Description

How does Intense Flea & Tick Guard work?

Synthetic insecticides work by poisoning the nervous system of insects. Botanicals such as neem oil, quassia extract and certain essential oils work differently: they disrupt orientation behaviour, the sense of smell and the attraction signals that insects use to find a host. Fleas and ticks are less likely to approach an animal that emits these scent profiles.

Neem oil contains azadirachtin, a triterpenoid that disrupts the hormone balance of insects and prevents larvae and nymphs from developing. Quassia extract provides bitter substances (quassinoids) that have insect repellent properties and are well documented in the literature. PMD (para-menthane-3,8-diol) from lemon eucalyptus has been recognized by the WHO as one of the most effective plant-based mosquito repellents.

Composition

Clove

Eugenol-rich oil with strong insect repellent effect, also effective against ticks.

Palmarosa

Disrupts the orientation of fleas and contributes to skin comfort.

Lemon Eucalyptus (PMD)

WHO-recognized plant-based mугgen repellent. Effective against Aedes mosquitoes and sand flies.

Cedarwood

Cedrol disrupts the sensory orientation of insects and has been shown to repel ticks.

Neem oil

Azadirachtin disrupts the hormonal cycle of insects. Biologically breaks down quickly.

Quassia Extract

Bitter substances with documented insect repellent and larvicidal effect.
