Ingredients & science

Protection grown, not synthesised.

WildRoot repels fleas, ticks and mosquitoes with three plant actives that insects avoid. Here is what is inside, why it works, and the safety standard it is built on.

The actives

Three plants doing the work.

Each was chosen for a known repellent property, then balanced so the collar releases them slowly across months rather than days.

Citronella

Cymbopogon

A long-trusted insect repellent. Its aroma masks the cues that draw mosquitoes and fleas toward a warm body, turning your pet into a place pests would rather skip.

Lavender

Lavandula

Gentle on pets, disliked by ticks and fleas. It softens the scent profile so the collar smells calm and herbal rather than sharp or chemical.

Linalool

Naturally derived

A naturally occurring compound found in lavender and many herbs, recognised for repelling and disrupting fleas at the gentle end of pest control.

25(b)MINIMUM RISK

The standard

Built on EPA Section 25(b) actives.

The U.S. EPA keeps a Section 25(b) list of active ingredients considered minimum-risk, the gentler end of pest control. WildRoot is formulated around actives in that class, which is the whole point: protection that does not ask you to handle harsh insecticides to get it.

Made for the whole home

Safe around the family that loves them.

No synthetic pesticides

The repellent action comes from plant oils, not the synthetic insecticides used in conventional collars.

Residue you can live with

Built so the coat your children stroke and the bed your pet sleeps in are not coated in harsh chemistry.

Slow, steady release

Body warmth releases the actives gradually for up to eight months, so protection stays even rather than spiking.

Right size, right fit

38cm for cats and 63cm for dogs, trimmed to leave two fingers of room for comfort.
