Wondercide - Flea, Tick and Mosquito Spray for Dogs, Cats, and Home - Flea and Tick Killer, Control, Prevention, Treatment - with Natural Essential Oils – 4 oz Lemongrass 2-Pack

YES, THIS ONE DOESN'T! We rescued a kitten who had a metric ton of fleas on him. He was only six weeks old at the time, and flea medication was not an option for him. We used this to protect him even more after getting permission from the vet to give him a dawn bath to manually remove the fleas. When I was looking for a natural spray, I did a lot of research on the ingredients. Many of the sprays on Amazon claim to be safe for cats and kittens, but they contain essential oils that have been proven to be extremely toxic to cats! Many of them contain peppermint and clove oils, which are extremely toxic to a cat's respiratory and liver systems. When my cat started having recurring breath problems, I learned that the oils I loved were so harmful to a cat's sensitive systems, and I stopped using an oil diffuser in my house. br>This product does not contain either of those oils, and it is one of the few I've come across that only contains cedar oil and lemongrass. Both are completely harmless to cats. Thank you for not including cat-toxic oils in this product. br>In terms of effectiveness, it completely eliminated the kitten's flea problem until he was old enough to take the comfortis pill. I sprayed the bedding and other areas, and there has been a significant reduction in the number of bugs. We've had a hard time controlling the fleas as a result of him, but we're working on it, with all of the cats on flea meds and treating the carpet, etc. One of my older cats, however, is extremely allergic to both fleas and flea medications. He lost all of his fur in the area where we use topical flea medications, and his face was puffy for days. So, following a steroid injection and a hefty vet bill, we now use this on him. He has had no adverse reactions to it, and his flea scabs have cleared up and vanished. There will be no fleas if there are no scabs on your skin. His flea combs are clean, and I haven't seen one on him in a long time, so we're all happy now. This product is a lifesaver for sensitive cats and kittens who are too young to take medication. br>I like the smell; my cats have a scent that reminds me of fine cedar furniture with a hint of lemongrass. It's probably not for you if you don't like the smell of cedar.

Nexgard caused Petit Mal Seizures in our 6-year-old Maltese, which persisted even after the Nexgard was stopped. She's going through a de-stressing process at the moment. The seizures are lessening as a result of the tox on Milk Thistle. It put us in a difficult situation because we needed something to work. Wondercide was discovered through an online blog dedicated to natural and holistic flea and tick control. To say the least, I was skeptical, but its effectiveness has pleasantly surprised me. I put it on them every morning before they go out, and I'll reapply it after they've dried off if we've been in the lake. On the dogs, I haven't seen a single flea or tick. I use it on myself as well, and I no longer get bitten by bugs in the garden (especially biting flies). My only suggestion is to spray it on your hands first and then "pet" it into your dog. After "spraying," mine appeared to sneeze for about a minute. I've already recommended this product to others, and I'll continue to urge friends who use Nexgard or other chemical-laden topical flea treatments to try it. Thank you for providing not only an alternative, but one that is also safe for my pets.

So, for the past three days or so, I've been using this stuff on my cats according to the directions on the bottle, and I haven't noticed any difference. In less than 10 minutes, I used a flea comb on my female and removed approximately 20 live adult fleas. When they see the bottle come out, both of my cats sprint away at breakneck speed, so I believe I've lost that battle. However, I've used this product on my furniture, hard wood floors, curtains, and bedding, and it appears to be effective. I was skeptical, so I caught a few live fleas and sprayed them directly; after about 45 seconds, they were dead. It takes daily (and sometimes multiple) applications to keep them under control, but I'm pleased with the results so far. Because the bottles are so small, it's very expensive to keep using them this way. I will likely continue to use it as a preventive measure once they are 100% under control from spraying, vacuuming, and so on, but I will be looking for a different natural product.

I experimented with three scents: lemongrass, rosemary, and cedar. They have a lot of power, but they aren't poisonous. It's also great for getting rid of mites on your fur. It's critical to know that there's only one potentially harmful ingredient, sodium lauryl sulfate, for our dog or our family. It's an additional tool to use, not a replacement for daily vacuuming, carpet steaming, flea combing, and baths during infestations, or the near-daily home hygiene required for people who don't want to give their dogs systemic poisons labeled as medications by the vet care industry. br>br>My only criticism is the cost of using it on our German Shepherd Dog, who has a long curly coat and requires a lot of product to work through to the skin. br>    & I'm not sure what to say. Infestations are costly, and natural flea control measures are time consuming! If one does not commit to the daily home maintenance required of non-residents, infestations will occur. Natural flea control prevention measures are not for the undisciplined or physically impaired who are unable to vacuum daily, and it will require 4x more work time if forced to do so during a home infestation. Remember that 50% of the fleas in one s home are in the egg stage and 35% are in the larvae stage, both of which can be easily vacuumed to remove them. br>br>Wondercide, on the other hand, is a fantastic and relatively safe product. The pack is a convenient, if pricey, way to sample two scents, and the small bottles are handy to keep in the car for travel.

The fleas seemed to get angrier as a result. I spoke with their customer service about the problem, and all they said was that it "must be used according to directions," which I repeatedly told them I did. They weren't in the least bit interested. It was receptive to the notion that it had failed. This product is not something I would use or recommend.
