NATURAL FLEA AND TICK CONTROL FOR YOUR PETS

PROTECT YOUR PETS AGAINST FLEAS, TICKS, MOSQUITOES AND OTHER HARMFUL INSECTS

Warm, wet weather is prime weather for fleas. During late spring and all through summer, most regions experience outbreaks of fleas. However, fleas do not care about the calendar. As long as the area is warm enough (about 60 degrees or warmer) for them to breed, and the adult fleas have a blood meal, they will breed. As long as larvae have sufficient humidity to hatch (50 percent at least), they will hatch. Because of climate-controlled homes, fleas easily breed inside all yearlong if homeowners don't eliminate fleas, flea eggs and flea larvae.

Toxic chemical pesticides have been known to cause immediate health crises in some dogs and cats, and perhaps worse, these chemicals can circulate and accumulate in our pets' bodies, doing unseen damage to vital organs that may go undetected for years. And then there is the damage these chemical residues can do to our children, ourselves, and the environment. There are natural alternatives to the harsh and harmful chemical based flea and tick repellents.  

One really good remedy in repelling fleas and getting rid of parasites is DIATOMACEOUS EARTH FOR FLEA AND TICK CONTROL. You can sprinkle it on the coat of your pets for flea control or sprinkle on food for parasite control. Diatomaceous earth is a geological deposit made up of the fossilized skeletons and tests of siliceous marine and fresh water organisms, particularly diatoms and other algae. These skeletons are made of hydrated amorphous silica or opal. When crushed, they break up into tiny pieces of glass'' (so tiny that the material feels like talcum powder). This is easily picked up by the hairy bodies of most Insects. Whereupon it scratches through their protective wax layers; and they also absorb some of this material. the result being that the insects lose water rapidly, dry up and die. Further protection is provided by the powder's property of repelling many insects. A similar principle probably accounts for the fact that birds frequently take dust baths, presumably to rid themselves of parasites. 

Also Herbal Flea And Tick Powder For Pets is a natural and botanical flea and tick treatment. It is the perfect way to keep your hairy friends tick and flea free and their skin and fur healthy - a true natural alternative which provides many external and healthy benefits for all dogs and cats. No Essential Oils or Artificial ingredients in this formula just a natural, herbal dry powder formula using many organic ingredients.    

Some other natural flea repellents use essential oils for repelling and killing fleas.To protect themselves, certain plants have developed highly effective defense mechanisms against potentially harmful insects. The essential oils of these plants were combined in a solution to form a natural pest control barrier for pets. NATURAL FLEA, TICK AND MOSQUITO REMEDY FOR DOGS kills fleas, ticks and mosquitoes for up to four weeks, yet it’s safe to use on your dog and around your family. It uses the natural power of essential oils which are well known for their highly effective defense mechanisms against potentially harmful insects. One bottle lasts you up to 9 months. 

The ultimate weapon in the battle with fleas is the Flea Comb. Removing and killing the adult fleas (by drowning them in soapy water) can prevent a lot of future fleas being hatched. Combining a few drops of the flea remedy with your flea combing is a great way to both spread the oils throughout the coat and give you extra help with catching the fleas. Pay particular attention to the base of the tail, and under the legs and belly on dogs.  

Unfortunately, fleas can infest even the most spotless home. Fleas usually enter the house on your pets, but they can also hitch a ride on clothing, and have even been seen to jump right into the house on their own. Fleas can live in the cracks and around the edges of wood, laminate, or tile floors. They can also take refuge in furniture, bedding, and area rugs. If you live in an area with fleas, it is important to protect your pets at all times.

Diatomaceous earth can also be used on carpeting, on pet bedding, on furniture, on hard floors and in the yard etc. It is a very fine powder, so it gets into cracks and crevices on hardwood, tile, and linoleum floors easily. You can work it in with a broom or carpet rake so it creates less dust when walked on. It acts pretty quickly , and a difference in the flea population can be noticeable in 24–48 hours. Diatomaceous earth, however, does not last as long, and is ineffective when wet. Monthly applications are recommended in areas with heavy flea populations, especially during the height of flea season. 

Finally, to prevent further problems, don’t forget environmental control. Cut the grass in the yard short to expose ticks to sunlight to kill them. Remove wood piles, a favorite hiding place for ticks, from the yard. Spraying the yard with beneficial nematodes, natural pyrethrum, or applying food grade diatomaceous earth are great natural approaches to killing ticks and other insects.
