Hey guys! Yes, today is Wednesday but I got behind so here's today's Tuesday tip!
This is for those who want a chemical free flea, tick & mosquito π¦ prevention in place of (or in conjunction with) the conventional chemical products that are most commonly used. Most conventional products only work once the dog is bit. Yes, the fleas need to bite to die or to stop reproducing and the tick needs to latch to get the toxin in the dog's bloodstream to die. The chemical free approach may not be best for you & your π lifestyle but this is what has worked for my dogs for many years. This is the top 3 that I use but there are a few more great ones out there.
πΈοΈ Bug Off by is definitely my favorite. It is a food additive containing 10 herbs & medicinal plants that alters the dog's natural scent which bugs are attracted to make them less desirable for bugs. This scent is not smelled by humans & the scent change helps deter the bugs from landing on your pet. This company also makes a topical spray which I have yet to try but super excited to add it into my rotation! The directions on their website will tell you how often & when to take breaks depending on how much protection you want throughout the entire year.
πΈοΈFlea, tick & mosquito spray by is one I've been using for 20 years. It is plant based, made in πΊπ² and has no added fragrances. It kills fleas, larvae, eggs & ticks & also kills adult mosquitoes. I spray this on my clothes and shoes when I go out hiking as well.
πΈοΈ Flea, tick & mosquito spray by is another great all around spray. This kills fleas, eggs, larvae & ticks as well as repels and prevents fleas, ticks & mosquitoes. This spray is also made in πΊπ² and is plant based, no added scents & is PH formulated. I also spray this on my clothes and shoes. I've used this in my tent while camping & on my sleeping bag to keep spiders π· away because I just can not with those things!! I also once found a spider in my bedroom and lost it under my bed so I sprayed the entire room boarder and under the bed every single day for like a month until I got the courage to sleep in there again! π€£
