The report specifically identifies the Toxic Substances Control Act as “the most egregious example of ineffective regulation of chemical contaminants” and calls for the law to be strengthened so that the Environmental Protection Agency can act to protect the public from known carcinogens like asbestos and formaldehyde.

The statistics on cancer in America are shocking. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in America; more than 1.5 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2009, when the disease cost the nation more than $243 billion in direct medical costs and lost productivity. The lifetime chance of a man developing an invasive cancer is about one in two, and approximately one in four men die from cancer. For women, the lifetime chance of developing an invasive cancer is one in three, and one in five will die.

But we don’t need statistics to know that the personal and social costs of cancer are enormous. As we continue our national efforts to reduce smoking, the use of chemical pesticides,  and educate the public about the health risks of obesity, we must also move quickly to address the threat posed by toxic chemicals. Wondercide™ and the NRDC urge to you take a leadership role in the effort to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act to ensure that the EPA has the authority it needs to protect the public from exposure to cancer-causing chemicals in our homes, our schools and our workplaces.

Millions of Americans are living with cancer, and millions more are affected by the devastating toll a cancer diagnosis takes on an individual and a family. Please make cancer prevention a priority and help strengthen the law that has failed to protect us from cancer-causing chemicals.

Take Action against Chemicals that Cause Cancer!

It’s amazing to talk to all of the “converted” users about the differences between traditional pest control products and Wondercide.   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.

Thank you for your support San Diego!  If you live in the local area, go by and visit A Pets Best Friend.  They are avid users of many Wondercide products and offer it locally.  On their site, you can also take the Dog Food Analysis Test to make sure you are feeding your pets quality pet food, not big box food.  Tell Diane we sent you!

With hot annual temperatures and high relative humidity, Houston is the perfect environment for pesky fleas, ticks and mosquitoes to breed and quickly take over our lives.  Of course, the huge water roaches Houston is famous for are a force to be reckoned with in their own right.  So, what do we do if we don’t want to use chemicals on our pets and the property where we live?   Sometimes it’s best to step away from a problem, look at it from a nontraditional perspective, and determine an alternative way to achieve success.  That is exactly what a group of local business women have done for green, cost conscious, pest control products.

Understandably, pesticides were long thought of as the lesser of two evils.  Most of us are familiar with the “mosquito trucks” emitting a fog of pesticides in the evenings. Many of us with pest control services are told the protocol is necessary and safe.  In truth, we have long been warned of the hazardous effects of pesticide use in and around our homes, children, and animal companions. But, we certainly can’t have fleas on our pets or mosquitoes making a meal of our children.  Recently, there has been an ever increasing amount of data on the side effects of these chemicals and it’s making local and national headlines.  Stories related to pesticide use regarding Autism, ADD and ADHD in children, Alzheimer’s in adults, to illness and death of dogs and cats using topical flea & tick controls, make it all too obvious that it’s time we start asking the tough questions.

So what do we use? What can we do?  Until recently, there weren’t any alternatives to traditional products like spot on flea and tick controls for pets, or home, lawn and garden pest control.  Now, there is WONDERCIDE.  It’s like pesticide, but wonderfully, not.  

Wondercide is a proven, non toxic alternative to traditional, chemical pesticides.  All of the products are certified Organic by the USDA, made with Human Food Grade Ingredients, and have a 100% insect kill rate within seconds.  You’ve heard the old adage, “Treat the Source not the Symptom” and that’s exactly how Wondercide works. It is a biological control which eliminates the egg layer of the insect life cycle. Did you know that for every adult flea you see there are 95% more in egg, larvae and pupae stages?  By eliminating 95% of the life cycle that will hatch in your home and lawn, you control the pest population and thereby protect your loved ones from invasion.   It’s that simple.

You or service professionals can apply BioDefense™ ($35) indoors after cleaning. After lawn maintenance, spray the lawn, plants and vegetables with EcoTreat™ ($25) Organic Pest Control.  Wondercide EcoTreat™ comes in a ready to use sprayer that attaches to your garden hose and is simply applied by watering your plants and grass. With over 500,000 mosquito misting systems and lawn sprinkler systems in the Houston Metro, EcoTreat Pro™ was formulated and approved for use in all of them.   EVOLV™ ($25) Flea and Tick spray for pets kills fleas and ticks on contact. It can quickly be applied once a week or as needed for the dog park and other uncontrolled environments. Unlike other products, EVOLV contains a unique moisturizer that heals hot spots and relieves skin conditions, allergies, and constant scratching.  On your next visit to the groomer, local pet store or veterinarian, tell them you read about Wondercide in Houston Pet Talk and you want to make the switch!

What exactly are our children being exposed to where they learn and play?

Why doesn’t the stuff we use in the yard eliminate the bugs?

Why does it seem that nothing deters mosquitoes?

Why do our dogs get sick or behave differently when we apply monthly flea control?

Why do we get bed bugs from reputable hotels?

Why does every one of the products we use contain the phrase “WARNING: HAZARDOUS TO HUMANS AND ANIMALS” before the “INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE”?

Why haven’t we read that before?

Spot Drop Flea & Tick Treatments, DEET, & Pesticide Use imposes serious health and environmental risks. The continued use of such products has caused insects to evolve and build a resistance to them, thus making them less effective. The poison is absorbed through our skin, ingested, or breathed in and have been show to cause birth defects and in some cases cancer. They cause organ failure, brain tumors, and slowed development of children whose mothers were exposed during pregnancy. Children and pets are at the highest risk of exposure merely because they play closer to the ground, put everything in their mouths, and are smaller in size. Even pesticides the EPA approves for use pollute streams, rivers, creeks, lakes, and oceans, destroying our ecosystems.

We were told the chemicals we used were safe. Well we don’t believe that anymore. We know there is a solution that’s as safe as it is effective!

WONDERCIDE is the answer!

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….one little squirt and they didn’t even twitch again…YAY….and no poison.   We’ve been having winds of 20 mph so haven’t had a chance  to spray the yard without it winding up a mile away so have just been spraying the dogs.

When I did my little flea killed experiment and it worked I got on the computer and emailed all my animal friends…..YAY this works…it actually WORKS…..made me want to go out and find a tick and try it ( thank heavens we don’t  have any right now)…last year we had the tick invasion and NOTHING killed them….even put right on them and they were still moving….which of course went around the neighborhood and the next street..the ticks were so bad when walking down the street you could see them coming out from the yards and crawling on the sidewalks.
