EcoSafe Opens New Greenhouse and Efficacy Testing Facility

EcoSafe has recently completed construction of a 1200 square foot greenhouse facility and dedicated pilot lab for EcoToxicity and Efficacy testing. Our new facility, located on a three-acre property in Victoria B.C., boasts a containment zone for insects and plants such as mosquitoes, ticks and fleas.  

Efficacy studies document how well your product performs its intended function, such as killing or repelling, against an invertebrate pest.
