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 without the risk of exposing your pets or family to chemicals.
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.

You might be surprised to learn that while fleas thrive in humid, warm conditions – with the height of their activity in the spring, summer and even fall – they can and do endure the winter months by surviving in a variety of ways.
Everyone enjoys some quality snuggle time with their pets. A lot of us allow our pets onto the furniture at home and into our beds at night while we sleep. But what about fleas?
For many pet owners, fleas and ticks are a year-round concern – they celebrate all seasons and are always on the lookout for their next meal.
