FAQ
Does Outdoor Bug Control work against all bugs?
Outdoor Bug Control is third-party tested for fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, ants, mites, chiggers, Japanese beetles, roaches, wasps, and scorpions. However, our products have been popular for a larger range of pests for over 20 years.
How often should I apply?
For your first application each year, apply twice two weeks apart. Then just monthly after that. Repeat applications until freezing temps return.
Is it safe to use around pets and children?
Absolutely! Outdoor Bug Control is non-toxic, family-safe, and pet-friendly when used as directed. No downtime is required—people and pets can re-enter the lawn immediately after application.
Is it safe for pollinators like bees or butterflies?
Yes, Outdoor Bug Control will not deter bees or butterflies. For optimal results, follow the instructions, use as directed, and apply in the morning or evening when pollinators are less active.
Is Outdoor Bug Control the same thing as PCO Choice?
It sure is! We recently updated the name of PCO Choice to Outdoor Bug Control but it’s the same great lawn spray.
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.
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.
Instructions
1
Insert the straw into the hose-end sprayer lid and attach the lid to the hose. Set dial to OFF.
2
Pour 4 oz. Cedarcide Outdoor Bug Control into the hose-end sprayer reservoir and add 22 oz. warm water. Attach the reservoir to the lid and shake well.
3
Turn your hose to full pressure and switch the dial to ON. Spray your lawn and other vegetation using slow, even strokes (1 reservoir treats approx. 5,000 sq. ft. before emptying).
If this is your first application, repeat again in two weeks. Then, apply monthly or more often as needed. For best results, apply in the morning or evening.
If rain is expected in the next 24-48 hours, wait to apply Outdoor Bug Control until the weather has passed and the soil is mostly dry. Re-application after heavy rain may be necessary.

Reviews
Great product, worth the expense!
"We've used Cedarcide for a few years now and are sold on the product. Although the deer population is quite high, we haven't had problems with ticks in the summertime when we spray our lawn. Still, it is always important to be cautious and check for ticks after spending time in the garden."
Quality Product for bug control
"We have been using Cedarcide for several years to control ants ticks and fleas. Works as advertised and safe for our Danes and Mastiffs."

Cedarcide outdoor bug control
"Never disappoints!!! I spray the yards every month (it’s been raining alot) and haven’t seen one tick or mosquito. We are outside alot with the dogs. I use the tick shield for bug spray and on the dogs during prime tick season!!"
"This is a Fantastic product. I spray once a month in backyard and pool area and we don’t have bugs at all, it’s really amazing. Saved a fortune on exterminators."

Love!!
"I have be been looking for something new to control the variety of pests on our yard - this stuff is great! Last year I used a company that was tea tree + cedar (not as effective). The combo of the cedar outdoor spray + the ground up, not only smells great, but has worked great so far!"
Non toxic method for pest control

Just used today
"I just sprayed my yard today used half the bottle. I will use other half in two weeks"
Q&A
- HI! Is this harmful to frogs or snakes? I used a commercial service for mosquito and ticks but recently encountered a snake that was suffering due to the spray. I just cannot do that anymore! Hoping this is really just for insects?
- Hi there, Amy! Our products are just about the most gentle option you can use in your lawn. While I wouldn't advise spraying a reptile directly, you should not experience any issues with wildlife apart from unwanted bugs when using our products :)
- How long after application should I wait before mowing the lawn?
- I would just allow it to dry first, Tim :)
- Can this be used in a dewalt 20v back pack sprayer?
- Yes, and that makes it so much easier. Just mix 1-2oz of the concentrate per gallon of water!
- Can this be used on an overgrown area that will become a vegetable garden?
- Hi Hannah, yes, absolutely. Our spray will help them grow safely from the pests. It won't build up inside them. Just rinse the veggies before use. cedar oil does not taste good but washes away easily
- Do you have to remove mulch and or leaves from the area you are going to spray? I don't have grass, but I have soil covered with mulch and lots of leaves that have fallen from our trees.
- Hi, Jacky! You would not need to remove them and I would suggest leaving them there for the first two treatments to kill any hidden pests. After those 2 first sprayings, removing any unnecessary mulch and leaves would be strongly suggested, as they're some of the biggest bug attractants in our lawns. Pro tip: Many of our customers who decide to keep their mulch add in our bug-repelling granules to help protect those areas. For the very best results, we suggest using the granules and spray together, which is why we bundle them at a discount in our lawn kit here: https://cedarcide.com/products/lawn-garden-insect-treatment-kit?variant=42159478767836 We're also available at 800-842-1464 if you need anything else or have more questions :)
