Alert ! Frontline, Sergeant's Pet Care, Zodiac flea control and Hartz products
I am writing in alarm and concern about the Sergeant's Pet Care products for cats that are being sold on the market. I recently used a brand new bottle of Sergeant's® Skip-Flea® & Tick Shampoo for Cats. Within about 11 hours of using it, my cat was having seizures, and then went into some sort of coma. Her pupils were so big that her eyes were completely black. I took her to the vet hospital where I learned that the shampoo contained this chemical called Permethrin. This is a known PESTICIDE that is lethal and toxic to cats. This isn't the first case the hospital has had of cats coming in affected by this. Nine hours after getting her to the hospital she died. My cat was perfectly healthy until this moment. I have contacted the company and they are not quite willing to cooperate. I am looking for help in bringing awareness to other pet owners about these harmful products. I've done a lot of research and I found out that these following products are also hurting and killing pets (cats and dogs). To read each story of what each animal went through is heartbreaking: Bio Spot, Advantage, Frontline, Sergeant’s Nature’s Guardian flea and tick products. I have emailed several people whose pets have died and become injured. There an amazing amount of people that need help. I've contacted the Department of Consumer Affairs and Department of Pesticide Regulation so far and have not gotten very far.

Frontline:
"The day that our 8 year old Tibetan Spaniel received the frontline plus on his back, he seem very unhappy, like he knew he had received something bad for him. The following days he refused to walk - he had to be carried to his favorite tree. He was extremely lethargic. He only moved to eat and drink. He seemed depressed - he did not wag his tail, or show any affection as he usually does. IT was as if his personality was changed - he became a depressed, sad dog. In the last two weeks (after 3 weeks of this) he started to 'improve' and while he started scratching a bit more as the flea poison wore off, he started seeming to feeel better, to walk, to 'smile', to be happy to see his dog friends on the street. He now seems just about fine - although still not walking quite as much as he was 5 weeks ago before the frontline".

Advantage Flea product: how safe or how toxic is it?
Mary Ann lost her beloved bearded collie 'Kaimen' as a result of using Advantage Flea Drops. "Advantage flea drops were recomended by my veteranarian to control Kaimens flea problems. The drops were placed on the back of his head in the nape of the neck. After using Advantage for 13 months a growth the size of a golf ball emerged in that very same spot where the Advantage flea drop were placed. The growth was made of a grey colored flesh with a putrid odor. A purulent putrid liquid oozed out of it. Kaimen was taking to the vet, where I learned more about the growth and just how deadly Advantage is to our pets. The pesticide that is used in Advantage is called lmidacloprid and should NOT be absorbed through the skin. I learned that dogs and rats who were used to test this pesticide developped thyroid cancer and it affected their appetite. My dog Kaimen died at the age of two as a resuslt of using Advantage which caused a tumerous cancer to develop in his neck and which metastasized in his brain. I sent Bayer, the maker of Advantage, a letter with a return receipt but they never bothered to reply to my letter."

This is a Natural Insect Control Solution as a alternative to the Toxic Pyrethroid Substance currently emitted by popular Mosquito Misting and Irrigation Systems. Formulated with internally modified Cedar Oil and dilutable with water, the Natural Aroma of Red Cedar is instrumental in evacuation of flying insects from treated areas ranging from back yards to feed lots.MSC or better known as Misting System Concentrate We can offer a Safe and Environmentally Friendly concentrate for use in controlling Mosquitoes, Flies, Fleas, Ticks, Chiggers, Mites and other biting insects. Misting System Technology provides excellence performance in delivering a high pressure mist to the insect infested areas. Unfortunately the solution discharged is of a toxic nature. The Pyrethroids such as Pyrethrum Naturals and Pyrethrin Synthetics, and their Inerts, commonly used in misting systems, are contact killers. They attack the nervous system of the insect. When continuously used, the increased residual will have an effect on human and animal life as well. Beneficial insects such as Lady Bugs and Butterflies are destroyed. Microbial activity in the soil is rendered inactive and the plant life is eventually eliminated. As noted Garden Talk Show host Howard Garrett remarked, "If a little bit of a chemical will kill a insect, a little more will kill the birds, then your Cat and Dog, and then you". Statistics relate that 80% of all outside domestic cats die from Cancer triggered by feet exposed to chemically treated areas. The use of Pyrethroid products are linked to Autism in children and increase the estrogen levels of human females, often triggering Breast Cancer.
Cedar Oil is a natural insect repellent. When delivered in small amounts the aroma will overwhelm most insects. The Octopomine Neuro Receptors of the Non-Beneficial insect will detect the cedar aroma and block the Pheromone from the insects internal guidance system. By the same treatment, the Karimone of all treated matter is masked and the insect avoids that treated area. Insect control is enhanced as the interruption of the Egg Layer Cycle eliminates the next generation of newborn insects as this is the most important step. MSC performs three critical functions.
1. It repels the existing insect population.
2. It eliminates the next generation of insects by interrupting the egg layer cycle.
3. It creates a barrier of re-entry deterring migrating insects from the area. Mosquito and Fly, known as perpetual egg layers, are immediately controlled. The result is a reduced insect population in the treated area.
Misting Systems provide the unique delivery of pesticides for a variety of insect and West Nile Virus control endeavors. Equine, Dairy, Meat Packing, Poultry Houses, Kennels and Industrial Warehouse Facilities of all types. Residential and specialty applications such as Day Care Centers have recently embraced the technology. With the introduction of MSC, applications are now considered safe to children and pets.
The delivery of MSC through Misting Systems and Water Stream Injection Technology is a monumental achievement. Cedar Oil is a naturally unstable compound. Prior to the current internal modification of the cedar oil, this essential oil was not considered miscible. The use of water as a carrier was a challenge. CedarCides invention provides 100% stability at all dilution levels. The fluid is free from any impurities that could affect performance of high pressure pumps and nozzles. Vectorgation, the technology of delivery of a insect control substance through irrigation systems, home owner or agricultural, is now available as a Chemical Free product.
Numerous devices are available for the injection of MSC into the water stream destined for delivery by sprinkler heads of all types. Unlike Misting Systems, delivery is not targeted to specific areas. It will deliver the MSC to all zones programmed for irrigation. It is anticipated that Agriculture will embrace this new insect control protocol for use in production of organic foods. Pest Control Operators better known as PCO'S or pest exterminators now have access to the product.
