Insect Control Products 
Important Note: Studies still being conducted but, if you live in an area that has Killer Bees,
don't use anything with Citronella in it. It attacts them and aggitates them.
Studies have shown that Pyrethrum, Permectrin, Resmethrin, and the Pyrethroid family of chemicals when absorbed
by the skin, inhaled, or ingested cause enlarged llivers, interruption of the endocrine (reproduction) system,
nervous system, and depression of the immune system. Check out the National Pesticide Information Center at www.NPIC.orst.edu
for further details. These chemicals are commonly found in most equine fly and pest repellent products. A product
can still say all natural but have these chemicals as allowed by the EPA.
Don’t be deceived when you see “all natural” on the bottle, check the label. If you see Pyrethrum, Pyrethrin or
Pyrethroid (synthetic Pyrethrum) on the list of ingredients, consider the toxicity to your horses, your ground
water, beneficial insects and your exposure as well. For more information about Pyrethrum, Pyrethrin & Pyrethroids,
visit the National Pesticide Information Center.

The product is handmade in small batches with the freshest possible ingredients
and 14 high quality essential oils proven to be effective as insect guards with a
wonderful calming scent of a specific blend with a top scent of lavender oil. One of the main ibgredients in the
Bugrepel product is catnip oil. According to
findings presented by Iowa State University to the American Chemical Society, nepetalactone, the esssential oil
that lends the plant it's
characteristic scent, repels the pesky insects 10 times more effectively than does DEET, the active ingredient
in most commercial insect repellents.
The specific blend is all natural and can be usefd by all ages - babies to old people and pregnant women without
trouble. The blends were created to be safe
for human and animal skin without worry. The oils are 100% pure and natural and of the highest quality possible.

Highly Tested Natural Insect Repellents with the Ingredients of a Fine Perfume!
Note : We DO NOT use : Oil of Aloe, Chrysanthemum , Citronella, Penny Royal
, Tea Tree (also known as Melaleuca) or Wormwood because of the extreme toxicity levels and the potential of causing
fatality in animals and or humans.
Because Bugrepel has some of the same high quality essential oils that are in the finest perfumes (Catnip, lavender,
orange, lemon, cinnamon, peppermint, birch, sage, thyme, are some of the ingredients); some men and women have
been wearing it just for the fragrance. (The ingredients in Bugrepel are proven natural insect repellents.
Stay healthy and happy with Bugrepel. Insects have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Certain plants emit aromatic
molecules (essential oils) to attract particular insects to them to aid in self-preservation through pollination,
while others can emit specific aromatic molecules to ward off or repel insects for self-protection. I have combined
essential oils that repel mosquitoes, ticks, black flies, and fleas in a water based spray that will not harm you,
your family, pets, or stain clothing. Most commercial products on the market used as bug repellents are harmful
and contain irritating chemicals that should not come into contact with the skin, eyes, or mucous membranes (or
be inhaled for that matter). On the other hand, essential oils are very useful in repelling insects and are a safe
and natural alternative. Bugrepel is 100% pure high quality essential oils in either a pure spring water or soybean
oil base.
Nothing else like it anywhere--patent pending. I've developed a special blend of high quality flower and herb essential
oils in pure spring water base or soybean oil based sprays that work as natural insect repellents. There is also
a concentrate that you can add to your favorite products to use all over and save you money.
Here is an article from Scientific American on how effective catnip is in repelling
mosquitoes.
Felines' Favorite Herb Proves Abhorrent to Mosquitoes
Your feline may find it irresistible, but catnip has rather a different effect on mosquitoes. Indeed, according
to findings presented yesterday at a meeting of the American Chemical Society, nepetalactone, the essential oil
that lends the plant its characteristic scent, repels the pesky insects about 10 times more effectively than does
DEET, the active ingredient in most commercial insect repellents.
Earlier work carried out by Joel Coats of Iowa State University and then–postdoctoral researcher Chris Peterson
had revealed the cockroach's dislike of catnip. The same team thus decided to investigate whether mosquitoes might
share that opinion. Placing groups of 20 mosquitoes in a glass tube, half of which was treated with a high dose
(1 percent) of nepetalactone, the researchers found that after 10 minutes, only 20 percent of the insects remained
on the treated side. When they tested the effects of a lose dose (0.1 percent) of the catnip oil, 25 percent of
the mosquitoes stayed in the treated area. In contrast, when the team ran the same experiment with DEET (diethyltoluamide),
40 to 45 percent of the bugs held their ground on the treated side of the tube.
Peterson notes that it takes about one tenth as much catnip oil as DEET to have the same repellent effect on the
mosquitoes. Though the team only used the so-called yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, in their experiments,
they say nepetalactone should prove similarly abhorrent to all mosquito species. What the researchers can't explain
is why the catnip drives the insects away in the first place. "It might simply be acting as an irritant or
they don’t like the smell," Peterson offers. "But nobody really knows why insect repellents work."
If it proves safe for people, nepetalactone could one day find its way into commercial products. In the meantime,
the Iowa State University Research Foundation has submitted a patent application for use of the catnip compounds
as insect repellents. —Kate Wong CHEMISTRY- Scientific American Aug 2001

ABC's Organic Garlic
Garlic is a traditional cure for worms and other parasites and has the ability to deter biting flies.
Rich in sulfur, once garlic is ingested it will cleanse the blood and then be excreted
through the pores of the skin where
the sulfur compounds are mildly noxious to parasites.
Garlic is also ideal for respiratory disorders due to its expectorant qualities
and is one of the best herbs to prevent and fight infections.
Very popular in Europe, garlic's strengths and effects are legendary! Considered one of the best general tonics,
it stimulates the appetite, is rich in B vitamins and sulphur, is a blood purifier, expectorant, and in many cases
it can help reduce your horse's appeal to flies. Garlic is also ideal for respiratory disorders, being both an
expectorant and having anti-biotic qualities it will encourage the expulsion of mucus from the lungs and help with
any infection present. Garlic is also excellent for skin problems, being rich in sulphur, which is excreted through
the pores in the skin. Garlic is also an excellent aid to digestion. It supports the development of natural bacterial
flora, whilst killing pathogens. Garlic is an immune system booster and can be used during seasons of change or
whenever the immune system may be challenged. Externally: the juice from a cut bulb can be used on cuts, bites,
stings, lice and ringworm, as well as tick bites. NOTE: care should be taken if you are feeding nursing mares garlic:
it may taint the milk and upset the foals sensitive digestive system, however, immune sysem support for mare and
foal may be enhanced by decreasing the dose to 2 -3 teaspoons.

Garlic - Officially Safe
All animal feed products in the United States are regulated by a
national organization called the American Feed Control Officials,
Inc. (AFCO). AFCO, composed of each state’s agricultural department officials, is responsible for monitoring safety
issues regarding feeds and supplements. AFCO prohibits substances that may harm and lists approved ingredients
with a proven safety history. Such items are called GRAS (generally recognized as safe), and are listed in AFCO’s
Official Publication. Garlic is one of the many natural foods and herbs which have earned the GRAS status by having
a clean and clear history of use. AFCO gathers information from many sources (for example, professional toxicologists
from all over the United States) and they really know what they are talking about!
So there we have it. Garlic, the world’s most popular health tonic, is backed by thousands of years of history
and recognized by leading veterinary, regulatory, medical, and scientific organizations.

A Natural Mosquito Repellent – Garlic for Mosquito Control
Why Does Garlic Repel Mosquitoes?
“It’s not clear why garlic should be an effective mosquito repellent. It would
seem that the powerful compounds such as allicin which garlic releases are
inimical to mosquitoes. They have therefore evolved to avoid garlic. Another
possibility is that the strong smell of garlic overwhelms the mosquito’s sense
of smell and prevents them from finding the prey (us!)...Whatever the mechanism,
garlic’s ability to repel a variety of pests has been proven scientifically.”

GARLIC BLEND - Earthsong Ranch
The garlic is great for repelling flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and helps in
the intestinal tract to limit parasitic infestations - it is also a "natural" antibiotic so if there
is any thing going on internally or externally it helps to heal the body as well. I have used garlic for years
to help to repel flies - I don't like using chemical fly sprays and try to use only Nature's Defense on the horses
and dogs - You should see results in 7 to 10 days. Use up to 2 Tablespoons per horse.
Ingredients: Organic Garlic blended with Stabilized Rice Bran
Item Garlic Blend 1# $12.50
