TRANSCRIPT
Our StoryBioSafe Systems, LLC is a labor of love for President and CEO Rob Larose. Our story began while he was working in the environmental remediation and environmental cleanup industry. At the time, Rob visited his uncle’s greenhouse located in Connecticut. He had spent a lot of time over the years helping his uncle in the greenhouse, and during his visit, Rob noticed his uncle spraying a pesticide with a chemical formulation identical to the insecticide that his company had just completed cleaning up at a Pennsylvania project site.
Seeing his uncle spray this insecticide with no personal protection equipment in place struck a chord with Rob to say the least, prompting him to take a soil sample (from the dirt floor of the greenhouse) for chemical testing and analysis. Rob thought to himself, “If that stuff is nasty enough to warrant specialized waste cleanup, it cannot be safe to be around, let alone breathe in.” When the soil test results came back, Rob’s concerns and fears were realized, as decades worth of chemical applications were still sitting in that greenhouse. Immediately, Rob began working with his father, a microbiologist, to create a safer alternative. Rob and his father, Rene Larose, pulled from his father’s experience working in the poultry industry to come up with a safer alternative for more toxic and residual pesticides.
Rene had been working with activated peroxides at his company, Arbor Acres, to reduce bacterial and fungal contamination within poultry operations and brought the reformulated peroxyacetic acid formula to be used within commercial greenhouses to control plant diseases. And so, BioSafe Systems was born.
Centered on unique activated peroxide chemistries, BioSafe Systems’ lines of home, garden and pond products use the same powerful and distinctive formulas professional growers have been using for years. BioSafe is proud to be able to offer solutions for consumers that are field tested, proven effective and US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) registered. Our ingredients include our patented activated peroxide formula, botanical extracts and naturally occurring fatty acids. All BioSafe products meet the requirements of the NOP (National Organic Program) and many are also OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) listed.
Since 1998 the Larose family has owned and operated BioSafe Systems as a successful example of the American dream. We stay true to basic American values of honesty and responsibility in business. BioSafe products are proudly made in the USA.
At BioSafe Systems, we stand by our mission: Simply Sustainable. Always Effective. We strive to do things in a natural, organic way. We believe that every product should be safe for not only the person using it, but also for their families, pets and the surrounding environment. BioSafe Systems is proud to offer sustainable and eco-friendly products that do not leave a footprint. Our vision is to always be stewards of the environment, creating sustainable solutions that have no lasting impact.
This sustainable thinking is what helped us get our start in the home and garden market. We knew our products worked well in the large, commercial agriculture and greenhouse markets, but they were also safe enough to be used around people and animals. This perfect combination allowed us to start a line of products, with the same chemistries, to be used in gardens, farms, kitchens, daycares and more. Our retail lines allow our customers to tackle pathogens and pests that can affect their families without using harsh, harmful chemicals. As a family-owned business, we understand that the safety of one’s family is always number one.

Hear What Your Customers Say About BioSafeBIOSAFE DISEASE CONTROL“It’s going to be safe on the fruit you’re going to eat in a month or two, but it’s also safe for your child if he pulls the leaf off as soon as you spray, or your pet licks it right off. You don’t have to worry about those things. It’s safe all around.”
BIOSAFE PLANT FOOD“I used BioSafe Plant Food the other day. I filled four different watering cans with it and my flowers looked vibrant and rich! I can’t believe it. The colors are out of this world and they are visibly BIGGER! I am so excited, I have so much more to do. I’m here to tell you it works like a dream. Amazing!”
BIOSAFE MOLD & MILDEW CONTROL“My husband and I love that stuff. We used it on the siding of the house, the northern shaded side. The BioSafe Mold and Mildew Treatment lasted for a few years. We were so impressed! This time we have used it on the same spot as well as the deck. Your product line is one of my favorites. It does what it is supposed to do, with a gentler impact on the environment and, furthermore, you guys ROCK on customer service! That means a lot, believe me.”
SANIDATE HARD SURFACE SANITIZER (RTU)“It is a good feeling knowing that every time I use SaniDate on kitchen counters, sinks, chicken-stained cutting boards, fruit, veggies, etc., I’m killing the bacteria that are there. The added bonus is that SaniDate is an organic, safe, non-toxic spray with a pleasant, clean smell. I’m a very satisfied customer.”
SANIDATE“The other great thing about SaniDate is that it also kills germs that cause our fruit to deteriorate, so fruit and vegetables stay fresher longer. What’s not to like about that?”
"The BioSafe line of garden products help me keep my garden looking its best without worrying about my family's safety. I won't use anything else!"

As the makers of ZeroTol 2.0 and OxiDate 2.0, BioSafe Systems’ retail line of lawn and garden products utilize the same unique and effective formulations that are being used in commercial applications – just packaged in smaller sizes.
With the branded BioSafe name and proven results, the retail line is easy to sell.
Retail Name Commercial Name
BioSafe Insect Control AzaGuard Botanical Insecticide/Nematicide
BioSafe Weed Control AXXE Broad-Spectrum Herbicide
BioSafe Disease Control OxiDate 2.0 Fungicide/Bactericide & ZeroTol 2.0 Fungicide/Bactericide
BioSafe’s water treatment products such as GreenCleanPRO and GreenClean Liquid 2.0 are used in national parks and by other federal and municipal authorities because they are effective, sustainable and less toxic than alternative products. This is the same chemistry as GreenClean Granular Algaecide used in backyard water features.
“We have used BioSafe Systems products in our production facilities for many years. When we found out BioSafe was coming out with a retail line of insect and disease control, we thought it would be a good fit in our garden centers. BioSafe products have helped differenti-ate our business from the big box stores. BioSafe is not available in these stores, so it puts us one step ahead by being able to offer these completely safe disease and insect controls. BioSafe is a great company with great products that we already knew and trusted.”
– Jessica Hart, store manager, Hart’s Greenhouse and Florist, Norwich, Connecticut
“People buy BioSafe products because we educate them about them, explaining that when it comes to fast-acting ingredients and effectiveness, BioSafe is #1. For example, we have a large retail garden center, and from time to time we get fungus on our roses. BioSafe Disease Control QUICKLY and safely controls any situations we have had. Using BioSafe Disease Control has improved the overall quality of our plant material, as well as helping solve customer problems. I would recommend BioSafe products because quality products and a professional staff make BioSafe the easy choice.”

GreenClean pH UP and GreenClean pH DOWN slowly raise or lower the pH of pond water, making it more alkaline or acidic. Keeping pH levels in a neutral range is essential for the health of aquatic life, plants and the pond ecosystem. An unbalanced pH level suppresses the proper amount of nutrients aquatic plants need to thrive and is a major cause of fish stress and disease. When pH levels are too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic) your water is out of balance and the environment promotes algae growth and unpleasant odor. By maintaining a neutral pH range, 6.8–7.8, water features are clean and healthy.
WHY IT’S BETTERGreenClean pH UP and GreenClean pH DOWN are compliant with USDA National Organic Program requirements. These easy-to-use products will not promote algae growth and are safe for fish and delicate aquatic plants.
