VISTA, Calif., March 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EcoBlu Products, Inc., (OTCBB:ECOB) announced today that it has shipped over 6,500 board feet of BLUWOOD™ coated lumber to Center Termite and Pest Control of Southern California for termite remediation work. Center Termite exclusively uses BLUWOOD™ coated lumber in all of its work because of its ability to protect against termites, mold, rot, and fire.
Center Termite & Pest Control, Inc. has been in business for over 30 years serving the Southern California market. Owner Mark Hernandez stated, "When we did our research on EcoBlu and BLUWOOD™ it just made perfect sense, especially for a company specializing in termite control. Since we started using BLUWOOD™ exclusively on our customers' homes, they have been extremely satisfied knowing that termites cannot damage their property again. I will never use any other wood."
"Center Termite has made a conscious decision not just to replace wood that has been damaged by termites with more food for the insects, but to replace it with an environmentally safe product that cannot be eaten by termites again, saving our forests," said Steve Conboy, President and CEO of EcoBlu Products.
The University of California at Berkeley estimates that a billion board feet of lumber is used each year to replace wood damaged by termites. This is approximately half of all of the lumber consumed in California every year.
