Premo Guard's founders had suffered through a bed bug infestation. Each was not satisfied with the products on the market for exterminating bed bugs (and mites which we learned about when we launched) There had to be a better way to kill bed bugs & Mites other than toxic pesticides. We did our research and worked with scientists and chemists to come up with a formula that is 100% safe and non-toxic, and will not harm our families, our pets and our planet. All of our products are based on non toxic enzymes. You can read an independent study on the effectiveness of our Premo All Natural Bed Bug & Mite Killer here.
