How Trail Hound Started
Trail Hound didn’t start with pest control—we actually began with a clean, natural dog shampoo.
We wanted something safe and effective for our own dogs while giving us the freedom to explore entrepreneurship & we wanted to focus on products without the harsh sulfates, chemicals, or fake fragrances.
That one product took off, and it wasn’t long before customers asked for natural flea & tick shampoo too. To go with our flea & tick shampoo, so we developed Trail Guard—our first plant-powered repellent.
Then everything changed............the ants invaded.
Our home was overrun, and we bought every “natural” pest spray we could find. Not a single one of them worked........ And that’s when it hit us:
The natural pest control industry is broken.
The Dirty Secret Behind "Natural" Pest Control
When we dove into the “natural” pest control world, we were shocked.
Most sprays were 96% water, repackaged across brands with the same weak formula—just marketed for different pests.
One spray for ants. Another for spiders. Same ingredients. Same bottle.
No real targeting. No real potency. And worst of all? No results.
Some even had ingredients that shouldn’t be there at all.
That’s when we made the pivot.
We built high-potency, pest-specific formulas with 3–5x the active ingredients.
No gimmicks. Just serious, plant-powered defense that actually works.
Why Choosing Trail Hound is Easy
Meet The Founders
Trail Hound started with a dream — not just to build a business, but to build a life we’re proud of.
We’re Don and Sara, partners in life and business, raising four amazing kids together. When we created Trail Hound, it wasn’t about chasing profits. It was about helping real families like ours live safer, cleaner lives — while creating something meaningful our children could grow up watching.
We saw a problem in the natural pest control space — watered-down formulas, misleading claims, and products that just didn’t work. So we decided to do it differently: honest, high-potency formulas that actually get the job done, without harsh chemicals.
For us, Trail Hound is more than a brand. It’s a way to teach our kids about responsibility, entrepreneurship, and doing the right thing — even when it’s harder. It’s a way to build a future filled with freedom, purpose, and integrity.
We’re proud of every bottle we make. And even prouder to show our kids what’s possible when you lead with heart and do work that matters.
Thanks for being part of the journey.
