There’s No Need To Buy: (part 7)

pesticides!

during a hot California summer, fleas are an epidemic! if you’ve got a pet- you’ve got fleas!

products like FrontLine are not only uber expensive, but also uber toxic to you and your pets! notice the warnings and precautionary instructions that such products bear! up until now the punishment for forgetting FrontLine has been an agonizing one: nights spent tossing and turning due to the excruciating burning of flea bitten ankles.

similarly- cockroaches in the kitchen are enough to send even the biggest “health freak” to Vons at midnight for a desperate can of RAID!

well, say “good-bye” to those nasty pesticides forever. there is a natural alternative- and it actually works!

meet Diatomaceous Earth. DE is nothing more than the remains of microscopic one-celled plants called diatoms. this fine powder has razor sharp edges on a microscopic level and kills insects on contact. it is not only safe for you, your pets and your garden but actually beneficial since it is chock-full of essential minerals! it can be sprinkled around your garden, swept into the crevices of your hardwood floors, brushed into your pets between baths and even fed to your pets as a dietary supplement against parasites!

it is a light powder, so avoid breathing in too much. i suggest wearing a cloth over your mouth while administering or it can be mixed with water. make sure you get a food grade quality DE and not pool filter DE. a great brand is available here in my store.
