EPA Cracks Down On Spot-On Pesticide Products for Cats and Dogs

BRODHEADSVILLE, PA – Just as the weather warms and pet owners begin to think about controlling ticks and fleas, the EPA has announced it is taking immediate actions to place new restrictions on spot-on pesticide products for flea and tick control for dogs and cats.

However, there is a no-fear solution on the market right now – that naturally protects pets from ticks, fleas and mosquitoes.

Liquid Net® for Pets, from The Liquid Fence® Company, is an all-natural, gentle and effective way to protect the family pet from ticks, fleas and mosquitoes. 

While restrictions on use and ingredients are being implemented by the EPA on many current products that contain irritating chemicals, Liquid Net for Pets contains NO Pyrethrins, NO DEET, NO Pyrethroids and NO d-Limonene.  It’s guaranteed to protect dogs, cats, puppies and kittens from biting insects without exposing them to dangerous chemicals.

Unlike harsh chemical-based products, Liquid Net is made with oils of botanicals and is pleasantly scented. It has been lab tested and proven to be more than or equally effective as typical off-the-shelf DEET solutions against fleas, ticks and biting insects.

Plus it’s non-greasy and won’t dry out your pets’ coats! And it comes in a new orbital sprayer that lets you spray upside-down for those hard-to-reach spots where ticks and fleas hide.

EPA plans are to immediately begin reviewing spot-on products and developing more stringent testing and evaluation requirements for both existing and new products. The EPA expects these steps will help prevent adverse reactions, including skin irritation, redness, or gastrointestinal problems that include vomiting or diarrhea, or effects to the nervous system, such as trembling, appearing depressed or seizures.

Liquid Net for Pets has received several industry awards, including Pet Product News Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Award (2008) and the Mail Order Gardening Association’s Green Thumb Award (2009). It’s available in a 16 ounce orbital sprayer bottle and individual towelettes for on-the-go convenience. Get it at stores throughout the country and on the web at www.liquidfence.com.
