Our Story
I founded Wondercide after my dog Luna suffered devastating side effects from vet-prescribed flea & tick treatment. At age 10, Luna developed pesticide poisoning, with symptoms ranging from seizures and chronic skin issues to liver and kidney failure.
Several vets recommended that I put Luna down. They reasoned that she was an older dog, had lived a good life, and nothing could be done to improve her health, so “it was time.” This “solution” was simply not an option for me.
I nursed Luna back to health and began researching pesticide formulations, the harmful impact of traditional pesticides on human and animal health, regulatory laws, and federal environmental policies. The shocking truths I discovered lit a fire in me so intense that I left my career and founded Wondercide.
Today, our full line of natural products protects families around the world without the use of harsh chemicals. We’re proud to offer solutions that are truly safe & effective. While our beloved Luna passed on at the age of 16 in the spring of 2015 after a long and beautiful life, her legacy lives on in the work that we do every day in her honor. – From our Founder & CEO, Stephanie Boone
LUNA'S LEGACY: SAFE & EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 80% of our pesticide exposure happens at home (and we're not talking about your food!). Wondercide replaces the products used on families, pets and the home that typically contain these dangerous chemicals. Pesticide exposure is linked to childhood cancers, chronic allergies, developmental diseases, and poisonings. We simply can’t ignore the data any longer:
-
Measurable levels of up to a dozen pesticides have been found in the air inside people’s homes.
– The EPA -
75% of US households use chemical pesticides at home.
– The EPA -
Homeowners use up to 10x more pesticides per acre on their lawns than farmers use on their crops.
– US Fish & Wildlife Service
