 The premise is simple: Study plants and animals that do not have flea and tick problems and copy how they do it. K.I.S.S. Eureka! Why didn't scientists think of this sooner? Maybe we are not trained to look too hard at the obvious. If you are looking for effective "natural" flea and tick products for your cat, house, dog or carpet, look no further - Sargeant's has a natural solution that was developed with common sense in the forefront of scientific evidence and studies. To protect themselves, certain plants have developed highly effective defense mechanisms against potentially harmful insects. That's the idea behind Sergeant's Nature's Guardian. Years of testing went into the development Sergeant's Nature's Guardian. Many natural active ingredients were tested and the best performers were combined to form a natural pest control barrier for your pet.
Sergeant's Nature's Guardian works by attacking a neurotransmitter only found in insects. Neurotransmitters control heart rate and metabolism. Insects such as fleas, ticks and mosquitoes produce a neurotransmitter called Octopamine. The natural oils found in Sergeant's Nature's Guardian block Octopamine - Causing a complete breakdown of the central nervous system - killing insects almost instantaneously. What makes this safe if it is so instantaneous? Octopamine is not found in humans other mammals and birds or fish, thus these products that are deadly to insects are safe to use around children and other pets, when used as directed. Don't use the products on Rabbits or Ferrets, though. They haven't done enough studies to truly say that they are not harmful to these types of pets.

Yip!- CLICK HERE!
 I read an article this morning that I found fascinating. Not because of the results of this study - but because it took scientific experiments to prove this. In a nutshell, over in London, they did a study that proved that dogs have empathy towards humans by showing that they will mimic a human's yawning behavior: The study of 29 dogs was conducted at the University of London in two stages. First, each dog watched a male researcher perform a large yawn, and then, in the control portion of the experiment, the dogs took turns observing the same researcher merely open his mouth. So now we know, our dogs have empathy towards are feelings. I did my own experiment at home this morning. Sat down next to Jake and yawned. He yawned back. Called him in my office, looked at him and yawned. He yawned back. Next, I laid down next to him on the floor and yawned. He licked my face. 2 out of 3 ain't bad :) Study after study, no matter how they slice the scientific evidence - the verdict comes back the same - dogs are good for humans and humans are good for dogs. Since we are on the subject of dog yawning here is a tip that I heard recently: If you want your pet to stop bothering you or jumping near you, yawn at least 3 times in quick succession. Animals yawn when they're tired (or as we learned above .. when you yarn). But they also yawn several times in a row to let you and any other animals know they're stressed or nervous. So, when your dog gets frisky, yawn like crazy to tell them "I'm tense, so give me a break."
