Do You Know About EBI?

Author: Emma Grace Crumbley, Entomologist

Looking for a greener pest control solution? Look no further! Mosquito Squad Plus locations across the country are now offering a natural treatment option that helps control mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, ants, and other pests in your yard: Mosquito Squad Plus Essential Botanical Insecticide, or “EBI”!

What is EBI?

Launched at the beginning of 2025, EBI is a game changer for routine pest management. Our proprietary formula uses plant-based essential oils to help kill pests on contact and repel them for weeks to come. Registered in over 30 states, EBI provides a natural alternative to traditional yard treatments.

• Essential - The key ingredients in EBI include five essential oils known for their pest-control abilities: cedar, clove, cinnamon, thyme, and sesame oils.
• Botanical - This product utilizes plant-based ingredients to help control pests while being gentle on plants, flowers, and foliage.
• Insecticide - Simply put, an insecticide is a substance used to kill insects. Any product used to knock down pest populations can be classified as an insecticide, from neem oil to soil bacteria (Bt) to diatomaceous earth!

Why choose EBI?

While our traditional barrier treatment has been our staple service for over 20 years, we understand that one solution doesn't fit all pest problems. EBI provides a robust control option with a naturally derived formula for customers looking to manage their pest problems without using synthetic products in their yards. EBI helps control pests in 24 hours or less and establishes a robust defense against new infestations. For customers who experience allergic reactions to synthetic insecticides or repellents, EBI also significantly mitigates the likelihood of allergic reactions compared to alternative harsher formulas.

Other benefits of EBI include:

Long Lasting! EBI helps control pests in 24 hours or less and establishes a barrier around your lawn to defend it from pests for up to 14 to 21 days. After the natural treatment has been allowed to dry, you and your pets can enjoy your yard again! 

Smells Great! The essential oils in our formula have a pleasant fragrance after application. Don't like the small amount of cinnamon or cloves? Not to worry! The scent fades significantly within a few hours, and the product will continue to work.
