Flea and Tick Control Powder - Pawtanicals

  • Sale
  • Regular price $ 12.00


Small Batch Organic* Handmade
       
Our non-toxic (except to fleas and ticks of course) formula is completely free of any harsh chemicals. Unlike systematic killers that absorb into the skin and require pests to bite and feed in order to be poisoned and killed - our guaranteed Flea and Tick Control Powder sits safely on the surface of the skin, repelling and killing pests - often before they bite! 
    
Recommended for Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Horses, Goats, Sheep, and small mammals.
     
How it works: Diatomaceous earth, baking soda and salt all work to kill the fleas and ticks on a physical level; Breaching the exoskeleton and dehydrating them. This works on all stages of life, eggs, nymphs and adults. Bentonite clay and vitamin E work together to reduce inflammation, sooth skin irritated from insect bites, while also eliminating toxins and protecting against microbes and UV damage. 
     
Safe for consumption! 
    
How to use it:
Monthly** Prevention Instructions: Apply 1-2 Tsp (for a 10lb cat) or 1/2 - 1 Tbsp (for a 50+ pound dog) to back behind neck and between the shoulder blades and gently brush into fur with fingers until it creates a thin, even dusting of powder against the skin. Do not apply excessive powder. Powder should not shed off animal during normal activity.
   
**In general if you can see the powder it is working, and need only be reapplied after bathing, excessive sweating our outdoor water activities, or after rolling in dirt/debris. Monthly application is recommended.
   
                   Infestation Instructions: Apply 1-2 Tbls to back, tail, under collar, legs, and belly, avoiding eyes and nose, daily** until fleas are gone. 
    
To eliminate fleas in bedding that cannot be washed in a machine, dust bedding with powder and leave for 3-4 days (to kill nymphs and adults - and eggs by contact). Vacuum up powder and repeat application (to kill newly hatched nymphs of eggs not reached by powder), up to 3x if necessary.
If symptoms persist after 2 weeks, consult a vet.
