Question: I am very interested in your natural flea product for cats, however I have been researching this and cedar oil is harmful to cats because their liver cannot detoxify it. Do you use a different type of cedar oil? How do you know it is safe for cats and kittens? Read the rest of this entry »

You’ve provided the most Wondercide Reviews and product feedback too!

Folks from San Diego seem to really grasp the concept of treating the environment (your property) and spraying your pets down as needed…as opposed to putting drops on the kneck of your pets that resulted in one or both of the following: crazy side effects, ineffective results.

Wondercide Customer Email Excerpt:
Living in Florida in tropical conditions we never have a respite against parasites, it’s 12 months a year fight with some times being worse than other times, right now it’s the flea time and we have incredible fleas that nothing kills. Having sprayed the yard with every chemical on the shelf, powders, granules, and using spot ons, baths, dips on the dogs with no let up I was absolutely overjoyed with the way Evolv killed the fleas on contact. I couldn’t believe it…. Read the rest of this entry »

Q. I bought some Evolv and Eco Treat for a flea problem I am having. I haven’t had a chance to spray the yard yet because of high winds at the moment but have used the Evolv and it works great. Kills on contact; unfortunately no lasting effect as they are back the next day. But I’m wondering… If the Eco Treat works as well for the yard as the Evolv does I will buy the gallon size. Is is possible to use the Eco Treat to spray on the dogs too? It would be so much more economical to be able to just buy the big bottle and use for both.
A. Evolv is a contact killer of parasites (fleas, ticks, mites, lice) and a preventative (repellent) for mosquitoes, ants, chiggers, gnats, etc. There is no such thing as a flea repellent or preventative for fleas, except, to treat the property and eliminate them. If you don’t treat the property, fleas will continue to jump back on your animals because they are heat seeking blood suckers. This is why we recommend treating the property entirely to eliminate the adult fleas you see (only 5% of the life cycle) and the eggs/larvae stages you don’t see (95% of the life cycle). Every female flea produces 500 eggs in a lifetime and can quickly overrun a property that goes untreated.
That being said, we recommend treating your animals, your house (if the animals come inside they brought fleas in with them!) and the yard. To eliminate fleas, you must break the egg layer cycle and the only way to do that is to treat everything. Once you have done that, simply maintain the flea free environment by spraying the yard every 30 days. Mist the dogs once a week with Evolv.
Treating the yard with EcoTreat: On the first treatment,we recommend spraying the yard twice within 4-7 days to break the egg layer cycle. EcoTreat kills the adults, eggs and larvae and this will ensure the cycle is broken.
EcoTreat use on Animals: EcoTreat is a water soluble concentrate. It can be diluted for use indoors and will not stain or attract dirt. You can safely use it anywhere and everywhere inside when diluted. Livestock has a much thicker hide than dogs and its okay to spray them, but the best thing for dogs is Evolv. It repairs and moisturizes the skin and is not water soluble. EcoTreat has the potential to dry them out as the inert is Ethyl Lactate, a corn oil by-product. It’s primary function is to dry out and dissolve the egg and larvae. That being said, we just released a grooming concentrate that can be used on the yard and on the animals. It is about $100 per quart, but makes 8-16 gallons depending on how you dilute it. It will last you a pretty long time. Roughly 7 yard treatments and a gallon of pet spray can be made from one qt of concentrate.
I hope this information helped. Depending on how many fleas you have indoors, consider using BioDefense to treat the indoor property. 1 gallons treats 2,000 sqft. It is the exact same formula as Evolv (just labeled differently). A gallon of BioDefense is on sale for $100 and is 8 times more solution than Evolv (16 oz for $25).
We have also changed out our sprayers on the EcoTreat Qt. that allow for a much more thorough spray. Would you like me to ship one out to you today at our expense? Or, If you plan on placing an order we can include it in that.
Thanks for doing the best thing you can do for your dogs, yourself and the environment! Using chemical free, non toxic solutions to eliminate pests in the most effective and least harmful way you can protect the ones you love!

Recommended Instructions for Flea Eradication with Wondercide™
When these directions are followed, you will no longer have fleas. We can’t emphasize enough; you MUST treat the property completely to remedy the problem. Spraying here and there will NOT make these parasites go away!
INDOOR Control for Pets, People, Property:
For the animals, people and in the house, use EVOLV™, Biter Fighter™ & BioDefense™ as these products will kill the fleas and eggs on contact. All of them can be used on Pets, People & Property (indoor). Be sure to spray everywhere or the fleas will congregate in the untreated areas and the infestation will be back within 3 weeks. You don’t need to soak anything, just a light misting everywhere. BioDefense™ is not meant for use on plant life and cannot be diluted.
BE SURE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS COMPLETELY:
For inside treatment using BioDefense™; just pour it into a pump-up/compression sprayer and lightly mist everywhere inside and on the animals. Begin with the animals then, get the furniture (sides and cushions of couch and chairs, bedding, etc.) Then, spray entire flooring, even closets and hardwood. (You will not need to spray linoleum or tile flooring but, do spray any wooden baseboards around the floors.
IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT FLEAS: Fleas are some of the most difficult parasites to get under control once there is an infestation. They can jump 3-4 feet and can lay dormant up to 3 months. Only 5% of the Flea cycle that you see is adult fleas. Meaning, the other 95% of the flea population is in egg and larvae stages…just waiting to hatch a huge problem if it goes untreated.
BE SURE TO SPRAY EVERY ROOM IN YOUR HOME FIRST! IF YOU LEAVE A ROOM OR EVEN A CLOSET UNTREATED THAT IS WHERE THE FLEAS WILL CONGREGATE. This will not stain anything, including furniture, drapes, carpeting, clothes, etc. (test silk or satin fabrics before spraying).
FOGGING: NEVER fog with animals present inside, including birds. Any person inside while fogging must wear a mask included with our fogger machine. This is the ultimate in flea, mites, bed bug eradication. Nothing will survive BioDefense™ in a fogger if you follow the directions. FLAMMABLE: DO NOT USE Wondercide BioDefense™ NEAR OPEN FLAME.
VERY IMPORTANT: Begin by spraying the sides of furniture; couches, chairs & cushions, bedding, etc. THEN, spray the floors (except vinyl or tile floors) It is imperative to get enough of the BioDefense™ to spray the entire square footage of your home and furniture as well as any animals you may have. Each Gallon of BioDefense™ (used in the compression/pump-up sprayer /fogger will cover 1,000-1,200 sq. ft.)
Example: If you start spraying in the middle of a room, the fleas and eggs that get a direct spray will die within 1-3 seconds but, the fleas in the surrounding areas will try to get away from it by jumping on you, your animals, the furniture, etc. So, if you spray those areas first when the flea jumps there it will retreat back to the floor and subsequently die. I also recommend spraying your legs first so you don’t get bit.
FOR CATS: Unlike dogs, cats are constantly grooming themselves and you don’t want them ingesting too much of the cedar. So, just give them a light misting all over EXCEPT on their face. Spray a little Evolv ™ or BioDefense™ in your hands and just rub it on their face. You can also apply it via eye or ear dropper for ear mites and the fungus thereof. Just do this once or twice per week as needed.
FOR DOGS: Spray liberally everywhere, including the ears via spray, Q-Tip or dropper. You can spray them as often as needed.
OUTSIDE TREATMENT: After spraying thoroughly inside using BioDefense, use EcoTreat™ with a hose-end applicator outside. Begin by spraying the outside of the house first , getting down to the foundation and/or patio and spray outward. Spray the sides of the house, the eves, shrubbery & trees as best as you can. Just pull off the little black tab on the hose-end sprayer to get a 20’ stream for the eves. Spray all structures on premise. Fleas are difficult to get rid of so treat all areas where the fleas are. You must treat 2 times outside, within 4-7 days to end the egg-laying cycle. For example; if you spray outside today, do it again within 4-7 days. Afterward, it is just a maintenance issue of once a month or so, depending on the time of year. (OUTDOOR TREATMENT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FLEA ERADICATION. AFTER ALL, INSECTS COME FROM OUTSIDE
