WHAT IS YARDSAFE?

Yardsafe is an all natural, nontoxic and ready-to-use solution for outdoor pest control—think of it as a ready-to-use version of PCO Choice. Yardsafe eliminates unwanted insects without adversely impacting the soil or the environment.

Yardsafe’s applications are the same as PCO Choice: lawns, gardens, pet spaces, sports fields, barns, agricultural land, foundation barriers and countless other outdoor spaces. Yardsafe also kills and repels fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, bed bugs, mites, chiggers, ants, flies, moths and many other pests. Yardsafe contains 15% cedar oil.

To use: Simply hook up the Hose End Sprayer directly to the bottle, then attach it to the hose and begin spraying. Avoid applications during peak sun hours, early morning or late evening is best.

HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

Yardsafe is simply a ready-to-use, pre-diluted version of all natural PCO Choice outdoor concentrate. PCO contains 85% cedar oil; Yardsafe contains 15% cedar oil.

WHO SHOULD BUY PCO CHOICE?

Generally those with larger yards or agricultural land choose PCO Choice because it’s concentrated, meaning it will treat considerably more outdoor space than the same amount of Yardsafe (1 quart of PCO covers approximately 1 acre of 40,000 sq. ft.). PCO is also customizable, allowing customers to dilute the solution to whatever concentration they prefer.

WHO SHOULD BUY YARDSAFE?

Those looking for a convenient and quick solution to outdoor pest control. While PCO Choice will cover more ground because it’s a concentrate, Yardsafe is easier to use, with no need to dilute (1 quart of Yardsafe covers approximately 1/8 acre or 5,000 sq. ft.).
