Does Tickshield work against all bugs?
Tickshield is third-party tested for fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, mites, chiggers, roaches, wasps, and scorpions. However, our products have been popular for a larger range of pests for over 20 years.
Is it safe to use on children and pets?
It sure is! Tickshield is non-toxic, family-safe, and pet-friendly when used as directed. Tickshield is only recommended for dogs over 20 lbs. For smaller dogs and cats, go with Cedarcide Original instead.
How often should I apply?
Apply before outdoor activities that could expose you or your pets to biting bugs. Reapply every 5–7 hours or after getting wet. See “Instructions” on the label for more details.
Can it be used outdoors as well as indoors?
While you can apply Tickshield to people and pets outdoors, as well as spray bugs directly on hard surfaces, Tickshield is not plant safe, so exercise caution when using it around grass or other greenery. For lawn protection, go with Outdoor Bug Control instead.
Is it eco-friendly and non-toxic?
Yes! Tickshield is non-toxic, family-safe, and safe for our planet, when used as directed.
What’s the difference between the cedarwood and lemongrass options?
Both are equally effective at controlling unwanted bugs, so it all depends on your scent preference. Cedarwood is classic and earthy (think cedar closet or chest) and lemongrass is brighter and more citrus-like.
Will it leave stains or residue on clothing or other surfaces?
No, Tickshield is designed to dry quickly and not stain. You can use it on clothing, fabrics, furniture, carpeting, and more. For delicate items, test on a small area first.
How long do Cedarcide products last?
As long as you store them in a cool, dry place out of sunlight and freezing temps, they should last approx. 2 years before slowly losing effectiveness. They never go bad or become harmful, they simply lose potency after 2 years.
For People: Spray onto skin and clothing every 5–7 hours or as needed. Use hands to apply to your face and avoid eyes and mouth.
For Dogs & Horses: Lightly mist coat, including underbelly, ears, and tail. Massage into their skin. Use hands to apply to their face, avoiding eyes and mouth. Apply every 2–4 days or more often as needed. Tickshield is not designed for animals under 20 lbs.
For Indoor Use: Spray bugs directly or apply weekly for prevention. Can be used on flooring, furniture, countertops, pet spaces, fabrics, and more.
For Gear: Mist backpacks, tents, hammocks, and more. Apply daily or as needed.

"Using Tickshield has helped me to avoid tick bites in our area. Very effective."
"Cedarcide is the best product ive found to repel bugs and tics."
"Quite simply, this spray works. We take our dogs off trail hiking and sometimes there will be 1 or 2 ticks walking on them and other times not even 1. The scent is pleasant and neither dog has any reaction to the spray whatsoever. I cannot recommend this more strongly!"
"We like that it’s smell is not overwhelming"
"I bought the original and the tickshield because I live in Texas and I can't be without this stuff. Well, I was outside with the dogs, I had just got done spraying all of us down,put the bottle on the table and it fell 😭 the sprayer part busted off and I lost over half the bottle. . This stuff isn't cheap so I definitely shed some tears over it. You're really missing out if you don't give it a shot. It's hands down the most effective product I've ever used for my dogs."
"The product was received quickly and well packed. It works extremely well on my clothes and garden shoes. I am very pleased to have found Cedarcide."
"This spray is awesome for indoor and outdoor bug Spray. I highly recommend it and will be purchasing again."
"Work fantastic. I spray my luggage with the lemongrass version when I travel and carry one of the small bottles with to keep the bedbugs at bay."
