All year round: With milder winters and modern centrally heated homes, fleas and other parasites have become an all year round problem. Natural Flea & Tick Spray is ideal to use all year round. Application: Depending upon infestation, lightly spray around the neck and spine. Brush through gently. Spray directly onto ticks and wait for the tick to fall off naturally. Avoid eyes. Effectiveness: Natural Flea & Tick Spray has a highly effective repellent action. It works almost instantly at ridding the animal of fleas, ticks and other parasites. Fleas: Fleas are the most common parasite found on small pets. The first sign an animal has fleas is constant scratching around the head, neck and the base of the spine. Fleas are bloodsuckers and can be detected by their black coloured flea dirt. Pack size: 150mls spray bottle. Safety: Natural Flea & Tick Spray is entirely non-toxic. It is made using only concentrated plant derivitives designed to quickly rid your pet of disease carrying parasites. Safe to the animal, the user and the environment. Ticks: Ticks tend to be a country problem, where infestations seem to be more of a problem in rough grazing, woodland areas. Ticks have a very complicated life-cycle and so are quite difficult to get rid of. Adult female ticks lay groups of eggs, which hatch to form a colony of young ticks. These attach themselves to grass stems where they wait for a host to walk by. Ticks gorge themselves on the blood and bury their heads into the animal's skin taking on the appearance of a wart on the skin. Never be tempted to pick them off, as this can be very painful and often the head will come away and stay embedded in the skin. Spray the ticks directly with 'Flea & Tick Spray' from our Pet Care Range or 'Parasite Repel' from our Equine range and watch the ticks drop off naturally. Uses: Natural Flea & Tick Spray is ideal for Dogs, Cats, Chickens, Rabbits and Guinea Pigs. It can also be applied to Puppies and Kittens over two weeks old.
