CritterZoneCritterZone
Does your little critter stink? Is it disturbing your sleep pattern? CritterZone offers the most powerful and affordable air naturalizer on the market. It is designed and tested to eliminate all kinds of odors with no filters and no chemicals; filters are an annoying pain and are expensive and cleaning the air without chemicals is environmentally smart and much better than covering odors up with sprays. CritterZone is a safe, powerful, effective way to clean up the air. Inspired by nature. Outdoor air uses the sun’s energy to clean itself. Indoor air is cut off from that cycle. CritterZone re-energizes indoor air so it can break down the stuff you want to get rid of. Plug it directly into a wall outlet and it immediately begins to deodorize your air.
