The company, based in Cartersville, Georgia, was formed in 1990 by Dan Ritter as a manufacturer of odor-control products for industrial and institutional markets. With its decades of experience developing odor-control products, EES, Inc., partnered with the University of Florida, Gainesville, which was undertaking a long-term study on the effectiveness of Geraniol as an insect repellent. Geraniol, a powerful ingredient extracted from geranium oil through a unique refining process, does indeed provide a natural and extremely effective insect repellent. EES is now the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of products using the patented technology under the BugBand brand. |
