I’d like to start by thanking everyone for checking out the Eco Innovations website and your interest in EcoGuard Plus. As the season’s change, I will be using this platform to keep viewers and customers up to date with the changing trends and topics in pest management related to labeled insects controlled by EcoGuard Plus. As you know, EcoGuard Plus is specifically designed for control of ticks and mosquitoes, however, EcoGuard Plus also controls many other nuisance household pests with both a contact kill and residual repellency. Integrated Pest Management or IPM is a method of controlling pests by knowing all there is to know about the species in order to create the best plan for control.

It is my goal to use these blogs to educate and entertain and give a better-integrated understanding of the insects controlled by EcoGuard Plus.

Hopefully, you were able to keep up with the falling leaves in the fall of the year and were able to remove them from most common areas around your property. Ticks overwinter in leaf […]
