SpringStar developed the trap with the Centers for Disease Control
The founders of SpringStar, Michael and Jane Banfield have always been concerned about the environmental and health problems caused by the overuse of harmful chemicals and pesticides. They seek out ‘green’ and pesticide-free products whenever possible but found a lack of non-toxic alternatives when it came to pest control products. Mike and Jane decided to start their own company that would provide consumers with the pesticide-free alternatives that so many of us are looking for. In 1998 the Banfields started operating SpringStar out of their garage and since then the company has grown into one of the most innovative developers and basic manufacturers of non-toxic or low-toxic pest control products.
