Para*Clear

A natural way to control fleas that is safe for pets and people. Para*Clear is made from 100% food grade Diatomaceous earth. Diatomaceous earth is a powder comprised of microskeletons of deceased diatoms, which are a type of algae (both fresh water and sea water varieties occur). You sprinkle the powder on your pets and your carpets, and the fleas die from dehydration. When applied to the animal's fur, Diatomaceous earth scrubs on the hard exoskeletons of fleas. The tiny granules of silicon (think finely ground sand) work in the tiny holes of the flea's respiratory system and in the joints of the fleas. Every time the flea moves or breathes, the silicon grinds away at the exoskeleton, eventually killing the flea through blocking/maiming the respiratory holes or by water loss, as the exoskeleton helps keep in the flea's body water. It works the same way when applied to carpets instead of fur.

Azmira's Para*Clear is veterinarian approved for use on or near puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, llames, horses, sheep, chickens, gaming birds, pigs and cows, when used as direct.

How to use it

For maximum benefit, sprinkle liberally around indoor and outdoor areas.

Be sure to brush Para*Clear down into carpet base while also applying to baseboards, cracks, pet's bedding and under furniture. It is safe to use directly on your pet, around children, plants, food stuff or added to dry goods.

Repeat as often as needed, especially after area gets wind blown, wet or vacuumed. Remove vacuumed debris after each cleaning.

May be applied directly to the pet's coat but can dry the skin; avoid prolonged skin contact and bathe with Azmira Organic Conditioner when remoisturizing is needed. Avoid prolonged inhalation of dust during application or getting it in the eyes. Rinse affected area with cool water.
