  57. Amy P says

    We love the outdoors! I have 3 boys and a dog so we could really use a non toxic bundle of goodies! I hate bugs! 🙂

  58. Anna Smith says

    This would be great. I have tried everything natural to get rid of ants with no luck. I don’t want to use anything that would harm my 18month old or my 2 dogs.

  60. says

    I would love to win this bundle because it is important to me to not use chemicals and only products that are safe for my family. We have tons of fire ant hills too!
    .-= Kim P.´s last blog ..O is for OCEAN =-.

  67. Sandy says

    Well – trying to keep our house eco friendly on a budget is very challenging!!! We could really use this product as we are having a terrible time with ants and since the baby will be crawling soon – it would sure be nice to have something eco friendly to try.

    I subscribe via email.

    Thanks,
    Sandy

  71. Denessa says

    I have flying ants in my boys room and i have little black ants in the kitchen. This is the first year that we have had a problem. I want not to hurt my two boys or my cat and dog. Help plase I could really use these.

  72. Lori says

    I discovered EcoSmart last summer!! I have two dogs and a 15 month old son that LOVES to play outside. I was concerned about the chemicals in other pesticides and I came across EcoSmart. I would be awesome to win this package and save us the money we will have spent on these items. 🙂

  73. Lori says

    I just subscribed to your feed!! Thanks for your blog. I LOVE the $5 dollar challenges every week.
    Thanks,
    Lori

  76. Katie says

    I love organic, but am skeptical that these products will work. It would be great to try for our family’s health, we have one boy and one on the way and a puppy that eats everything.

  79. Tammy Ash says

    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.

  80. Donna says

    I have 2 small children and this year, we are having a terrible ant problem inside our house and outside! We could greatly use these products.

  81. says

    We have two dogs and 3 (soon to be 4) little ones that love to play outside in the summer. This would be wonderful to have so we can avoid all the harmful chemicals that we usually spray on our plants and what not outside.

  83. Rebekah J says

    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!

  85. Christina Burrell says

    Where we live in South Tx there are lots of spiders so I definitly could use this prize!

  86. Sunnymay says

    I could use some help with the Carpenter Ants and their many legged friends, now that Spring showed up in the Midwest.

  87. jacki says

    I’m growing organic veggies this year and also have started eating organic. would like nontoxic products for my garden. thanks

  92. Heather S. says

    I would love to win this because my daughter is allergic to bug bites and it would be great to finally try something natural on her

  93. Katie S. says

    I would love to win this giveaway. I have a 4 y/o and an almost 2 y/o who still loves to put his hands and everything in his mouth. We spend lots of time outdoors and I’m looking for eco-friendly lawn and pest alternatives.

  98. Jess Y says

    I need this because I live in North Carolina, I have 4 kids (2 that get bit/stung frequently, a dog and a garden-to-be. Thanks.

  101. Janene says

    We have 2 kids and a dog. I have an auto-immune disease and we’d like to have this in order NOT to poison our family with chemicals that have unknown effects.

  102. staceyk says

    perfect timing! Just found an ant trail I wasn’t sure how to get rid of since I didn’t want to use harmful chemicals, especially with the little ones around.

  107. Leah says

    I’m an avid gardener who battles bugs! I start my garden in my kitchen window starting in March~having the plants destroyed by bugs or disease six months later is heartbreaking! 🙂

  108. says

    My son is 14-months old and I also worry about putting chemicals into our yard where he will play. We also have a garden and I definitely do not want chemicals getting onto our food. Thanks for all that you do!

  110. Christie says

    I have a crazy ant problem in my kitchen, but don’t like using too many chemicals because it’s the KITCHEN!

  111. christi G. says

    I would love to have this set! I live in Texas where bugs are common year round and since we have a creek in the back yard and pecans in the front we have a mosquito, wasp, hornet and cockroach problems. I HATE to use nasty chemicals but I am losing this war!

  113. Ally says

    We have 3 young children that enjoy playing in our backyard. Our youngest had open heart surgery at 6 weeks old and has had health issues ever since. He will need a follow-up surgery that he has to be healthy for. We keep a garden to cut down on food costs and to eat healthier. Since my husband is a pastor we keep a pretty tight budget. This package would be invaluable to us!

  118. Aniheartsjapan says

    We have two boys who are always outside playing, plus a dog outside with them. Plus a baby girl on the way… We have a lot of land to treat with insectisides to keep the bugs off our kids/pets, and I’d much rather have something kid/pet-friendly, than toxic chemicals!

  119. Rebecca Scott says

    We have lots of ants that we can’t seem to get rid of, but I don’t want to use any chemicals that could harm my baby girl who is just starting to crawl or our dog.

  120. Elaine smith says

    i am a fan on facebook
    i live on 3 acres and have dogs, cats, and chickens.
    lot s going on over here
    and have grandchildren what come to visit- do not want any bugs

  121. Debbie J says

    I don’t want to use chemicals with kids and pets around. These products would be great!

  124. says

    I would love to win this because we are starting an outdoor garden and will be spending time outdoors more. I have a daughter turning 3 this summer and one turning 11 this month, and I would prefer to use this instead of harmful chemicals.

  126. Renita says

    Would LOVE to receive this because my son has super sensitive skin, so bug bites make him break out horribly, but so do most repellants and treatments. This would be such a blessing!

  129. Julie F. says

    Hi Alyssa,

    I’m a long time RSS subscriber. And I’d love a healthy, chemical free lawn (these products would help convince my husband that can be done!) Our garden is organic because I’m in charge there, but the lawn…oh the lawn….

  130. Elizabeth says

    Living on the water like we do, we get bugs ALL the time. I’d love to have something natural to treat them with. Thanks!

  133. linda says

    i use no chemicals in my yard as i am in it non-stop as are my grandchildren andpets.

  134. Renee Parks says

    I’m trying not to use chemical weed killers and pesticides, but sometimes I just don’t know how to get rid of them!

  135. says

    I would love to win this for our garden! I love to grow my own goodies, because I don’t have to worry about chemicals, but my strawberries are already getting over-run with bugs!

  139. mamawanda says

    Living in an old farmhouse is daunting, with red wasps constantly stinging everyone. My grandkids are terrified and have to “run the gauntlet” through the porch to get past them. Your wasp spray is the only sensible solution!

  144. kim says

    We have pulled 6 ticks off THIS WEEK!!! I absolutely love being outside and gardening and feeding my family home grown, but I don’t like those pesky ticks. My 3 year old always scratches until she gets an infection!

  147. chrissyb says

    We’d love to try this out at home, we have a dog and a son whom loves to go outside! This is perfect for us.
