Ed Rosenthal developed his Zero Tolerance Herbal Pesticide as a product with "no weird chemicals" that would be safe enough to use in indoor, greenhouse and garden environments. The product comes in both ready-to-use and concentrate formats, which are made from a base of herbal cinnamon, clove, rosemary and thyme oils. In addition to treating insects, the herbal pesticide is also effective at keeping other pests and mold a bay.
While these natural pesticides are potent enough to handle undesirable spider mites, they evaporate fully, making them safe to use on plants, fruits and vegetables that will be harvested and eaten at home.
In addition to proudly showcasing a OMRI Listed seal, it's also described that "Ed’s Zero Tolerance is 100% Vegan and even smells good."
