Over the time that we’ve been open (nearly six whole weeks), we’ve encouraged our customers to tell us what they want, need, use…

We’ve introduced about a dozen new products since opening based on customers’ questions & requests.

One problem that seemed to descend upon our neighborhood was an infestation of  ants.

Researching options with a customer, we found a product called Orange Guard.  It’s a water based insecticide made from d-Limonen (or orange peel extract), which can be used around food, humans & pets, indoors & out.  And the list of the bugs it kills & repels not only includes ants (hallelujah) but roaches, flies, silverfish, dust mites, aphids, fleas & (drum roll, please) MOSQUITOS!  Oh, & snails too.

My best buddy from college called today & said she had a dream that I was a super spy in a futuristic action adventure…  Flattered as I am by her imagination, I pass the mantle on to… Orange Guard.  Kicking & repelling bug butt across this grand country of ours through the power of magic oranges!  Mantle passed.

Besides, it was never really mine to begin with.
