During bad seasons, I've had pulled 10 off my pants from the short walk to the car from my front door in seconds. This stuff does kill them, and certainly helps to repel them. Also kills spiders, mosquitos, various smaller flying insects. The smaller the bug, the faster the kill. Small ticks and spiders are killed immediately. You can spray it directly on skin. It's great. |

I use the same amount for the mixture with water and it does not kill the fleas. I'm a dog walker and need to spray the interior of my truck and camper daily in case a client dog's flea meds aren't working, a or dog picks up a flea from the park. The cedar concentrate is a lighter amber than the older one I used. I am not sure if it's because letting the other bottle sit for over a year made it more potent or something changed. I guess i'll just have to wait a year and try it then. |

I ordered the products because the web site said they were Organic. I wanted a safe shampoo I could use on my dog to prevent fleas. I was a little concerned when i did not see a list of ingredients on their web site for their products, but I ordered them anyway and that was MY mistake! |

We specialize in Bedbugs, and find this is an invaluable part of our IPM approach to eliminating Bedbugs in residential properties. We have watched this company grow, and go through some growing pains, and come out smelling like cedar(which is much better than toxic pesticides. We combine this with a very modest application of Diatomaceous Earth. I realize that it doesn't work for everyone. However, there is no resistance buildup to this product. If there was a magic solution to the pest problem, everyone else would be out of business. That said, with the proper application(do NOT water this product down) and persistence, we have a 92% success rate in eliminating this most difficult of bugs to treat. It smells good and works. What else could you want from a pesticide? |

We live out in the country, and didn't want to use anything harmful to nature. After my husband spread the granules under the house, and around the perimeter of the house, we have not seen a single scorpion or spider inside. I don't think it kills them (no dead bodies), but they definitely don't like the smell! I am not sure how long this stuff will work, but if I start seeing scorpions again - I will know what to do! |

I have moved 4 times and have used this Cedarcide product for over a year with no results. This company refuses to reply to my requests as to why this product has done nothing to reduce mites. I have fogged my car over 50 times and apartment over 60 times with no reduction of the mite population over the year. All this product does is smell up the car and apartment with a cedar smell and leave a fine oil on the surfaces. The mite population actually increases and the biting increases with each application. I am disgusted with this company and it their products as advertised to kill mites should be banned and the company taken to court. Do not buy products from this company for the treatment of mites for it will do nothing and is a waste of time and money. This company lies on the phone and avoids all questions when you ask them how and why the products are not working on killing mites. Avoid these ripoff con artists. Cedarcide Best Yet treatment for mites is a ripoff and a scam. |

We were very upset to read reports on the internet that bed bugs are difficult if not impossible to get of. There are just so many places for them to hide, while they can remain alive in an almost dormant stage for months, not requiring the uptake of human blood. A through exam of the house had shown that they were alive and well in different stages, larvae through adult clusters in two of the bed rooms and a major infestation on the family room sofa, the one place this guest slept. |

I have tried numerous times to call the number on the ad which is the same phone number listed on their website.( I am very interested in natural flea control for my dogs.) I either get a fast busy signal, it rings and rings or get a message stating "the Sprint mailbox is full". Just not comfortable ordering from a company that cannot be contacted. They also do not have an email address listed either. |

When we first arrived at the motel we relaxed on the bed before going out to dinner and my wife got all itchy, nutsy about the bed. I had brought along a four oz. spritzer of Best Yet pesticide because of the bedbug scare that was ongoing at the time, never figuring I would ever use the stuff. |

I spent over an hour on their website reading about flea prevention/protection for my dog. So, I ordered a kit from them online, then had regrets over the price. I called and left a voicemail request to cancel my order. Within an hour, they responded to my request to cancel the order and reverse the credit card charge. Then, they processed my 'revised' order which gives me the opportunity to try their product without spending $$$ on an entire kit. My order will arrive early next week (order placed on Friday). I'll report the results in a couple of weeks from now... |

If they HAD to they jumped off the table and raced in to use the litter box or quickly to eat their food. They stayed above ground as much as possible. If I walked around sometimes I would have 5 or 6 fleas that I would tweezer off my feet or legs. It was horrible. I didn't want to use anything toxic and I found this product. Had to order on line. Couldn't find a pet store nearby that sold it. Vacuumed, Sprayed every inch of carpet. managed one shot at the cats. (They hated it) Apt smelled horrible. I knew it was working because if I walked onto the portion of carpet I sprayed, the number of fleas that jumped on me doubled. They obviously wanted out of there. I sprayed and sprayed. Didn't vacuum for 3 days. During the 3 days tried to mist the cats, had to sneak it on them while they slept. Still some fleas but not as many. Vacuumed. 4th day Sprayed again , Still some fleas. 5th day spot sprayed here and there. 6th day, cats staying on carpet a bit longer. 7th day spot sprayed, vacuumed. 8th day spot sprayed again. Finally by probably around the 10th or 11th day, I realized I had no more flea bites, cats were lying on the floor. Till this day, 4 weeks later I HAVE NO MORE FLEAS! Nothing else was used. |

Now oil kills fleas by mechanical interference with their breathing, and you can use baby oil for a lot less than cedercide - if you can tolerate an oily cat for a few hours - wash the cat and do not use motor oil. |
Neutral | bluangel (1 review) | On Jul 11, 2011, bluangel Los Angeles, CA wrote: Really, at this time I can only give Cedarcide a neutral rating because it really doesn't control the fleas like it claims. Within a day of washing my dog and applying the Cedarcide spray we found fleas on him. This, after washing him, his bedding, all blankets, outside bedding, etc. It does kill the fleas, but they come right back. Also, it makes his coat very greasy for a couple of days--not very attractive. I'm happy that it's non-toxic, but I wish it worked longer than a couple of days. I hate the fact that the spot-on drops were toxic to my animals, and I'm sad that I was duped into using them. Right now I feel I have no other recourse than to use the Cedarcide, but it isn't as effective as I think it should be, and it is expensive. Almost as expensive as the drops, because you have to use a lot more of it. |

After respraying once a week for several weeks, there were no more fleas. |

My nearly 2 year embarrassing, humiliating nightmare began Summer 2008 with a never-ending flea infestation - multiple bombs and sprays would not touch it. After 2 months I finally killed the fleas by dumping epsom salts on the floor of my rented camper a half mile from the beach. Invisible things were still jumping from the floor (not fleas, maybe collembola springtail mites, they live on fleas). My cat had bumps on her chin but wasn't scratching but she was in distress climbing as high as possible to escape the floor jumpers. |

All dogs have to do to get tape worms is eat ONE flea. I tried everything - much of it made Molly so sick. I felt as badly as she did. Then I found the Cedarcide company. I sprayed my house and yard - it didn't hurt anything. I sprayed her bedclothes and mine! No stains. In a few weeks - no fleas!! Now, Molly does NOT like it at all. I think it smells great. She disagrees. BUT it does not make her sick like the one-drop stuff the vet sold me; so I make her endure it, and we get rid of the fleas. I've noticed that when I work at our undeveloped farm land, using a walk -behind brush mower in high grass, I need that cedarcide on my clothing to keep ticks off me. If one does get on me, he's usually trying to crawl off. |

Found CedarCide.com and decided to give it a try. Safe, all natural. Kills on contact! Fleas instantly, ticks take a few minutes. There is little to no residual effect after 24 hours, so I have to spray her every night. I also spray her bedding. I used the "Best Yet" formula and I just ordered a gallon more. Smell is strong but very tolerable. I have not tried spraying the yard but I don't think it would get rid of pests outside for very long. It might not work as well for pets with long hair. You might have to really work it down to the skin, where the fleas are. |

After consulting the Vet, who could only recommend pesticides, I went on the Web and found this company. I was leary of ordering out of state and was worried "it was too good to be true" since I had no idea if it was bogus. I asked a zillion questions and the very polite sales person patiently answered. When I asked something else they asked if I would like to speak to Dr----(forgot the name) and he came right on and we had a good conversation including answers to my further questions. |

Frequently clients will bring dogs with a healthy crop of fleas and ticks to our business for boarding or grooming. The fleas and ticks die as soon as I spray them with Best Yet by Cedarcide. This product is an essential part of our business, we cannot afford to spread pests to other dogs in our care. And I do not like a toxic pesticide used in our business. |
Negative | g68 (1 review) | On Aug 5, 2009, g68 Edmond, OK wrote: My complaint is regarding Cedarcide's pestigator system, and more importantly the lack of customer response that I've received. I am actually one of five neighbors in Edmond, OK (Oklahoma City suburb) that purchased the pestigator units at the same time for our yards last May (2008). I had my professional yard company install the pestigator originally and it did not work right off the bat. We found that the backcheck valve was faulty and bought a new valve (on my own dime). We then found that we were going through the cedar oil concentrate way too fast and had to adjust the meter way below its lowest setting. I lost the whole summer last year tinkering with it. We winterized it before the winter came and when I went to start it up this year, we found another valve broken. So right now I feel like a sucker having spent $1400 for a piece of equipment that never has worked properly (not to mention the extra money for the valve and the labor for installation and maintenance by my local irrigation company). In addition, I’ve not had good customer service to date. I've been calling and trying to talk to someone for over two months now and have not heard back. If I’m not able to get some sort of positive feedback, then I’m just going to give up on the stuff after I go through what I’ve got manually. |

Now I’m in Jacksonville, Florida and I still use their products, successfully. I place an 8”-12” barrier of granules around my home annually and never have any ants, bugs or spiders inside. Amazing! In the spring when the yard starts jumping I use the PCO and that is the end of it. It keeps the snakes away also. We apply it monthly in Florida. I use the Best Yet on our persons as well as pets. The only issue with the Best Yet is when we are in the marsh areas and the no-see-ums and mosquitoes are heavy they still get in our face but they do not land on us so we do not get bit. I highly recommend these products. I wish I could afford their sprinkler system. |

I have one kitty, Grape, who is a tick magnet, I have seem him litterly covered with ticks of all shapes and sizes. I do not care to use the chemicals that are used in the making of the "spot" remedies, as I have been hearing a lot about the side effects, so i used to hand pick them off daily, quite a chore. So when I came across cedarcide, I was excited. I bought a quart bottle of their "BestYet" for people and pets. Well, being the sceptic that I am, I wasn't going to apply to anyone till I tested it. We have these huge (2") red wasps that you can not kill with a swatter, it only gets em' madder. One got into the house and I sprayed it one time with this stuff and that dude IMMEDIATLY fell to the floor and died! I was very amazed, as even the wasp poison doesn't do that good of a job! So my dear little Grape got all the ticks removed and sprayed him (it scared him, so I sprayed it on my hands then rubbed it in) with cedarcide. It didn't seem to make him annoyed (the smell) and although I have to reapply every other day, the ticks have FINALLY decided Grape isn't so tasty any more! I have seen no unusual side effects and I can tell Grape is a happy cat without the ticks eating him alive! So for a recommendation for ticks and big red waspsthat laugh at swatters, I give 2 thumbs up. Grape and I will continue buying and using cedarcide, as it works, and so far no adverse reactions for us personally. On April 16th, 2009, organicfrmr added the following: by the way, I read the summons from new york, and in the last paragraph they list the active ingredents: Based on Department staff’s civil penalty request, it can be reasonably inferred that the pesticides at issue in thisproceeding are general use pesticides.
