Pyranha Zero Bite Natural Fly Spray

Pyranha, a leader in insecticide control, has released a new product this past April that is an all natural based Fly Spray. This new and innovative product is called Zero-Bite and has been approved by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as a zero chemical pesticide. This Zero-Bite spray repels not only flies, but mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, lice and fleas and it is safe to use on your dogs (which their other formulations were not safe for your canine companions).

Now, while all that sounds great on paper, what has been the issue in the past is those “all natural” and water based sprays don’t really work. So I have decided to take this new formulation on the ultimate test drive. Here in Minnesota we have been getting crazy rain this spring (along with the rest of the country having insane weather so far this year) and since we are known for mosquitoes this year it will be especially bad because of all the wet weather. So, to me it sounds like the perfect conditions to try out this new spray!

Within the next few days we will receive our shipment from Pyranha with a few cases of this Zero-Bite included. I will then be using some on my dog and walking along the Luce Line Trail. For those unfamiliar with the Luce Line it’s a very long walking, biking, horse riding and snow mobile trail here in Minnesota. On the hot summer days while walking this trail the shade provided by the trees is a haven for all sorts of flying bugs. I will be testing if the bugs will even land on my dog when she is sprayed, if they do for how long, and if they swarm as usual and then will report my findings back for everyone to read.

Stay tuned to see the Pyranha Zero-Bite results!
