South Tampa | Home Goes Green - EcoSmart Pest Solution

My South Tampa home needs regular pest control.  We live in the heart of Tampa Bay and thus have lots of bugs to contend with.

While researching different pest management options, I found a Eco-friendly solution from a local pest provider, Florida Bug Runners, Inc.  Dave Patrias who owns the Florida based termite and pest control company informed me of a new EcoSMART(r) pest control product.

Many South Tampa homeowners are looking for ways to become more GREEN and implementing eco-friendly pest control is a great way to protect our environment, families and pets.

Dave provided me with some great information about the EcoSmart products, which are a blend of botanical oils that effectively target pests, not people or pets.  I found that the plant oil active ingredients target and block a key neurotransmitter receptor site found in insects, however mammals do not have the same receptors, so there is no adverse effect.  Many of the plant oils are approved for food and beverage consumption by the U.S. FDA.

Listen to Dave tell us more about what he does and these Green Friendly Home Products:

I gladly promote the service of Florida Bug Runners and encourage any South Tampa or Pinellas County home owner to call Dave at 727-733-2700 or email him at floridabugrunner@verizon.net for the same service.  If you are looking for a Tampa mortgage, Dave is also available for inspections!

Leah, Dave sounds like the expert on Eco Pest Control Solutions. It's great that you are sharing this with consumers. I have always thought..if the chemicals can do that to bugs, what is it doing to me.

Hi Leah, I wonder if he would trade a weekend in my condo at Copper Mountain to get rid of my ants! Just kidding... We don't have many bugs here but we do get our share of ants and mosquitos. With cats in the house I don't like the idea of spraying for the ants, and anything I can do without chemicals is better than with chemicals, provided it works.
