Pesticides are reported to cause bladder cancer in pets.
Pet Parents purchase toxic chemicals intended to kill fleas and ticks. These include collars, sprays, dusts and more. Other pet parents take their pets into the vets to be dipped in chemicals. Many consumers probably assume that the products they and their vets use have been tested and deemed safe. After all, how could the government let deadly poisons be sold on store shelves.
Spot-On Pesticides such as Frontline Plus, Sentinal, Comfortis, Trifexis, Revolution, Provecta, Effipro, PetArmor, Hartz, NexGuard, K9 Advantix II, Biospot and Advantage just to name a few, can trigger adverse reactions in dogs and cats, shorten life spans, cause terminal illness, and premature death. This is not limited to topicals but to bathing dips and oral medications as well. The active ingredients in these solutions include chemicals such as imidacloprid, fipronil, permethrin, methoprene, and pyriproxyfen, all of which have caused serious health problems in animals. Even some of the inactive ingredients can be hazardous to your pet. Other forms of flea control powders (including carpet powders), collars, and sprays are no less dangerous to you or your pets. Immediate effects of pesticide overdose include vomiting, diarrhea, trembling, seizures, and respiratory problems. If your dog or cat shows any of these symptoms after the application of a pesticide, immediately wash the product off and seek immediate emergency veterinary care. Pets are sicker than ever. Veterinarians have seen a huge increase in the rate of liver disease, nervous system disorders, cancers, diabetes, renal failure and other diseases. Popular anti-flea and anti-tick medications are extremely toxic to the liver. To read more on these medications...click here.

As Dr Becker states in one of her articles "The EPA issued an advisory about “spot-on” chemical products. These are products applied to the neck or back of dogs and cats as a flea and tick preventive.
The advisory was issued due to a significant increase in reported adverse reactions -- everything from mild skin irritation to seizures and death. In 2008, over 44,000 reactions presumed to be tied to spot-on products were reported by pet owners, veterinarians and other animal caretakers.

If you’re wondering why the EPA is involved in regulation of a pet medication, it’s because these particular products are considered pesticides, and pesticides fall under the EPA’s jurisdiction.
At the time the advisory was issued, manufacturers of spot-on flea and tick products predictably pointed out that no cause-and-effect relationship between the products and reported adverse reactions had been confirmed. Common sense and the first-hand experience of people who have used the products, however, points to the extremely high likelihood that 44,000 reports in a single year do indeed link application of the products with adverse reactions. |
|
And in fact, the 44,000 reported incidents in 2008 is a significant jump from 28,000 the prior year, and includes 600 deaths.
In my opinion, the risks of these products are simply too great to warrant their routine (monthly) use.
I encourage my dog and cat owner clients to avoid these pesticides in favor of safer alternatives.

What the EPA Found
Most adverse reactions were seen in dogs weighing between 10 and 20 pounds. Reactions in mixed breed dogs were most commonly reported, however, the Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, Miniature Poodle, Pomeranian, Dachshund, Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier and Bichon Frise seem particularly at risk.
Products containing cyphenothrin and permethrin were especially problematic for small breed dogs. Most incidents occurred in dogs under three years old, likely at their first exposure to a spot-on product.

Adverse reactions for both dogs and cats were primarily skin, GI tract and nervous system related. Skin reactions included redness, itching, hair loss, sores and ulcers. Gastrointestinal symptoms included vomiting, diarrhea and salivation. Reported nervous system symptoms included lethargy, nervousness, ataxia (movement problems), tremors and seizure.
A number of adverse reactions in cats were the result of the cat either being treated with a product intended for dogs, or through exposure to a treated dog. Cats treated with products intended for dogs had an especially rate of serious reactions and fatalities. Inert ingredients in spot-on products were generally assumed to contribute to toxicity. Dosage ranges were considered to be too wide in some cases.
Product labeling was identified as needing a revamp in many cases. The EPA’s Companion Animal Studies guidelines are insufficient to predict the toxicity of spot-on products. The full EPA report can be found here, and includes a list of the specific products reviewed and the adverse reactions reported for each. For more information, you can also review the EPA Analysis and Mitigation Plan.

Recommendations for Safe, Natural Flea and Tick Control
In addition to the risks associated with spot-on treatments, there is simply no chemical based pest control pill, dip, solution, shampoo, or collar that is without the potential for side effects.
Just because a compound is applied to or worn on your pet’s fur doesn’t mean it’s safe. Remember: what goes on your pet goes in your pet, by absorption through the skin or ingestion during grooming.
Fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and other parasites feed first on unhealthy animals. So the goal of preventive pest control is to bring your dog or cat to optimal health, which will make him naturally more resilient and less attractive to parasites. Toward that end, I encourage you to work with your holistic vet -- visit the American Holistic Veterinary Medicine Association to find one who should also be able to provide a number of natural products for pest control.
Here are just a few suggestions:
Essential oil sprays containing lavender, peppermint, geranium, lemongrass or citronella can be very effective as parasite deterrents. You need to purchase a pre-blended product or work with an animal aromatherapist to make sure you’re using safe oils at the correct concentration as dog and cat doses are different.
Cedar oil is a long-recognized flea eradicator, and products exist that are specially formulated for cats and dogs.
Natural, food-grade diatomaceous earth helps to remove fleas and ticks from your pet’s body.
Fresh garlic can be given to dogs and cats to prevent internal as well as external parasites. Work with your vet to determine a safe amount for your pet’s body weight.~Dr Becker

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE)
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (DE) is an excellent natural and totally organic source of silica and safe. Diatomaceous Earth is Mother Nature's product with no harm to the environment, pets or to people. Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica, and there is no life without silica. DE is not actually an "earth" but it is the fossilized remains of microscopic shells created by one celled plants called Diatoms. DE kills pests and parasites naturally-no chemical, no odor and no additives of any kind. The microscopic particles are deadly to the bedbug, roaches, silverfish, ants, fire ants, fleas, ticks, crabs and hair lice, flies, scorpions, crickets, earwigs, spiders and many other insects. They attach themselves to the bugs body and physically lacerates their exposed tissue. The insect dies from dehydration, usually within a few hours. It can be used safely around the home, yard and animal housing to prevent insects from entering. It will not harm earthworms or beneficial soil microorganisms.
Ingredients:
Diatomaceous Earth is a fossilized deposit of microscopic shells created by one-celled plants called Diatoms.

Ticked Off! Unscented!
Ingredient: Hydrolyzed Silica
The natural, gentle hydrolyzed silica in our Ticked Off was first intended for a women's cosmetic company because it increased collagen and created healthier skin. It's ironic that it also effectively kills fleas and most ticks. Our feline friends are more finicky than our canine ones and they've reported to us that they don't like smelling like hamsters. (It's the smell of the safe Southern Red Cedar oil which helps to repel fleas and ticks that's in our regular Ticked Off)
We listened to our feline customers and created an unscented Ticked Off that does not have Cedar Oil and is gentle and effective too. All cats and sensitive dogs will be able to be treated with our Unscented Ticked Off For Cats.

Ticked Off!
Ingredients: Hydrolyzed Silica with the active ingredient: 5% Cedar Oil (Texas Red Cedar)
Ticked Off offers you and your dog all natural, chemical-free relief from fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, gnats and other disease-carrying biting insects. Lightly misting your pet once or twice a week will both help to both prevent and kill fleas and ticks. If your dog is likely to get fleas or ticks we recommend weekly misting of your pet's bedding and this will effectively kill fleas, flea larvae and flea eggs. The hydrolyzed silica in Ticked Off is totally safe for your dog (it was originally intended for a facial product for women) but it effectively kills fleas and many other pesky insects. Be assured that it will not stain your pet's bedding.

Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus Powder
Fleabusters Unique Borate Powder Has Many Important 'Flea-Killing' Features
The Rx for Fleas Plus powder is milled to be extremely fine and is also statically charged.
The 'fine' powder allows for easy installation while brushing into the carpet and for light application (very small amounts need to be applied for effectiveness).
The 'statically charged' powder provides a clinging effect to carpet fibers. This allows very little to be removed by vacuuming, thereby providing long-lasting protection. It attaches to the flea larvae as they wiggle by. The effectiveness of killing (dehydrating) flea larvae is greatly increased.
The Rx for Fleas Plus also has a neutral pH of 7.0. While being very safe for carpets, the neutral pH is actually more important in a pest control sense by not causing the targeted pest (flea) to be repelled from the powder. Roaches, ants, fleas, etc., can sense and avoid an alkaline or acidic substance, but crawl right through the neutral pH material.
Fleabusters Effectiveness Comes With Great Consideration for Safety
Borate powders are much safer than most liquid pesticide alternatives.
When installed properly, the exposure to people and pets is very minimal.
Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus is 33% less toxic than pure boric acid powder products!
Fleabusters Powder Provides More Carpet Area Coverage
The Fleabusters label identifies the maximum allowable coverage for the container size (3 lbs.). This means in 900 square feet you can't use more than 3 lbs., but you can use less!
Fleabusters service company averages less than 3 pounds of powder to treat the average home of living room, halls, stairs, family room and 3 bedrooms - five average size rooms!
Because the powder is so fine it only requires a small amount applied everywhere to be effective. More is not better!
Only a few microscopic crystals are all that's necessary to kill the flea larvae.
About Borates
Borate is a popular ingredient found in many natural pest control products. It is a material made from Boron; a compound found in nature and used in many everyday products like soap and laundry detergents. Borate is often misunderstood since technically it is a pesticide as it does kill pests; however it is not harmful or toxic to its users like synthetic pesticides are.
In pest control products, borate is found in powder form. This powder serves as an agent that is extremely abrasive to an insect’s exoskeleton and dehydrates it from within. It is effective because the insect cannot build a resistance to it, and it affects insects at all life stages. Results may take a few days to become apparent, but the product will continue to work for up to a year. Borate is odorless, colorless and has no harsh chemicals. Borate products can be applied directly to surfaces, and pose a very low risk to those in direct contact with it when used correctly.
Today using a proven pesticide is of utmost concern to consumers. Fleabusters Rx for Fleas Plus has both federal and state EPA registration (59111-1).

It will be shown that scalar waves, normally remaining unnoticed, are very
interesting in practical use for information and energy technology for reason of
their special attributes. The mathematical and physical derivations are supported by practical experiments.
The demonstration will show:
1. the wireless transmission of electrical energy
2. the reaction of the receiver to the transmitter
3. free energy with an over-unity-effect of about 3
4. transmission of scalar waves with 1.5 times the speed of light
5. the inefficiency of a Faraday cage to shield scalar waves
Officially tested and proven
Repels fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and all other external parasites including Australian paralysis tick!
Non toxic
No Chemical elements
Lasts up to 4 years!
Costs 20 times less than other anti-parasite products!
Water resistant
Completely safe with no side effects!
It’s effective on dogs and cats of any age (even newborns), any weight, including ill, convalescent and pregnant pets.
No need to wash your hands after touching it or to stop your children from playing with their pets
Very practical – place it on your pet and forget about parasites

Apple Cider Vinegar
All you need to do is pour a bit on a wash cloth or spay on from a bottle and wipe down your dog / cat every 2-3 days! Ticks are REALLY be bad this summer!
Topical applications
Apple cider vinegar can be diluted half-and-half with water for external application, and, when stronger measures are needed, it can be used full-strength.
When the male dogs attending a New England dog show experienced an incapacitating allergic reaction that made their testicles swell, Volhard declined the steroid shot offered by the attending veterinarian and instead applied ACV to the legs, testicles, and exposed skin of her male Newfoundland, Cato. The next morning he was completely well and took a High in Trial, while the other affected dogs needed weeks to recover. Volhard recommends ACV as a hot spot preventive, itch stopper, general disinfectant, virus deterrent, food poisoning preventive, and flea and tick repellent.
Apple cider vinegar can be sponged onto a dog’s coat after bathing to remove soap residues and improve hair condition. Vinegar’s acidity and live enzymes are said to kill bacteria that cause flaking skin conditions. Soak the coat to the skin and let it air-dry. This same treatment is said to repel fleas and ticks.

Flea & Mite Control Kits
Natural Flea & Tick Control Kits are designed to make flea, mite and other blood sucking insect treatment more successful. To control fleas, mites and other insects, it is imperative that everything be treated at the same time, the dog, cat, other pets, the yard, bedding, and home, if the animal is an indoor pet. With this in mind, we offer natural Flea & Mite Control kits.
Ambertick
1. Aromatic repellent. Amber is a fossilized tree resin which contains aromatic chemicals called terpenes which effervesce when amber is heated or rubbed and produce a resinous aroma. When the pet wears the stones on its neck, the friction from their fur will absorb the resinous smell coming from the amber. Resinous aromatic terpenes that are released and absorbed in the animal’s fur repel ticks and fleas. Although these parasites do not have a nose but they do have a Haller organ which helps the tick to perceive the smell a potential victim. In nature tree sap works the exactly the same - when a tree bleeds, it bleeds a sticky sap to protect itself from insects and fungus.
2. Electrostatic repellent. Static electrical charge is generated when Amber is rubbed against the fur. Naturally a cat or a dog doesn’t feel it but every tick that comes in contact with the electrical charged fur gets an electric shock and just falls off. This static electricity effect was discovered by the ancient Greeks, which originally gave the name of amber to the mysterious stone found on the coast of Baltic Sea – Amber in Greek means electron.
We have carried out numerous tests and experiments that helped us to design the necklace which has perfect amount of amber pieces in the right ratio to work most efficiently despite the pet’s size. Ambertick can take up to 1-2 weeks until it has full effect on your pet. It also has to stay on your pet all the time, day and night - the longer your pet wears the necklace, the more effective it will be. It usually takes 3 weeks or more for Ambertick to gain its maximum repelling properties.

Why you have fleas in the winter
Also here is a recipe to make yourself using only three ingredients:
Simply mix the three together and rub the dust mixture into your dog’s coat. Use some caution with DE as it can irritate the mucosa. Once the dust settles however, there is no harm.
If you have an all natural recipe that kills/repels fleas and ticks, please email me.
- Diatomaceous Earth (DE)
- NEEM (dry form)

Nematodes
Nematodes are tiny, un-segmented wormlike animals found in soil all over the world. Scientists think there are about half a million different species of nematodes. Some are crop pests, while others are crop protectors. Beneficial nematodes are valuable because they cause disease in destructive bug pests, but don't harm humans, other animals or the environment.
Nematodes enter pest bugs while they are still alive, then they multiply inside the bugs (which eventually die) and finally burst out of the dead bodies. The number of nematodes inside a single bug (depending on the species) ranges from 10,000 to 500,000. Although you can barely see one young nematode with your naked eye, large groups of these tiny wigglers pouring out of the dead insects are easy to see. Then the nematodes wriggle off to find other insects to "invade," starting the whole cycle all over again.
Nematodes are an important natural replacement for toxic chemical insecticides. They protect crops such as citrus, vegetables, pecans, cranberries, mushrooms and ornamental crops by killing most pests that live in the soil.
Nematodes kill by making a “home” for bacteria that lives inside them. In return, the bacteria provide nutrients to the nematodes. Once a nematode gets inside a pest bug, the bacteria leave it. Working together, nematodes and bacteria are able to kill insect hosts after about 48 hours. Then they feed off the insect and multiply inside it.
