Warm weather brings sunshine, green grass, and the great outdoors — but it also brings ticks. Among the most concerning is the deer tick, known for spreading Lyme disease and other infections. Whether you're hiking through wooded trails, playing in the backyard, or just enjoying a summer picnic, it's important to protect yourself, your family, and your pets from these tiny but dangerous pests.

What Are Deer Ticks?

Deer ticks (or black-legged ticks) are small, hard-to-see arachnids that thrive in tall grasses, leaf litter, and wooded areas. They're most active in spring and early summer, and they latch onto hosts — including humans and pets — to feed on blood. Because they're so small (about the size of a poppy seed), they can go unnoticed until it's too late.

Why Ticks Are a Concern

Deer ticks can carry:

• Lyme disease

• Anaplasmosis

• Babesiosis

Early detection and prevention are key. That’s where smart habits — and natural products like Kleen Green — come in.

How Kleen Green Helps

Kleen Green Naturally Enzymes™ is a safe, non-toxic enzyme cleaner that breaks down the exoskeletons of insects like ticks, mites, and fleas — without the use of harsh chemicals. Here's how you can use it as part of your tick-fighting strategy:

✅ 1. Spray Clothing and Gear

Before heading outside, lightly spray clothing, socks, and shoes with a diluted Kleen Green solution. It won’t stain or irritate, and it helps create a less hospitable environment for ticks.

✅ 2. Treat Pets Naturally

Pets are frequent tick targets. Use Kleen Green (diluted as directed) to spray or wipe down your dog’s coat after walks in grassy or wooded areas. It’s gentle enough for daily use and doesn’t contain harmful pesticides.

✅ 3. Clean Your Home and Yard

Ticks don’t just stay outside. Spray Kleen Green around entryways, baseboards, pet beds, and under furniture where pests might hide. You can also use it to clean picnic gear, outdoor furniture, and even tents or sleeping bags.

✅ 4. Safe Tick Disposal

If you find a tick, don’t just flush it — place it in a small container of soapy water mixed with Kleen Green. This helps break down the tick’s protective surface and ensures it’s thoroughly neutralized.

A Healthier Way to Stay Tick-Free

Kleen Green is more than just a cleaner — it’s peace of mind in a bottle. With no chemical residue, it's safe for children, pets, and the environment. This summer, enjoy nature without fear. Stay clean. Stay green. Stay protected.
