Contains "pure orange peel oil, nature's own botanically-derived insecticide. In combination with four other ingredients... widely used by other industries to safely add flavor and aroma to many food, beverage and cosmetic products...all named by the U. S. Food & Drug Administration as 'GRAS,' Generally Regarded as Safe in human foods...bears a warning free EPA-approved label in EPA's least hazardous category IV. It is labeled both for use around food, children, and pets anywhere inside and outside homes, schools, and restaurants." This product kills pests while still being safe for humans and the environment by taking advantage of a unique characteristic of insects. "Unlike man, the breathing passages of ...insects are waterproofed by a wax lining. The food-grade ingredients in BUGS 'R' DONE soften and dissolve this wax lining, clogging the passageways and quickly leading to the insect's death. Human users, animals, and birds all are unaffected as is the environment." Comes in a recyclable plastic bottle.
