We just received this feedback from one of our customers. Although BioDefense is 100% Biodegradable and can be used this way, it is not labeled for use as a weed killer. However,  it seems to work well for this customer who wanted to find a pet friendly, organic weed killer.

“When I read that Biodefense shouldn’t be used on plants,
it got me thinking… so I went out and carefully sprayed the
thistles that I have such a hard time getting rid of in my landscaping. Within 2 hours they were brown and dead…
2 weeks later they haven’t come back. I now have a pet friendly, organic weed killer!! I know you don’t advertise this as a feature, but I am thrilled to have this in my arsenal. I can now treat my weeds and allow my pets to use the yard. It also doesn’t seem to be affecting the plants I want in the yard at all. What a win! Thanks!!”

You are so welcome Jeremy!  Most people don’t understand that commercially available weed killers are highly toxic.
Most of the weed killer and fertilizer products sold at Home
Improvement stores fall under the same category…TOXIC.  Of course they are advertised as safe for your pets and children, but science suggests otherwise.  Ask yourself this question: if the product works for 6-12 months at a time, is it natural and safe? The answer is no. Products that do not break down are not biodegradable and persist in the environment. These products leach into the watershed and are absorbed into your skin when you or your children and pets walk in a treated area…even if it dried for 2 hours. If it stays in the environment for extended periods of time, it is probably toxic to pets, people, and the environment.  The next time you are looking for a pet safe, organic weed killer or natural pest control, give Wondercide a try!

BioDefense Indoor Natural Pest Control- Contact kill formula, No water, Do not mix or dilute

EcoTreat Pro Indoor/Outdoor Pest Control Concentrate - mix with wate

BioDefense is 90% hydrated silica and its spiked with 10% modified cedar oil. There is no water, it is not water soluble. Its the newest technology available with respect to Bio Based pest control and the reason nothing can survive it when contact is made. The molecular structure is significantly smaller than water and therefore, its able to get down to the insects size, suffocating them in seconds. It is a contact kill solution and with a fogger, its able to reach every place in your home, high and low. It can also be used in a sprayer for less severe infestations and other insect issues.   BioDefense can also be used directly on animals and humans, just as you would use Evolv pet spray or Biter Fighter insect repellent. It has a moisturizing quality that eliminates hot spots, dry skin, etc.

EcoTreat Pro is a concentrate. It was our original formula and IS water soluble. It is 90% cedar oil and 10% ethyl lactate (corn oil by-product) that is added to erode the egg, larvae and pupae stages of insect life cycles. You simply add water to the concentrate to make the solution for whatever application method you are using (lawn sprayer, fogger, compression sprayer, etc.) The directions are both online and on the product label.  Its been effectively used since 1992 in indoor and outdoor applications.   It can be used anywhere and everywhere, and on livestock (they have a thick hide).  EcoTreat is not recommended for use on domestic animals and humans because ethyl lactate is a drying agent and would dry out your skin.

The sure way to eliminate fleas & ticks  indoors is to fog with BioDefense, but you can use any combination of these products and methods however you like or however they fit your budget.

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
