How Does Natural Defense Work?
Certain plants contain compounds that give them the ability to defend themselves against insects. Natural Defense is a synergistic blend of botanical extracts including peppermint oil, cinnamon oil and lemongrass oil. This combination of oils significantly enhances the pesticidal activity of Natural Defense. How? Octopamine!
Octopamine is a key neurotransmitter found in insects, it is the insect's equivalent of adrenaline. It regulates their heart rate, behavior and metabolism. The unique molecular structure targets and blocks octopamine neurotransmitter receptors in insects. Blocking octopamine results in a total breakdown of the insect's central nervous system. As mammals, fish and birds have no receptors for octopamine, the ingredients do not have this affect on them... or people!
Available in 12 oz. aerosol can.

Two-Way Spray
Press button very lightly to get a narrow stream for insects hiding in cracks and cervices. Press firmly for a fine mist to spray surfaces where the listed insect pests crawl. Pests must be directly sprayed in order to be killed.
Hold can upright 2 or 3 feet from surfaces to be treated or turn container upside down and point valve toward surface to be sprayed. Be sure to apply uniformly using a sweeping motion to carpets, rugs, drapes and all surfaces of upholstered furniture. Be sure to treat pet bedding as this is a primary hiding place for fleas. No need to remove pet bedding after treatment.
Avoid wetting furniture and carpeting. A fine mist or spray applied uniformly is all that is necessary to kill fleas and ticks. Repeat as necessary.
This product may stain siding and other exterior or interior surfaces (walls, floor coverings, etc.) depending on age and cleanliness. Before using in areas where the spray may contact surfaces in question, test on an inconspicuous area and recheck in a few hours.
This product contains tree and plant oils that are inherently fragrant. When used in confined spaces, prolonged exposure to the fragrance may be objectionable to some individuals. If fragrance persists, simply wipe away any excess product and ventilate the area with fresh air.
