Wondercide Bug Repellant for Pets Update | Shark Tank Season 7

Stephanie Boone was at home when her dog, Luna, got really sick after using a regular flea treatment. The chemicals in the product were too harsh and almost killed her dog. That’s what led Stephanie to create Wondercide, a line of natural pest control products that are safe for pets, people, and the home. Let’s take a look at which shark showed interest in making a deal in our Wondercide update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Wondercide after Shark Tank.

Stephanie and Laura pitched their all-natural line of bug repellent for pets on Shark Tank Season 7, seeking $500,000 for 5% equity. After their pitch, they reached an agreement for a deal with Lori Greiner for $500,000 for 3% equity and $0.50 per unit sold until repayment.

In terms of a Wondercide update, the company saw steady growth in sales, expanded into major retailers, and reached an over $14 million valuation, making it a long-term success without investor backing.

Shark Tank Wondercide Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Stephanie Boone and Laura Alter
• Business: All-natural line of bug repellent for pets
• Ask: $500,000 for 5% equity
• Result: $500,000 for 3% equity and 50 cents per unit sold until repayment
• Shark: Lori Greiner

Laura and Stephanie entered Shark Tank with their dog, Mercy. They asked for an investment in their company, Wondercide.

Stephanie started by explaining how her dog, Luna, got very sick from a regular flea treatment back in 2008.

That experience pushed her to create a safer option for pets, people, and homes.

Next, Laura continued the pitch. She said Wondercide products are made in the USA, lab-tested, and fully natural. The sprays can be used on pets, children, furniture, and even lawns.

She added that they’re non-toxic, non-staining, and have no smell. Their goal was to get the products into major retail stores with the help of a shark.

Stephanie explained that most pesticides use 95% water and 5% toxic chemicals. Wondercide uses only food-grade ingredients and no water.

At that point, Robert Herjavec then asked about sales. Stephanie said Wondercide had made over $4 million. That caught everyone’s attention.

Kevin O’Leary asked for a breakdown. Laura said 80% of sales were online, with 75% in pet care. Robert asked how the company started.

In response, Stephanie said she left real estate and taught herself chemistry. She tested ingredients until she found a formula that worked.

Lori Greiner asked if the product had been tested. Laura said yes—and that lab results showed Wondercide kills fleas, ticks, and bedbugs within 24 hours.

Daymond John asked about profit margins. Stephanie said they had a 70% margin. Daymond liked that.

Shifting focus, Mark Cuban wanted to know how they’d use the $500,000. Stephanie said they wanted to hire sales staff and expand into retail.

However, Mark questioned the move to retail. Kevin said it would lower their profit margins.

Laura responded that being in stores made it easier for customers to buy and would help them grow. She made it clear they weren’t abandoning online sales.

Soon after, Daymond offered $500,000 for 15% equity. Stephanie and Laura said they weren’t comfortable giving up that much.

Then, Kevin then offered $500,000 for a 6.75% royalty until he got $1.5 million back, plus 3% equity. Stephanie and Laura pushed back. They said they could get a 6% bank loan.

Still, Kevin argued that a bank doesn’t offer what “Mr. Wonderful” does.

Daymond pointed out they were giving reasons not to do a deal. Mark dropped out. He didn’t want to support a retail strategy. Robert followed, also stepping out.

Lori offered $500,000 for a $0.50 royalty per unit sold until she recovered the money, then 3% equity. Stephanie asked if Daymond would join her. He declined.

Without delay, Lori told them to decide quickly, reminding them that things move fast in the Tank. After a quick chat, Stephanie and Laura accepted Lori’s offer.

Shark Tank Wondercide Update

Since appearing on Shark Tank, Wondercide has continued to be a success.

We reached out to Stephanie to get a more detailed Wondercide update, and she shared that after the episode aired, she decided to turn down Lori’s offer.

“We actually didn’t finalize the deal with Lori, and we weren’t able to share that for some time,” Stephanie told Shark Tank Recap.

“You only have a few moments to think about the offer and make a decision. Afterward, when I had more time to reflect and think about how I wanted to manage the business, I realized we had to walk away,” Stephanie told us.

Despite not taking the deal, we still have great news for our Wondercide update.

Stephanie shared that sales have increased every year since Shark Tank, and whenever the episode airs, they receive a big boost in sales.

Stephanie told us, “To this day, after Shark Tank re-airs, we see a spike in business.”

A wealth of products in many sizes and options are available on the Wondercide website as well as on Amazon.

Moreover, in 2019, the company faced a class-action lawsuit. The complaint claimed some of its “green” products caused skin irritation due to synthetic ingredients.

The lawsuit was dismissed after a settlement, though the terms weren’t made public.

Wondercide pushed forward and got into more stores. Their products became available in hundreds of pet shops nationwide, including major retailers like PetSmart.

In August 2023, Stephanie stepped down as CEO. She moved into mentorship and joined Skribe, a video deposition service, as an investor.

The company was making about $6.5 million in annual revenue as of April 2024.

In March 2025, Wondercide relocated its headquarters to Round Rock, Texas, to support ongoing growth.

At the time of this writing, the company’s estimated net worth is $14.64 million.

We’re calling this Wondercide update a success.
