When pets first began to appear in humans, it is not known for certain. Scientists believe that this was the case in the Stone Age. Today almost every family has pets and each has its own reasons: to find a faithful friend or to make a profit.

General rules for caring for pets

To keep your pets safely, you need to know about the rules for caring for animals indoors.

  • Complete and varied food.

Before acquiring or taking an animal, you need to study what and in what quantities it eats. Food should be as natural as possible, with a balanced composition.

  • Keeping pets in a clean room.

Feverfew (Insect Powder)

It doesn't matter who it is - aquarium fish, cats with dogs or parrots. Their place should always be clean. If, for example, the litter is dirty, various insects can settle on it, which can cause discomfort and pain not only to the pet, but also to the household. If their bowls are not washed in a timely manner, pathogens / pathogens may accumulate there, which will lead to the development of diseases.

  • You need to carefully monitor the health of your pet.

You need to visit your veterinarian regularly and get all the necessary vaccinations on time. During the first vaccination, the animal must be issued a passport, where in the future all examinations and vaccinations will be recorded. If you show any symptoms, you should immediately go to the doctor, because animals get sick just like people.

Feverfew - a drug for pests

Feverfew is an insect repellent powder that is in great demand due to its natural composition, it is not toxic to humans and animals. Its high efficiency is noted against insects, for example, bugs, fleas, cockroaches, etc.

What is feverfew

When choosing a product, a person, first of all, pays attention to the composition. Indeed, it is very important for everyone that the drug does not harm the family and the pet. The assortment of such drugs is quite large, but each of them has disadvantages: a pungent odor, a high degree of toxicity, an unstable result. Feverfew from bugs and fleas is devoid of such disadvantages, since no chemical compounds are used in its manufacture, the composition is completely natural.

The insecticide received this name due to the main active ingredient - dried flowers of Persian chamomile. Previously, bundles of this dried plant were laid out on cabinets and shelves. For a person, this aroma is pleasant, but it repels pests quite strongly.

Important! The effectiveness of chamomile against bedbugs and other insects was noticed long ago, and all thanks to the smell that it exudes.

Feverfew is a contact insecticide. After the active substance enters the insect's shell, it enters the body, causing deviations:

  • the work of all vital organs and systems is disrupted (the effect is due to impaired transmission of impulses);
  • paralysis occurs, that is, feverfew spray deprives insects of the ability to move.

Pest treatment with chamomile infusion deprives them of the opportunity to get to water and food. The number of adults is rapidly decreasing, and the surviving insects lose their reproductive functions, as a result, the ability to restore the population becomes impossible.

Attention! If the room is infested with insects, it is advisable to use synthetic insecticidal tablets or aerosols.
