There are many hidden dangers to our cats some of which we probably don’t even think about because we use the products on a daily basis. One such danger is household bug spray.
We were just alerted by a fellow cat lover about an article in the Wired magazine about what’s inside a can of RAID. Basically the main insecticide used in the bug spray cannot be filtered out of your cat’s system fast enough before it hurts or even kills them.
There are natural alternatives to these chemical sprays like the Sentry Natural Defense Household Spray that is safe to use around pets, children, and even food. It kills most household pests like spiders, ants, fleas and more naturally.
Mind you the product does contain mineral spirits so do not use in direct contact with your cat and keep him away until the spray is completely dried just as you would the more harmful chemical based products.
From the product brochure, “Because octopamine is not found in humans or other mammals, birds and fish, the natural active ingredients in Sentry Natural Defense products are safe to use around your family or pets, when used as directed.”
