"It doesn't smell like lemongrass, more like dirty socks (due to the heavy cedar undertones), and caused severe itching for my pup. I've decided to go with a different brand for personal big repellent spray, but I love Cedarcide's original formula for home use. And I still intend to invest in their lawn care line when I find my new house! Unfortunately, I just can't recommend this spray for personal/pet use."

No chemicals! My horses don’t
"No chemicals! My horses don’t mind being sprayed with cedarcide. I like the fact that when overspray gets on me it is not harmful. My one old Morgan mare will not let me spray her with anything else. This works as good as any and better than most. Diane"
"Not good for my plants. Ants were killed on contact, but more showed up the next day, fiesty!. Useful, but not the result i had hoped for. Still. . . I will try again."
Much Better Than The Old Smelly Sprays
"I really like this product. It smells good and repels bugs. Thanks Cedarcide!"
So far so good
"I bought the cedar oil to freshen up my cedar balls for my wool clothing. I have not done that yet as I had already done it recently with my other product that I had previously purchased that I did not like. I already know I like this one because the smell of this product is much better and the cedar smell is more of what I am familiar with. I did use it on a polywood chair on my patio that an animal was munching on in the evening. It seems to be working or just a coincidence. I never had a problem with animals chewing on my chairs before this spring. I didn't realize I bought the all-purpose kit, but am anxious to try the other products as the mosquitos love to bite me. They do have a good smell, not an overly chemical smell. So far, the cedar oil and bug sprays are just the right potency and the cedar oil is keeping the animals away from my chair. So these are what I am reviewing right now. :-) I will try to update later if this site allows."

Q&A
- I have invisible mites that were in cardboard boxes I had in storage for ten + years and recently brought into my house to sort through. Now I itch from these mites. I found out that they live on cardboard. Who knew. Anyhow I’ve used your wonderful original spray for ants and mosquitoes and fleas in the past and it worked great. My question is will it work for these mites, and if so, can I spray fabric furniture (upholstered sofa and chairs), mattresses, and clothing without fear of stains? I read that it’s ok for carpets. Many thanks for any help. Loie
- Hi Lole! Our sprays are designed to not stain any surfaces! So you can spray carpets, couches, bed sheets, counter tops, clothes, and more!
