In the world of pesticides and repellents the words "organic" and "natural" are often mistakenly used to replace one another. To be an "organic gardener" one must use pesticides or repellents that have been approved for use in organic gardening. No such certification exists for a product to be "natural" or even "all-natural."

So, you have products that have gone through a battery of tests and reviews from third-party, disinterested entities, competing against products that allegedly use the words "natural" or "organic" (without any validation) to describe a product that may contain a few ingredients that are found in nature, as well as an ample bevy of artificial components that make getting too close a bit dangerous to your health.

When a manufacturer freely uses the terms "organic" and "natural," you can easily be duped into thinking that you are buying an organic product when unknowingly buying a chemical pesticide along with all its negative lingering side effects.

That is why the government and recognized, non-profit institutions such as the Organic Materials Review Institute should be important to you.
