Contech Enterprises, designer of the ScareCrow motion-activated animal deterrent, has acquired the Original Waspinator to add to its growing line of non-toxic, pesticide-free insect control products. The deal will see the Original Waspinator available to Contech distributors, retailers and customers immediately.

Designed to mimic the look of a wasp nest, the Original Waspinator sends the message that your outdoor area is already inhabited by wasps - keeping other wasps away. According to Contech CEO Mark Grambart, the innovative design and pesticide-free appeal of the Original Waspinator make it a strong addition to Contech's line of environmentally friendly insect control products. "The Original Waspinator fits well with our green strategy", said Grambart, "A greater number of consumers don't want to use pesticides in their homes and gardens," added Grambart "the Original Waspinator offers an effective, pesticide-free solution."

John Zaplatynsky, president of popular garden store chain, Gardenworks, has seen the trend toward pesticide-free insect control reflected in his stores. When it comes to wasps, Zaplatynsky explained, pesticide-free is an obvious choice. "Wasps always show up when food is around, and no one wants to spray pesticides anywhere near the food they're about to eat." Added Zaplatynsky, "If there's an effective pesticide-free option available, customers tend to opt for that first".

Made of durable, weather-resistant fabric, the Original Waspinator is available now at Canadian Tire, Walmart, Zellers and independent retailers. For more information, visit www.contech-inc.com, contact 1-800-767-8658 or email info@contech-inc.com
