Insect-Repelling Cedar Granules

By far one of my favorite purchases. Worked amazing for repelling mosquitoes from the yard! Used one bag last summer and still have a bag for this year. Smells amazing. Safe for kids and dog. Natural product. Easy to use. I just sprinkled it around with my hand. Great value for how much I got. I ordered two bags at once. Worked for my entire condo yard space. Quantity was perfect for testing it and having another bag for this year!

Your yard is now safe for pets and kids, so you can let your dog roll in the grass without worrying about him coming in looking like he’s been hanging out with the flea circus.

CONS: • The scent might be a little strong for people who think their house should smell like nothing. But really, those people can’t be trusted anyway. • It’s a granule, so if you have a very fluffy pet or a wild kid, they might track it inside. But hey, they’ll probably get distracted by how good it smells anyway. At the end of the day, Cedarcide Lawn, Home & Garden Cedar Granules is the pest control solution you’ve been waiting for.

I love knowing that this is safe for my pets while repelling bugs. And when I step outside it smells so good nothing like chemical sprays. I wish it wasn't so pricey.

The CedarCide granules look very nice, and are keeping most pests off my tomatoes, at least all the crawling ones. CedarCide also seems to reduce blight and fungus. Last year I fought a losing battle. This year, I put down an even half inch of CedarCide, covering the entire garden bed where I am growing tomatoes and squash. In my flower bed, where I did not have CedarCide, I lost some young nasturtiums and petunias. There are actual bites taken out of them! I have since added the cedar as top layer, but I'm afraid the nasturtiums and my herbs are also being eaten by flying critters such as cabbage moth caterpillers. Also, obnoxious black gnats appeared on the tomato stems. My solution to that was a DIY pest and fungus spray: 2 TBSP CedarCide granules, 2 tsp tea tree oil, 2 tsp Dr. Bronner's Sals Suds, 1 peeled garlic clove, SHAKEN in a gallon of water and thoroughly applied with a sprayer. The flowers and herbs don't mind it, the tomatoes and squash seem happier. They are getting enormous. UPDATE, LATE SUMMER, 2016 I lost every squash vine to vine borers. The cedar granules did nothing to keep the moths away or prevent the eggs from hatching. I also used neem oil, to no effect. Those vine borers are horrible. Healthy vines shrivelled to gray rags in 24 hours. Unfortunately, Cedarcide doesn't seem to work against anything airborne. It's supposed to repel mosquitoes, too, but certainly doesn't keep them off me! I got bitten every time I worked in the garden. It's scary, because my area of Queens is the exact center of West Nile virus contagion in New York. I've aleady been sick with the symptoms. But it was really helpful with cutting down fungus and mildew, especially when the rain back-splashed the tomato and pepper leaves. UPDATE June 2017 This year, I am putting Cedarcide around my first strawberry and melon plants. Never tried to grow fruit before. I am now using Cedarcide to correct a BAD mistake. I had put down cocoa hulls as a mulch, because reviewers talked about how nice it smells. Unfortunately, it encourages, and even feeds funguses of all kinds — white mold, gray mold, toadstools — and inhibited the growth of ALL my plants! I had planted robust little tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, melons, nasturtiums, impatiens, and for a solid month they just sat there, drooping, no new leaves, some starting to die. The strawberries got moldy. It's been horrible. I wanted to cry. So ten days ago I decided to pull away the cocoa hulls and put down Cedarcide granules. Suddenly, the little guys are standing taller, putting out new leaves, and the strawberries even put out a few flowers. In ten days! I assume the Cedarcide is killing off the mold! And here's one more use: I just bought fine-mesh lingerie bags with zippers, for laundry — and I am filling them with Cedarcide and putting them in the closet where the winter coats and wool sweaters usually make a nice buffet for the moths. In an enclosed space, it smells quite strong; I am pretty sure I can say good-bye to the moths! (Good-bye, moths.)

We can sit outside bug free. I used our seed/fertilizer spreader to put it on the backyard lawn and now the dog can sit, play or nap in comfort. He isn't twitching his ears or snapping at the gnats flying around him. It smells great too. It's easy to use and not harmful to us or pets.Our GSD was scratching all the time and we thought it was allergies. Since using Cedarcide he isn't itchy and scratching because he's not bothered by bugs biting him. I've used it around my garden plants too. It's not anymore expensive than fertilizer or grass seed. It's good quality cedar, nothing else in it. So far it's been effective keeping all the annoying bugs away. We like it so well we have shared our experience with several other people with the same issues.

Seems to be very effective, but must be reapplied after every rain. At its current price point ($35 to $40 a bag for a 3500sf area), I will be testing cedar mulch's effectiveness at tick control. Really love the smell and the safety aspects.

Smells good. Easy to use. Still got holes in my Hostas. Apparently there is another step you have to use.

And how do you return this when you have nothing to return? Doesn't do a darn thing. I have ticks all over the place still!!
