We’d like to return to the subject of Alex Gweneth from 5W Public Relations, willing lackey and outrageous shill for Hartz Mountain Corporation. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Gweneth and his role in this ugly affair, please read this article first.
Since having been exposed for fraud, Mr. Gweneth has been quite busy. Is he running around correcting inaccuracies we’ve exposed?
No, of course not. Hartz does not fix problems.
Instead; Hartz Mountain Corporation, through Mr. Gweneth, has decided to continue peddling their overwhelmingly fraudulent claim that their flea treatment products for cats cause no adverse reactions:
This author bio can be found at the bottom of every one of Alex Gweneth’s Ewagz.com articles as well as his author page. As you can see Mr. Gweneth has posted 7 more articles, on Ewagz.com alone, since we last checked in on him.
Mr. Gweneth has been hard at work spreading more Hartz crap all over the internet but, today, we’d like to highlight some older posts by Mr. Gweneth, which were not covered in our previous exposé. These articles have been left in their entirety in the interest of preserving their “integrity”.
In this first piece, you’ll see Mr. Gweneth performing his usual routine of fear-mongering, followed by claims attempting to mislead potential consumers into thinking Hartz is a trusted brand, complete with a false statement that these products are well known to produce minimal adverse reactions over the years.
(Hatrz [sic] Flea & Tick Products – Providing the Best Protection To Your Pets posted on articlesvision.com on February 2, 2012, by Alex Gweneth)

This next piece is filled with more crazy nonsense.
Mr. Gweneth actually mentions vacuuming, however he adds the totally unnecessary step of burning the vacuum bag afterwards even though fleas can not survive inside the confines of a vacuum bag.
The act of burning the vacuum bag afterwards is even more dangerous if one has chosen to utilize Hartz Carpet Powder as Mr. Gweneth suggests. We do not imagine burning off pesticides is a good idea.
More disturbingly, this article seems to be running the risk of causing the possibility of overexposure to these pesticides by suggesting such a fierce and multi-tiered plan of action, when the simple acts of vacuuming and laundering would probably suffice.
(Relinquish [??] Fleas and Ticks with Hartz Flea and Tick Control Products posted on articlesvision.com on February 1, 2012, by Alex Gweneth)
“Winning the war against fleas and ticks requires preparation and research. These nasty creatures not only live off their host by sucking their blood day in and day out but also act as carriers of deadly diseases and parasites such as tapeworms. The itchy whelps [sic] they leave behind on the skin of their host are both unsightly and [sic] nuisance. Don’t for a moment believe, [sic] that they are [sic] threat to only your cats, dogs, or hamsters, these little beasts can easily choose you for their next ride.
How you make sure that your pets and your home are free from parasites is entirely up to you. But you are not alone in your crusade against these tiny brutes as Hartz flea & tick prevention products help you to eliminate them and keep [sic] away for good.
There is nothing to be embarrassed about if your home gets infested with fleas.While it is not a reflection on the cleanliness of your home, remedying the problem may require you to take action on several fronts. Along with treating your pets with various Hartz Flea & Tick control products like Hartz Flea & Tick Shampoo, Hartz Flea & Tick Collars and Hartz Flea & Tick Drops etc. you should thoroughly vacuum your home and burn the bag afterwards. Hartz Flea & Tick Carpet Powder would [sic] help you to eliminate any remaining flea eggs and prevent fleas from returning.

We’d like to conclude today’s post by addressing a piece Alex Gweneth did about Hartz’ Facebook Flea & Tick Education Tab. It should come as no surprise the piece is garbage, concluding with these sentences:
(Hartz launches Flea and Tick Education program on Facebook posted on ezinemark.com on February 5, 2012, by Alex Gweneth, Paragraph 5, Sentences 2 and 3)
“With an extensive set of information about Hartz products, common dog and cat flea problems, news and updates, everything is right at the fingertips of concerned pet owners. It may be all that pet parents need to keep their four-legged friends happy and healthy during any season.”
Though Hartz would like very much to be the only resource consumers utilize, given the wealth of inaccuracies we’ve found on their Facebook Flea & Tick Education Tab, we think the public would be better off consulting the EPA and reputable Veterinarians.
In conclusion, Mr. Gweneth’s postings since our first piece have been a bit more careful, but we’re sure he’ll give us something more to talk about in the future.
Stay tuned.
