Why You Don´t Need Chemicals to Kill Pests or Clean Clothes

Natural products with enzymes to control pests are extremely effective because insects depend on enzymes to shed their hard outer shells (exoskeletons). While insects go through the molting process naturally, if forced to do so prematurely it is deadly. This is why enzyme-based formulas are so effective on a wide variety of pests. ERADICATOR, ELF FOR BED BUG and KLEEN FREE NATURALLY are natural enzyme solutions which actually kill Bed Bugs on contact.

The four most common enzymes are Protease, Lipase, Amylase and Cellulase. They are sourced from aspergillus and grown in a laboratory setting on plants such as soy and barley. They are called plant based, microbial and fungal. Of all the choices, plant based enzymes are the most active or potent. This means they contain the highest active units and can break down more fat, protein and carbohydrates in the broadest pH range than any other source.

Lipases constitute the most important group of biocatalysts for biotechnological applications. Lipases have been isolated from many species of plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and yeast. Proteases are most widely used enzymes in detergent removing protein stains such as grass, blood, egg and human sweat which tend to adhere strongly to textile fibers. Lipase is capable of removing fatty stains such as fats, butter, salad oil, sauces and the tough stains on collars and cuffs.

This Enzyme solution has no smell and is safe around people and pets so it can be sprayed directly on the bed and around the bedroom safely. Exterminators spray the poisons while you and your pets have to leave. They don’t kill the eggs which hatch 3 days later and the infestation begins again. Generally they charge a minimum of $250 per visit.

You can buy a gallon of our KLEEN FREE CONCENTRATE and get 8 gallons (after mixing with water) to spray for the 10 days it takes to kill all the Bed Bugs and the eggs that will hatch eventually. ELF has two efficacy reports from Entomologists at University of Florida and Virginia Tech concluding our enzymes kill 99% of the bed bugs they tested on.

The Dangerously Effective Repellent You Should Avoid Like the Plague

Insect Repellents that contain DEET make up largest market share. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), about one-third of the U.S. population uses DEET-containing products every year.

Their popularity is likely due to the fact that they do work very well at killing insects, but at what expense to your health? You should know although the EPA maintains “normal use of DEET does not present a health concern to the general population,” this chemical is a known neurotoxin.

Studies conducted at Duke University found using DEET frequently or for extended periods may damage your brain cells, resulting in:

• Memory loss
• Headache
• Weakness and fatigue
• Muscle and joint pain
• Tremors
• Shortness of breath

Important note is the EPA based their safety studies on brief exposures to DEET. They state, “Human exposure is expected to be brief, and long-term exposure is not expected.”

Studies have shown when used in high amounts, or for long periods of time, DEET is far from safe. According to research by Duke University, while lab rats had no reaction to DEET when used for 30 days, after 60 days their brain cells started to die. This chemical has also been shown to cause nervous-system damage, including:

• Insomnia
• Mood changes
• Disorientation and clumsiness when walking
• Seizures
• Coma
• Even death

New research last year revealed DEET is, in fact, toxic to the central nervous system. Writing in the journal BMC Biology, the French researchers wrote, "We've found that deet is not simply a behavior-modifying chemical but also inhibits the activity of a key central nervous system enzyme, acetycholinesterase, in both insects and mammals."

The EPA recommends washing DEET from your skin and clothing immediately. Unfortunately the DEET washes down the drain, is now showing up in rivers, lake and even drinking water. ELF offers you environmentally safe solution to pest control and laundry needs.
