You would not believe the number of people who confuse the terms “non-toxic” and “natural.” I’m here to tell you, they are not the same thing. There are lots of natural substances that are deadly poison. Take a look at arsenic, hemlock or nightshade. All are natural, but none are non-toxic. It is the same thing in the natural flea control.
Archer is an Insect Growth Regulator that stops the eggs and larvae from developing. It doesn’t even kill fleas! But it does break the life cycle and is totally non-toxic. Now, that is a good thing. The world is so inundated with more and more chemicals that removing toxins wherever we find them is the best way to live.
But what happens if you find that you still have adult fleas to deal with and don’t want to wait the 30 to 45 days that it would take to let them die off of old age? Well, there are still ways to stay relatively low toxic and still get the job done. Conquer is like a fourth generation pyrethrum which is an insecticide made from the chrysanthemum flower in Africa. It is tightly targeted to kill fleas and to be relatively non-reactive with mammals. In addition, it breaks down rapidly in our environment. That was the problem with the old insecticides – they never broke down. They had a half-life longer than you and me!
The final step is to put Frontline on the dogs and cats. Frontline kills fleas that get on the pets, but it does not go into the pet’s bloodstream. It stays on the outside by bonding with the oil layer of the skin.
So, use an IGR always, use an insecticide only if you have to, and keep Frontline on your pets throughout the year. You won’t have fleas, guaranteed.
