How I Protect My “Daughter” From The Bugs She Hates

This is a sponsored post, but as always, the opinions are all my own.

I’m the mom of a couple of wild, crazy boys and I’ve written about not having a daughter a number of times but the truth of the matter is I kind of have one. Her name is Hadley and she’s really fond of running around the house and yard in nothing but a pair of pigtails. Okay, so she’s a dog but that doesn’t stop me from occasionally dressing her up in a tutu. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Hadley is a rescue dog who’s been a part of our family for 6 years now and we love her too much to let anything bad happen to her, like getting fleas or ticks. It’s not always easy to avoid those things down here in the deep South where “hot season” (temps in which fleas thrive) is about 9 months out of the year.

So we use Adams™ Flea & Tick Control Products. We love Adams™ For Dogs Flea & Tick Spot On® — and if you’ve ever put flea treatments on your dogs, then you know the hardest part is getting the product on their skin instead of all over their hair. But not in this case because of the award-winning Adams™ Smart Shield® applicator (free when you buy the product at WalMart). So. Much. Easier. The innovative design keeps liquid off hands, parts your dog’s fur, and helps get liquid down to the skin, where the bugs live. All for less than most vet brands.

The best way to protect your furry family member (and I’ve always had dogs so I’m experienced) is to treat pets, your home and yard before a flea and tick outbreak happens. Adams™ Flea & Tick Control Products can help you with all of that. I especially love the Adams™ Flea & Tick Home Spray, which protects your home from infestations by killing fleas, ticks – even roaches, ants, spiders, mosquitoes and bed bugs. It starts killing in 5 minutes and offers up to 7 months of protection.

To help pet owners stay on top of flea and tick control, the makers of Adams™ products are now offering FREE Adams Flea & Tick Outbreak Alerts which provide helpful heads up about local weather changes and the related threat of flea and tick outbreaks in your zip code (Fleas and ticks become widespread when temperatures are above 70°F and outbreaks are often triggered by changes in temperature and humidity).
