For decades, Gnome Wellness has been producing Flik-Off, a natural bug repellant for both humans and pets. In creating this safe and efficient product, they discovered that plants naturally produce a pesticide to protect themselves from insects. This pesticide is composed of Allicin, an enzyme that is released when garlic is crushed or chopped. By using their proprietary process, Gnome Wellness captures 100% of this Allicin, which is then used in Flik-Off.
The concept of plants containing natural pesticides has become more widely known, due to the work of Bruce Nathan Ames, a professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. According to Dr. Ames, every plant contains roughly a few dozen different toxins, some of which (in high doses) could be toxic to both insects and humans. For example, it is known that cabbage produces at least 49 known pesticides.
The efficacy of Flik-Off has been tested in the Adirondack Mountains with dog walkers, where it was found to be extremely effective against ticks. With our complicated manufacturing process and formulation, Gnome Wellness have been able to create a safe, natural, and effective bug repellant for both humans and pets
