Terminix Introduces Natural Pest Control Product

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Terminix has introduced Terminix SafeShield, a new product made with natural active ingredients that comes packaged in an easy-to-use, 16-ounce non-aerosol spray bottle.

SafeShield will be provided to new pest control customers in California, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas beginning April 3 and will allow customers to use SafeShield to complement their Terminix pest control services. SafeShield will also be available for purchase nationally at www.safeshield.com starting May 1.

“Consumers no longer need to turn to harsh off-the-shelf products to eliminate the occasional indoor pest,” said Tom Brackett, Terminix president and chief operating officer. “SafeShield is a new alternative that is designed to work in unison with our quarterly services and gives consumers an environmentally responsible choice that produces immediate results. We promise customers the best protection available, and SafeShield is only the latest enhancement in our Ultimate Protection offering.”

SafeShield is engineered to target common household pests, including ants, roaches, flies, spiders and other crawling and flying household insects. The fast-acting formula begins working on contact, and independent lab tests show SafeShield’s natural formula meets or exceeds the effectiveness of some synthetic products, according to Terminix.

The eco-friendly pest control product is designed exclusively for indoor use and can be applied in a variety of areas throughout the home. When used as directed, SafeShield is safe for use in areas where children and pets play, Terminix reports. It does not stain countertops or upholstery and has a clean, fresh scent with no lingering odor.

The EPA-exempt SafeShield formula was developed by TyraTech, a leading independent pesticide company for human, animal and environmental health, and formulated with TyraTech Nature’s Technology. Terminix will be the exclusive provider of SafeShield, and has established a strategic relationship with TyraTech to develop and market additional environmentally responsible products in the future.

“TyraTech is committed to finding influential partners who share our vision of innovative approaches to meet the growing market demand for safer and more responsible control of domestic insects. Our new relationship with Terminix is a strong endorsement of our proprietary products and exemplifies this strategy. As the largest insect control company in the world, Terminix is an ideal partner for TyraTech to immediately access multiple marketing channels in the U.S.,” said Douglas Armstrong Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of TyraTech.
