 Summer definitely makes me happy. I love to swim, watch baseball, and the fact that I don’t have to wear socks for the next four months. But if there’s one thing that I don’t look forward to during summers, its well, the bugs. Insect bites are painful and dangerous so going outside to explore especially in a wooded area should be taken with an extra precaution of putting on insect repellents.
However, insect repellents are neither eco friendly and are laden with so many chemicals. A lot of these are made with DEET, (I highly recommend deet free insect repellent over these) a substance which is very effective in warding off insects but not something that you want to be floating in your bloodstream, which is where it ends up after you spray it on your skin. The wonderful thing is, there are several natural insect repellents for those who want to protect themselves from bug bites and harmful chemicals.
Try to search in Google for “do it yourself insect repellent” and you’ll get more than your fair share of useful recipes. In a lot of these resources, the main ingredient is alcohol (either the sterilizing kind or the one you drink) and other essential oils.
Here’s one recipe that I can recommend:
Ingredients:
1 cup of grain alcohol (preferably organic), vodka or witch hazel;
30 drops of essential oils (lavender, citronella, rosemary, rose geranium, lemon or tea tree oil) – pick only one or a combination of two 
Directions:
Put all ingredients into a spray bottle, shake well and spray generously on your skin before going outside.
This recipe is also useful in warding off ticks, fleas, wasps and other pests. Remember to place this natural insect repellent in a dark bottle away from heat and sunlight.
You may also put a small amount of essential oils directly on your skin. Try to put more in your elbows, the backs of your knees and the backs of your ears as well. But remember to test a small sample on your skin first to see if you may have some allergic reactions to it.
If you prefer to buy your natural insect repellent instead of making it, there are several varieties available in the market. You can try Wondercide’s Biter Fighter natural insect repellent that’s safe for kids, natural and DEET free.

 Flowers need the best tender loving care for them to provide those beautiful blooms that you desire. One way to do this is by constantly checking if they are free from insect damage. This ensures that the flowers are always safe and secure. Being a home gardener, you must be vigilant for possible solutions to your home garden’s health problems. This will help you succeed in your flower gardening business.
Planting the same kind of flowers must be avoided because they carry the same pest attackers. You’ll suffer a great loss if all of your flowers are infected. So a great way to minimize the attack of pests is to practice a multiple-cropping system. This has been proven effective and also improves the soil condition while lessening your pesticide costs.
Another method is to include insect repellant crops in your garden. This system together with the multiple-cropping system doubles your gain versus your production cost. These crops help control destructive insect pests. They have an organic smell that drives off insect pests.
A few examples of plant natural insect repellant include:
Lemon grass. Plant them by the sides of the fence as border plants.
Marigold. These are also good as border plants. Plant them between plots.
Neem tree. Plant them around your garden. They also serve as wind breakers.
Cosmos. Plant them as border plants between flowers.
These plant repellants can be fund all over the country. Check with your local agriculture extension office and get some advice regarding garden pest control.
Additional natural insect control for common pests
Chewing insect pests (hard or soft-bodied). Mash 10 gloves of garlic or a medium size onion. Mix with 2 quarts of water. Let it sit for a while. Strain to remove impurities. Immediately spray the solution without diluting it. To make it stronger particularly for those hard-bodied insects, add 30 pieces cayenne pepper.
Warning: Cayenne pepper is irritating to the eyes. Use protective eye covers when using them.
Sucking insect pests (hard or soft bodied). Melt ½ a bar bath soap (not detergent soap) in 8 quarts of water. When dissolved, immediately spray directly to the insect pests. For hard-bodied pests, add 2 teaspoon salt and 30 pieces cayenne pepper.
Aphids and red ants. Soak 1-2 dried tobacco leaves overnight in 1 liter water. Strain and mix 2 teaspoons powder soap (any powder soap). Spray directly into the ants or aphids. This mixture can also be used for hard-bodied insect pests. Add 20-30 pieces powdered hot pepper.
Use protective eye covers to protect eyes.
By using the natural pest control, you protect our environment by reducing chemical pollution. If you can control it, avoid using chemical insecticides at all cost if you can go on the natural way of controlling pests.

 A lot of people would love to feed their beloved pets healthy food alternatives but fail to do so due to its high price. What these pet owners do not realize is that an all natural and holistic pet food will actually save them money in the long run. How is it cheaper at $1.20 a pound? It is possible because you feed pets much less food (roughly 20% to 40% less) simply because the food is an all natural pet product with absolutely no fillers and by-products.
You also save a lot by avoiding unnecessary vet visits and the use of harmful synthetic medications to fix your pets’ allergies (the #1 reason pets go to the vet’s office) and immune disorders (which can lead to chronic and serious conditions).
Feeding all natural pet foods greatly reduces premature aging in our pets which is usually associated with poor nutrition. A number of degenerative diseases, such as cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, and even diabetes have been discovered to either be hurried or slowed by what is eaten. The exact same benefits that a properly put-together home-made diet will provide for your pet and more!
Scientists have proven that as pets and owners eat unhealthy and enormous amounts of food, they age much faster. At the same time, they are more prone to diseases and consequently, higher vet and doctor bills. So why hasn’t the vet changed my pet’s diet yet? This is because vets receive little education on pet nutrition while in school. Plus, many vets make a lot of money by offering the commercial pet foods.
Just like humans, pets are susceptible to a variety of diseases and illnesses because of a weakened immune system caused by poor nutrition and pesticides, some of which are permanent. These issues can be avoided with natural pet products. To give an example, pets are more susceptible to the following conditions by a weakened immune system:
· Parasites (e.g. fleas, mange) 
· Cancer & leukemia (in cats)
· Frequent colds or flu
· Recurrent bacterial infections & viruses
· Fungal disease
· Slow wound healing
· Frequent injury
· Allergies
· Respiratory inflammations
· Diabetes
· Aging dogs and cats
· Frequent vet visits for minor ailments
Pet owners now understand that treating their pet’s current illness is not the only way to deal with an animal’s health condition. Preventative care is critical for animals, just as it is for humans. Not only the proper pet grooming supplies are needed to properly care for your pet, observe the animal and distinguish between normal behavior and abnormal behavior. Pets reflect the emotions of their owners and the kind of environment they live in. Feelings like fear, anxiety, worry or depression can lead to disease because they deplete the body of its natural vitality and thereby compromising the immune system. What an animal eats and the amount of chemicals used, along with the peace of his environment forms the foundation of his overall well-being. By feeding all natural foods and using natural pet products, you are boosting your pet’s natural immune defenses, improving its health, increasing its athletic performance, and adding years to its life.

 Did you know that fleas could jump 100 times their own height? Also, a female flea can produce 20,000 eggs in 3 months! And these eggs could hatch in three to six weeks. Talk about skin crawling trivia. Fleas are tiny brown wingless insects which feed on the blood of our pets. And the dreadful thing about them is that, like most parasites, once they find their food source they can be very difficult to get rid of. They can also easily spread to your other pets and throughout your entire home. If you tried to deal with fleas before, you know how frustrating it can be.
There are several home remedies to prevent flea problems for our pets. Adding garlic to a dog’s meals may help them keep free of fleas. The same can also be said if we add sulphur to their diet once a week. Brewers Yeast is available in many health food stores and it may also help repel ticks and mosquitoes. These are not overnight solutions though, and can take about four to six weeks before they can be effective, if at all.
To know if your pet has a flea infestation, examine the animal closely by separating the hair on the animal’s back or belly area. Try to inspect the skin as thoroughly as possible. You might see a flea scuttling by but you will more likely see their traces in the form of small black pebbles. To make sure it is flea dirt (feces), take some wet paper towel and wipe it over areas where the dirt is most prominent. When it dissolves into red blood, you are indeed having a flea problem. You may also see small white specs that look like salt, which are the flea eggs that feed off of the flea dirt once hatched.
Another natural flea control remedy for keeping your pet flea free is by bathing them. Look for an herbal shampoo which contains a combination of cedar, bergamot, rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, juniper or geranium. Here’s another trick when bathing your dog. Fleas tend to run to the higher and drier area, in this case, the dog’s head. Don’t soak your dog’s hair with water; instead, pour a thick layer of shampoo all around its head and neck area. Pour only small amounts of water on the soapy area and begin building a thick soapy barrier that will kill the fleas which attempt to pass through it. You can then wet and lather the rest of your pet’s body but always return to massage and lather the neck area. As fleas can be difficult to eliminate, leave the shampoo on your pet for around 15 minutes while continuing to massage the soap deep into the pet’s fur. After this, rinse the animal very well and dry it fully. Once properly bathed and dried, Wondercide Evolv Pet Spray should be used to eliminate any remaining fleas and protect them from picking up more.
 If your house is infested with fleas, one solution is to use food grade Diatomaceous Earth. Don’t use pool grade DE. You can purchase Diatomaceous Earth from your local garden, pet or feed store. The diatomaceous earth contains tiny particles which have sharp spines, which puncture the flea and kills it. You may try sprinkling the solution on your carpets and allow it to sit for only a couple of days or so. It may not be safe for your pet to breathe it continually so make sure that you get rid of it as soon as possible. Therefore, you may have to repeat the process several times depending on the severity of the infestation. DE can also be useful in Dog runs or large yards that have constant wild animals like deer, squirrels, and opossums.
More often than not, BioDefense is the best remedy for indoor flea infestations. It can give complete coverage of the home environment in a short period of time and there won’t be powder (or chemicals) all over your home. The most important fact to remember is ALL INSECTS COME FROM THE OUTSIDE. Therefore, it is imperative that the outdoor environment be treated and maintained to avoid a re-infestation or future problems. Wondercide’s Eco Treat Pro lawn sprayer successfully eliminates all stages of the flea life cycle (egg, larvae, and pupae) which will in turn prevent adults from hitching a ride on your pet.

 Sadly, people who suspect they have mites are routinely brushed off by the medical community as “crazy” (Parasitic psychosis). At Wondercide, we know that an individual describing the torment and horror of oozing skin lesions and sensations of bugs biting and crawling under their skin is not a delusion, rather the attack of a microscopic mite parasite.
Because they are both surface and airborne, mites are a difficult parasite to understand and control, especially when they attack humans. You may or may not know there are numerous species of mites. Some humans are bothered by them and some fortunately are not. Some mites live on plants and infest agriculture crops. While dust mites can cause severe allergies for people and affect their respiratory system. Other people complain of skin mites and bed mites, which may all be the same mites. We do not claim to be experts on each and every type of mite inhabiting planet Earth, but have over the years been exposed to a variety of dilemmas created by mites. Through lab, field tests, and customer feedback of personal experiences, it is known that Wondercide’s BioDefense will kill and control a long list of mites without using toxic chemicals, which have no effect anyway.
Daily applications of BioDefense indoor pest control to the body appear to be extremely effective and are 100% safe. The formulation is limited to penetration of the epidermal layer of skin and will not migrate into the blood stream to cause nausea or other health issues.
 Wondercide makes no explicit guarantees as to results of BioDefense in mite control, but will relate to you that after years of on-going field experience and testing, it appears that the miticide BioDefense is one of very few mite and ear mite treatment products that will kill mites of many varieties without poisoning you, your kids, pets or household with dangerous neuro-toxic chemicals.
Fogging with BioDefense has brought relief to hundreds of homes troubled by mite infestations. We suggest the same mite treatment would benefit you. We do not have all of the answers, but feel we are getting closer to having the majority of them. Since it is impossible to identify all of the different species of mites, it is somewhat difficult to make claims of 100% control. We will continue ongoing experiments and compile feedback from our customers to pass the findings on to everyone.
As to the comprehensive testing done by Iowa State for the USDA, the results will not be released until the commentary and objection period has been concluded. Our understanding is that published data will be forthcoming by mid 2010, subject to the objections of the Chemical Companies that consistently insist on lobbying against Chemical Free and Biological products. We can only pass on to you the statistical results that we received verbally and those that are obviously confirmed by users of the product. Of the 30 Chemical and Non Chemical products tested, only BIODEFENSE enjoyed a 100% mortality rate. Second in place was Methyl Bromide, a very toxic chemical substance and it produced only a 19% mortality rating. All others were below 10%.
Since mite issue experiences vary among our customers we find that it’s helpful to communicate with others that have suffered too. For good information regarding Mites and their control check out Wondercide blog!

 The psychiatric industry, in an effort to discover “mental disorders” from every human activity, has just invented the most ridiculous disease yet: Healthy eating disorder.
Seriously! If you choose to eat healthy foods, you’ve got a “mental disease” and might need some chemical treatment for it. The Guardian newspaper reported that “Fixation with healthy eating can be a sign of serious psychological disorder.” They even have a name for the “disease”: orthorexia nervousa – Latin for “nervous about correct eating.”
These people used the Latin term because simply calling it as a “nervous healthy eating disorder” sounds as if they don’t know what they’re talking about.
The Guardian continues, “Orthorexics commonly have rigid rules around eating. Refusing to touch sugar, salt, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, gluten, yeast, soya, corn and dairy foods is just the start of their diet restrictions. Any foods that have come into contact with pesticides, herbicides or contain artificial additives are also out.”
What? If you wish to avoid chemicals, dairy, soy and sugar in your food, you are now a mental health patient? Yep. According to these experts, if you take special care to avoid pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified ingredients like soy and sugar, there’s something wrong with you.
But did you notice that eating junk food is assumed to be “normal?” If you eat processed junk foods laced with synthetic chemicals, you’re normal. The basket cases are those who eat organic, natural foods, apparently.
What is “normal” when it comes to foods?
The Guardian even ridiculously states, “The obsession about which foods are “good” and which are “bad” means orthorexics can end up malnourished.”
Think of it: Eating “good” foods will cause malnutrition! Conversely, eating bad foods is assumed to provide all the nutrients you need. That’s crazy. It could also explain why there are a lot of sickly folks out there: The mainstream media is telling them that eating healthy food is a mental disorder that will cause malnutrition!
Shut up and swallow your Soylent Green
If you were to believe mainstream media and its processed food advertisers, just sit down, shut up, and dig in, regardless of the food’s health properties. And if you “obsess” over foods (by doing such things as reading the ingredients labels, for example), then you’re weird or even sick.
The message is: Junk food eaters are “normal” and “sane” and “nourished.” Health food eaters are diseased, abnormal and malnourished.
But why attack healthy eaters? Dr. Gabriel Cousens can tell you why: Because increased mental and spiritual awareness is only possible while on a diet of living, natural foods.
Eating junk foods dumb you down making you easier to control. It messes with your mind and numbs your senses with MSG, aspartame and yeast extract. People who live on junk foods lose the ability to think for themselves. They simply do whatever said on the TV.
In contrast to that, people who eat healthy foods awaken their minds and spirits. They question the reality around them and pursue enlightened topics like community, nature, ethics, philosophy and the bigger picture of things in the world.
For people to keep blindly buying foods, medicines, health insurance and consumer goods, they need to have their higher brain functions switched off. Processed junk foods laced with toxic chemicals do just that. Why do you think processed foods remain in public schools, hospitals and prisons? It’s because these foods turn off higher levels of awareness and keep people focused on distractions that can feed their brains: Television, violence, fear, sports, sex, etc.
Eat healthy foods to be alive, aware and in control of your own life. Just don’t expect to be popular with mainstream mental health “experts” — they’re all being programmed to consider you to be “crazy” if you don’t eat their mainstream foods full of synthetic chemicals.
But you and I know the truth: We are the normal ones. The junk food eaters are the real mental patients! The only way to wake them up is to start feeding them real foods.
There’s nothing wrong with avoiding sugar, soy, MSG, aspartame, HFCS and other toxic chemicals in the food supply. In fact, your very life depends on it.
If you want to get more infos about healthy eating and anything at all about the organic lifestyle, don’t hesitate to subscribe to our RSS feed here at Wondercide organic pest control and natural pet products. We would love to hear from you!

Whenever we see weeds or pests infesting our garden, our immediate reaction is to apply chemicals such as weed killers or pesticides. But we have to know that as we use these substances to manage our lawn and garden, we are also being exposed to their harmful effects. Exposure to pesticides and herbicides has been linked to Parkinson’s, infertility, cancer, birth defects, ADHD and lymphoma, to name a few. Even though you can’t see them, pesticide residues, which are often more harmful than pesticides themselves, remain in the home and lawn for 6 months up to several years.
The law does not require the same standard of testing for residential use lawn pesticides as it does for commercial pesticides used around farmed animals and vegetation for food production. In both instances, pesticide manufacturers are responsible for doing the efficacy & toxicity testing of their own products. The EPA reviews it, but does not test it themselves. There is not a true check and balance system. Lawn pesticides contain ingredients which will never be tested for harmful effects simply because the current law in the USA doesn’t require it. In addition, the Center for Disease Control has reported an alarming number of cases related to farm worker illness from exposure to pesticides used in food production.
Aside from harming humans, these insect killers also pollute the air, water, soil, plants, and animals all around us. Studies have shown that pesticides harm the helpful insects like honeybees, butterflies, ladybugs (which eat a lot of other bad pests) and are highly toxic to toads, frogs, and fish. The scary thing is that these lawn fertilizers and pesticides seep into the water table through rain, runoff, and storm drains!
We should learn how to control pests without using harmful chemicals in order to help our health and our environment. Healthy organic soil is the best way to lessen the amount of pests in the first place. Plants grow quickly in organic environments because the healthy surroundings naturally fight off pests.
A good, non toxic organic bug killer is WonDefense natural insect control by Wondercide. The active ingredient cedar oil (cedar oil extract) damages the wax coating of the insect’s respiratory system and suffocates it. Wondercide also makes a product called EcoTreat outdoor insect control that attaches to a water hose for easy application to your home lawn and garden.
Here are other helpful links about pesticides and important information about them:
- Beyond Pesticides – This contains fact sheets about specific chemical and what to do in a pesticide emergency. They also provide the least toxic solutions for common household and garden pests.
- Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides – They offer the latest news on pesticide issues and healthy solutions to pest problems.
- Pesticide Action Network Pesticide Database – They have a database of pesticide toxicity and other regulatory information. Their reference section provides information about pesticides and their effects on our health.
- Food News – They offer a downloadable wallet card to help you choose produce which has a low exposure to harmful pesticides.

When garden pests suddenly attack, eco minded gardeners do not run to the store to buy the latest pesticides. As an alternative, they turn to integrated pest management (IPM). IPM involves a combination of common sense practices which puts emphasis on the least toxic biological and environmental ways to control pests, while having the least possible damage to people, animals and the environment.
Integrated pest management methods involve understanding a pest and its life cycle and habits. The use of IPM gardening ensures that you are growing healthier plants which don’t leave behind toxic chemicals on your lawns and into waterways. Also, you will notice that there will be an increase of good insects in your garden. Using artificial pesticides usually kills these helpful insects known as beneficial insects which pollinate the plants and vegetables.
It should be noted that IPM accepts a certain amount of pest damage and the amount of damage is up to the gardener. IPM is similar to organic gardening in a lot of ways. But the biggest difference is with IPM, manmade pesticides are only used in extreme cases as a last resort. Since IPM works by monitoring the behavior of pests, it guarantees that artificial pesticides are used in moderation. Wondercide does not agree with the practice or philosophy of using synthetic chemical pesticides that are toxic.
Here are the basic steps to IPM:
You should first identify the pest properly. Some insects, weeds and organisms are beneficial to the garden so you must research carefully regarding this. The next step is to figure out the individual life cycles and behavior patterns so that you can use the best method of treatment at any time of their development. The third step will be to monitor the area of activity as this will help you with the last step which is to figure out how much damage you are willing to take before control measures are finally used.
The key to a successful integrated pest management practice is prevention. Crop rotations, cleaning your garden regularly and manually picking off insects from plants are all chemical free methods.
When these prevention controls do not work, then the last resort should be considered. “Soft” controls such as repellants, soaps and oils that do not harm the environment and beneficial insects can be used. An example of this is the organic garden spray which protects garden plants from insects such as mites, whitefly and aphids. It also controls fungal diseases like black spot, rust, mildew and scab. The cedar oil spray has no harmful effects on beneficial organisms like traditional pesticides do. 
Typical pesticides may be used under the integrated pest management approach but you will never get to this point if you use Wondercide outdoor insect control. The last step is to assess your results. Your management will improve over time as you get to know what works best for your garden. In the end, you will enjoy a lively and healthy garden, and you will definitely spend less time and money dealing with pests.

I got a call today from a man named Frank. Retired, he lives in rural Ohio with his wife and 4 dogs. He wanted to talk about spot flea treatment. They live on a large property where the dogs can run free, but Max is usually with Frank. A few months ago Frank was injured. Through a series of tests, it was determined he would have to go into the hospital for surgery. He was there for weeks and hated the food. When Frank arrived home he was not mobile. He spent most of his days stuck in bed on pain killers he hated taking and Max was right beside him. A few weeks ago, Frank realized Max was acting strange. He was dragging his left rear leg and he looked like he was in pain. Frank asked his wife to take Max to the vet. He wanted to know what was going on with his 5 year young Doberman. He knew it couldn’t wait.
 Photo courtesy ilovedogs.com When Frank woke up from his groggy nap a few days ago, his wife stood before him in tears. She said, “there is nothing they could do”. Frank explained to me exactly as she explained to him, and in his voice I could hear him living it all over again. “They put Max through a series of tests. They did an MRI because they didn’t see anything on the X Ray. They found a tumor on his neck between his shoulder blades.” As Frank cried, he told me that it was his fault. Frank thinks he killed his best friend Max, who didn’t get to live long enough. Frank told me how he called the vet and cussed him out for selling him chemical flea treatment to put on his dog. Frank said the tumor was in the exact location where he applied spot flea treatment on Max’s neck for 5 years. The vet stood firm that there was no proof of that claim. The vet didn’t appreciate it or offer his condolences. The call ended and Frank is officially looking for a new vet. Frank ponders the notion that vets must love animals, but something is wrong if they can’t admit these pesticides are harmful. Sobbing, he asks how they can keep doing this to dogs like Max? He was so young. I told Frank that I didn’t know, but I was very sorry and very sad for him.
Frank said, “I just called to tell you what happened to Max. I knew you would understand. I talked to you a few months ago before my surgery.” After a pause, “I’m sorry. I just needed to tell someone who cares as much as I do… that my Max is gone. I had to share his story… because I can’t bare to think of… other animals… being poisoned.” Frank told me he came across Wondercide last fall. He recalled being hesitant to “go green” at his age, but was tired of all the pesticides and thought it “just makes sense”. After our first conversation, Frank started using Wondercide on his property and 4 dogs. Now, Frank will use Wondercide on his 3 dogs.
Our thoughts and hearts are with you. Max the Doby & Frank the Man.

Q. Just did the eco-friendly flea bomb and must have resistant fleas. Anyhow, do you have any info regarding your system with pet rabbits? Since they are such sensitive small animals am cautious about using anything that may be harmful to the bunny in the house. Secondly any information regarding pregnant women? I have my pregant daughter- in-law living at home. Thanks. p.s live in town home so inside is primary concern. I have used “heavy chemical” insecticide bombs before but the afterward cleanup is a chore.
A. What eco friendly flea bomb did you do? I’m not aware of any! Wondercide™ products are not harmful to rabbits or pregnant women. All Wondercide™ products are 100% Non toxic to pets, people and property. Not just natural and organic, non toxic. Here’s the scoop on pregnant women. It’s great that you ask because women who are exposed to pesticides while pregnant have an increased risk of multiple neurological and developmental issues for their child. Even if the mother isn’t present while pesticides are sprayed, the residues linger in the home and lawn for 6 months up to several years. The pesticides are absorbed through the skin like hands and bare feet, inhaled by breathing air circulating in the home, or ingested from counter tops and food stuffs. If the product doesn’t say non toxic, be very careful. “Safe” is not a regulated term for pesticide products or pest control service companies who spray permethrins (and tell you it is natural and safe because it comes from a flower).
Rabbits are sensitive and it can be difficult to find products to use on or around them. Fortunately, Wondercide EVOLV™ can be used directly on the rabbit for fleas, while our other products are completely safe to use in the home and living environment. Wondercide™ products contain cedar, and while many cedar products are toxic to small animals like cats and rabbits becuase of phenols that affect their liver, Wondercide™ is specially formulated with zero phenols. Their is no toxicity to small animals.
If you have a flea infestation, we recommend treating the entire home with Wondercide BioDefense™ organic pesticide in one of two ways. BioDefense™ should be applied to all flooring, furniture, surfaces, etc by pump-up hand sprayer or you can use an ultra low volume, non thermal fogger machine that we both rent or sell. 1 Gallon BioDefense™ will cover 1500 sqft in a sprayer or up to 2000 sqft in a fogger. There is a video and more info on the BioDefense™ product page here.
All insects come from outside. You may also consider treating your outdoor areas like lawn and landscaping with EcoTreat Outdoor pest control, which is also 100% non toxic to humans, pets, and the environment. If you decide to treat everything, we offer package deals with the products you need to have complete elimination. Of course, you can start with just one quart of Biodefense™ to spray around the home and you will see how fast and effective it is.
We hope this helps! Please let us know if you have additional questions! And thank you for asking questions in an effort to protect your family from toxic pesticides!
