			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Q: <span>I  am interested in targeting bedbugs. Can you help me where do I apply <span id="misspell-5" class="mark">Diatomaceus</span> powder? In the sheets or in the  mattress? I already have the product to use it with our pet, but I want to use  it at the house. Thank you very much. - </span><span>Patricia  Luna</span></p>
<p>A: <span><span id="misspell-0" class="mark">Diatomaceous</span> Earth is a physical killer which means it has to  come in contact with the insect to kill it. It also last forever so you can  leave it where ever you put it. You can dust the powder all over the mattress  then leave it there. I would also dust all carpeted areas and under your bed.  Around baseboards, closets, and cabinets too. Pretty much anywhere you can think  of. If you rub it in these places then you won&#8217;t even be able to see it. You can  also check out the website we made, <a href="http://howtousediatomaceousearth.com/the-many-uses/"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;">http://howtousediatomaceousearth.com/the-many-uses/</span></a></span></p>

<p>EcoSMART Technologies, the  nation’s leading producer of organic pesticides, will be center stage on Tuesday  morning in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at a gathering of some of the nation’s  leading scientists, including representatives from the <strong>Centers for Disease  Control and Prevention (CDC)</strong>, <strong>Maine Medical Center Research Institute</strong> and leading Universities, as they discuss safe, new alternatives for Tick  Control and the Prevention of Lyme Disease in the United States.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>EcoSMART’s new <strong>Mosquito &amp;  Tick Control ready-to-use yard spray</strong> has been identified by the Maine  Medical Research Institute as one of the most effective, naturally derived tick  control products on the market today.  It will be cited in a study to be  published this year in the <strong>Journal of Medical Entomology</strong>.  EcoSMART  scientists have been working closely with the Maine Institute, as well as with  the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to conduct research that  identifies highly effective natural pesticide alternatives that can be used  safely by homeowners to reduce the risk of insect born diseases.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>EcoSMART, which manufacturers  the nation’s only complete line of EPA Exempt, safe pesticides, offers more than  15 products for home and garden use.  It has been the #1 selling “green”  pesticide used by professionals for years…and is now available to consumers in  leading retail stores throughout the United States.   Made from patented blends  of essential plant oils, EcoSMART products are proven effective against bugs,  but completely safe for people, pets and the environment. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>NATIONAL HEALTH ALERT &#8212; PRESS  CONFERENCE</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span>New Study Announces Safe  Alternatives for Tick Control and Prevention of Lyme Disease in the United  States </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>WHAT:           Natural product scientists from North  America will converge in Boston next Tuesday, June 15 to announce safe and  effective alternatives for tick control and the prevention of disease  transmission to humans.  New research conducted by the Vector-Borne Disease  Laboratory at the <strong>Maine Medical Center Research Institute</strong> found that a  natural, plant essential oil-based pesticide was able to provide effective  control of deer ticks in the field. These findings are to be published this year  in the <strong>Journal of Medical Entomology</strong> and highlight a significant step  toward the implementation of new botanical pest management practices.  Press  conference participants include leading scientists from, <strong>Centers for Disease  Control and Prevention</strong> (CDC), <strong>Maine Medical Center Research  Institute</strong>, <strong>EcoSMART Technologies</strong>, and four <strong>North American  Universities</strong>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>WHY:             Lyme disease is the most frequently  reported disease transmitted by arthropods in the United States, with over  29,000 cases confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in  2008. According to the American Lyme Disease Foundation most people acquire Lyme  disease from infected nymphal ticks, which begin to seek out hosts in the spring  and early summer. This coincides with the time many people start to become  active outdoors through hiking, camping, or just spending time in the backyard. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>A new  study conducted by the Vector-Borne Disease Laboratory at the Maine Medical  Center Research Institute demonstrated that a botanical pesticide containing  rosemary and</span><span> </span><span>peppermint essential oil actives was able to provide  effective control of the deer tick. These findings highlight a significant step  toward the implementation of new pest management practices using</span><span> </span><span>alternative pesticide  and repellent formulations for tick control.</span></p>
