Pesticides for Animals

Reasons to treat Pets and Animals against Pests
Livestock and horse pests and parasites feed on the blood, skin, hair, feathers, and wounds of an animal. Their bites cause physical and mental health issues for the animal. They are also vectors of disease. Common symptoms experienced by animals include: malnutrition, blood loss, slowed growth, and fatigue.
