An alternative to synthetic pesticides, Nature’s Shield contains a blend of natural, essential oils that aid in the prevention and control of fleas and ticks.
Our naturally-derived home and on-pet sprays contain gentle and safe ingredients, like lemongrass and cedarwood, which treat parasitic pests externally by not exposing your family and pets to synthetic pesticides.
Cedarwood oil is derived from the needles, leaves, bark and berries of cedar trees. Similarly, lemongrass oil is extracted from the leaves and stalks of the tropical, grassy lemongrass plant.
Both herbal substances are a natural insect repellent, and have been proven to be lethal to fleas, flea eggs, flea larvae and ticks due to their ability to disrupt the insects’ nervous system function.
When fleas and ticks are exposed to the cedarwood oil extracts in Hartz Nature’s Shield, pheromones are disrupted which disorient the insect and interfere with fundamental processes like breathing which can ultimately kill the insect.
Lemongrass contains a high concentration of the chemical component citral which increases the pesticidal activity of the formulation. The formulation also kills flea eggs and larvae to put an end to an active infestation. The lingering scent of the botanical oils then work to act as a barrier of entry to newly arriving fleas and ticks.

If fleas are on your dog, you can be sure that they are also in your home. There are three ways you can take action for flea control and prevention: immediate treatment, infestation control and infestation prevention.
We’ve all heard the old saying that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Nothing could be truer in the context of a potential flea or tick infestation of your dog and home.
While we could traditionally count on the late spring and summer months as being “flea and tick season,” the effects of global warming are extending the season dramatically.
