In a Tick…

I attended GreenFest this weekend, and though I was slightly disappointed in the number of products that were available ( I wanted there to be so many more…), I was thrilled to find, on the day that my puppy was on her way up to the “country”, non-toxic flea/tick killer !

Plus Natural Enzymes is a local (Chicago based) company that specializes in non-toxic pest elimination systems. Okay. Despite my rather extensive collection of BBC Costume Dramas, and the glassy eyed romanticism that belies, I am aware that nothing will “work” as well as the poison that we have all used on our pet’s in the past. But. If something natural can work even half as well, whilst keeping neurotoxins out of my puppy and sons bodies – it will be good enough for me.

So. Molly, who I just left up in Wisconsin this weekend, is now slathered up in Sampsons’ Flea and Tick control repellant, which is at least safe enough that the fast talking c0-owner of the company that introduced me to the product at the Green Fest, sprayed his own face with it. I was less bold, and sprayed the magical enzymes on my arms – which when I didn’t break out in boils, or become rashy, felt it was safe enough to give it a go.

I’ll report back in a week, and see how my darling girl has fared in them there woods….

Happy Monday!
