Kill Fleas and Bed Bugs Instantly and Naturally

Are you tired of trying to fight fleas, and bed bugs this season?

"Living in the south", I am not sure if it's the weather this year, or the insects are just getting used to the normal chemicals we usually use to treat our home and yards. We prefer using natural products whenever possible, but trying to find a natural pesticide that actually works is very difficult.

There is however, some great alternatives that are all natural and 100% safe, not only to pets, but to humans. Even new born puppies and kittens, and nursing mothers. These products which are made from USDA grade oils, are clear and non-staining oils that can be applied to furniture, bedding, skin, and carpets. They also do not contain any harmful aerosol propellants.

Kill Fleas and Bed Bugs Instantly and Naturally

When applying sprays for fleas and bed bugs pay close attention to dark areas, under beds, closets, in between cushions, under mattresses, beds and furniture. The female flea will seek out dark locations to lay their eggs.

For Pets:
Most of these natural products can be applied by simply spraying on pets coat liberally and rubbing in, being careful not to spray into pets eyes. The oils that are in these products actually suffocate the insects.

"Killing them instantly." These natural products come in a variety of different ingredients, make sure to check that there are no propellants added in the ingredients.

Spray all areas your pets frequently lay, or are around most of the time. Paying special attention to their bedding and carpet or rug areas.

"Important" If you are using toxic prescription spot treatments like the kind you apply to the back of the neck, then you need to read this. Our dog has cancer and seizures that were caused from using these types of flea preventatives. We were not informed upon purchase that this could happen in Collies, Collie mixed breeds, German Shepard's or Shepard mixed breeds.

Unfortunately, most pet owners are not aware that the products they are using to treat their pets for fleas and ticks come with health hazards. These hazards are not limited to their pets but also to humans who come in contact with them. If you are using a collar treated with a pesticide, then you or your children touch that collar now your skin is absorbing that very same pesticide. This being the case especially with children who do not wash their hands after playing with their pet.

For Bed Bugs:
For the most part people tend to treat for bed bugs the wrong way. You should first spray all bedding with the product of your choice killing the insects. Then carefully, fold the all the bedding material into a bundle and immediately wash in hot soapy water. Be sure to spray the mattresses and box springs top and bottom, also under bed and carpets thoroughly. If your mattress has a removable cover be sure to follow the same steps above.

There are many alternative "All Natural" products out there claiming to work.
