I Love To Squash Bugs

Okay, not really.  I have kids for that.  I hate most bugs, though.  It all goes back to one day in my childhood that I will never forget.  I was watching television at my aunts house, where I spent a lot of time as a child, and there was a spider on the ceiling.  I pointed it out to my cousin, and she told me to just ignore it.  I tried, really I did, but I couldn't help keeping an eye on it.  As soon as it got over our heads, it fell to the bed, right next to me.  I seriously felt like Little Miss Muffet.  Ever since then, I have hated anything creepy and crawly.  I make it my mission to make sure to squash bugs at every opportunity.

Last week, I received a box of EcoSMART products to try, and I have to say, I love that they are made from 100% safe, all natural ingredients.  I don't have pets in the house right now, except for Princess (the hamster), but it is still important to me that the products I use be safe for the kids.  I was sent the safe home value bundle, which included:

-- Ant and Roach Killer (14 oz can)
-- Home Pest Control (24 oz spray bottle)
-- Flying Insect Killer (14 oz can)
-- Insect Repellent (6 oz bottle)

I haven't had the opportunity to try them all out yet, because at the moment, we are bug free.  We do have a wasp problem during the warmer weather, so I am looking forward to using the flying insect killer on them.  Last year we used bug killer that smelled awful, and I am sure it was full of all kinds of chemicals.  Tomorrow we are going to spend the day at the park, and I am bringing the insect repellent with me.  I am not anticipating there being a problem, but I want to be prepared just in case. I did spray the insect repellent, and the smell isn't bad.  I have an issue with smelly things, but I don't think this product will bother me.

The lovely people at EcoSMART have generously agreed to send the same bundle I received to one of my lucky readers.  I am sure you will find many uses for these products, like figuring out how to get rid of stink bugs or killing those annoying ants that always seem to invade my kitchen.  To enter, tell me your worst bug story.
