In between visits from the exterminator, it’s not uncommon to see the occasional ant, spider or roach or insect around the house.

But what to do about it?

One solution is Terminix SafeShield, a new, eco-friendly home pest control product introduced earlier this year.

Formulated by an independent pesticide company, Terminix SafeShield is a non-aerosol bug spray whose active ingredients are all-natural.  The formula is said to control 25 types of in-home pests and kills bugs fast.

Because of its natural composition, SafeShield is safe for use around kids and pets — a huge advantage over chemical-laden, off-the-shelf products.  However, this same composition is also the product’s weak spot. Its oils and ingredients are most effective as spot treatments — not long-lasting ones.

Although it’s meant to complement a professional Terminix treatment, SafeShield can be purchased by-the-bottle at the Terminix website.
