Cedarcide

Cedarcide runs a pest control product business from Lewisville, Texas. They produce and sell cedar oil sprays along with granules that homeowners apply themselves to yards, indoor spaces, pets, and personal clothing. Reviewers describe buying the original bug spray, PCO choice yard spray, Tickshield, cedar pellets, and Cedarshield for direct use on fleas, ants, mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, chiggers, and carpenter ants.

Customers report cutting mosquito numbers around their bodies from over a hundred down to a handful after one outdoor application, along with zero ticks found afterward. Others note fewer bites on children after yard granules and fewer fleas on dogs when the spray is used weekly. Several mention success against ants near log cabins and berry plants while keeping the treatment away from wildlife.

Reviewers point out fast shipping and quick replies to messages, plus replacements sent right away for broken spray caps or tops. The products cost more than basic options and some users say a gallon does not store well past a year before it thickens. Service covers central Texas buyers who pick up at local stores or order direct, with no set hours listed beyond standard business contact.

The business shows a high Google rating backed by hundreds of reviews that keep returning to the same points of solid results on insects, safety around pets and kids, and a noticeable cedar smell. One buyer mentioned a shipping mix-up with a fogging kit, while another saw beetles return after several months on treated wood. DIRT Score 4.8 from reviews on Finds.

“Love the Bug Spray & Repellent. It smells so good and works well everywhere I spray it, on myself, along windows, on my dogs legs. I am very impressed and I can't express how thrilled I am to have a safe spray for around my home that smells SO GOOD. Even my dogs like the smell and are happy to get coated before going outside. If you are one of few who don't like the smell of ceder, this wouldn't be the best option for you. But I recommend Cedarcide to everyone I know because I love it so much. "Best Bug Spray on the Planet" is a fact, not just part of the label.”

“My first application of Cedarcide Outdoor Bug Control and I can already tell it's working!!! Went from 150 mosquitos around me to maybe 3 or 4, and from 4 to 6 ticks per week on me to zero ticks so far!!! I'm about to put the second application down next week and so far it has knocked a dent if mosquitos and ticks and if only it would work on copperheads too because I killed one yesterday near my vegetable garden. I will update on how well Cedarcide works and I ordered some Tickshield to use while I'm working on my property, so I'm pleased so far. Thanks Cedarcide Team!!!”

“I ordered the Cedarwood Tickshield as a referral from a friend. I got out on the trail and saw that the spray cap didn’t work because it was completely chewed by my dog. I emailed the company and let them know I needed a new cap to use the product and they sent me a brand new bottle. What fantastic customer service! I was not expecting a new bottle. This spray is an effective, non-toxic pest control product, doing no harm to people and animals; it simply repels the pests. Highly recommend!”

“Cedarcide has been my favorite keep the bugs away product. A quick spritz before going out to work in my garden and the mosquitos and gnats don't even know that I'm there. Family safe and pet safe, it is a wonderful product! Plus, it smells great!!!”

“I learned about cedar oil to help keep insects away me while picking blueberries at a friend's house. That day forth I was sold on its effectiveness on protecting me. I also enjoy the smell while wearing it. The only negative I have is the cost. It's expensive but quality sometimes cost.”

“I use the PCO choice yard spray , the original cedarcide in my house to control ants and keep fleas off my dogs and the cedar granules around my fruit trees and berry plants . These are the BEST and most dependable products I have found that actually work and are pet and family friendly . THANKS CEDARCIDE !”

“I have been using this product for 10-13 years I normally purchase two gallons per year, but I think I'm going to back off due to the shelf life that I'm seeing here. It gets thick and doesn't spray after a year. Another consideration is they have rebranded the same product now 3 time since first purchase. The product works for fleas, and insects and I have recommended to people who had bed bugs, it also worked well for that. My only recommendation is to only order what you plan to use in the near future as it doesn't store well and at over $100. per gallon it's a costly issue.”

“I have been using their products for years! I love the PCO and Original bug spray and repellent! In my opinion because of the results it has had for me, it's the best on the market. Although it maybe a little pricey to some it's well worth it! Not only does it get the job done, it smells great too. I use it indoors, outdoors, on my animals and myself. If your skeptical about buying a product like this you have never tried, don't think anymore and just buy it! I can say it will get the job done quick and Im sure you will love it! I give these products 5 big booms!”

“Very disappointed! I paid $400 for a fogging kit with 1 gallon of spray, and only received the spray. I spent $400 on only 1 gallon of spray that I cannot use. Thanks for taking my hard earned money Cedarcide!”

“I have used their cedar pellets for my yard and noticed a significant difference in my kids getting bites along with less of those gnats. I decided to try the cedar oil as a repellent and sprayed it on my kids recently and noticed also a significant difference. It definitely helps. Really glad to have this as an alternative to the toxic spray that we usually have to try.”

“This is an update for Cedarshield: As of this past winter the bugs started boring their way back out, again. Now, 5/5/2026 they are at it full force. I'm very disappointed :( I purchased a piece of furniture made of an unknown wood species that had powderpost beetles boring their way out from inside the wood. I researched and found Cedarshield to be the best option to seal the furniture. I applied 2 coats, some spots three and after 3 days I've had one beetle bore it's way out. I couldn't move the heavy desk outdoors myself so I had to seal it inside and unfortunately the odor is still lingering. I'm waiting a bit longer before applying more Cedarshield because of the odor with the hopes that it was the last living beetle in the wood. You know they're powderpost beetles by the pile of sawdust/excrement that's left in a pile and a pinhole is visible when you wipe away the pollen-looking pile. If it weren't for the strong odor and the beetle that recently escaped I would have rated it 5 stars. I used about 1/3 of the gallon. Photos are of the bugs and "dust" I swept out of the drawers. Follow-up: It's been about another week, a few tried boring their way out but you can tell t”

“Cedarcide is great at keeping the ants at bay. The smell is fine and it’s harmless to my pets. I don’t know what I would do without it.”

“Great company, great service, and great people! We’ve been loyal customers for many years, and they consistently go above and beyond to support us and provide outstanding customer service. Mosquinators Inc. is always grateful for your business!”

“We returned from vacation to find our front yard had been invaded by "chiggars " I didn't want to spray poison where we like to sit and enjoy the space. I Googled natural lawn treatment and learned that our local Tractor's Supply carries Cedarcide. We loved the scent. We put it down, cut the grass short then repeated that 10 days later. Yay! Now we can enjoy our front yard chigger-free! Effective without poison!”

“I wish I could give Cedarcide 🌟 10 stars, When we used a mosquito control service it was only 90% effective at best. .. Now that I am taking control of the mosquito control service myself we have a 99.999% effectiveness rating , And a Much Much happier wife that can actually go outside instead of hiding in house and/or having to cover herself in mosquito repellent to venture out of the house. With a bonus effect of a reduction in the ant hills of approximately 95% so far.”

“These are great products. I applied it to my yard and I have noticed very few if any bugs. So far this is the best that I have used.”

“We’ve been using the cedar granules around our log cabin to deter carpenter ants for years. It works and doesn’t harm all the wildlife in our yard.”

“I'm in central Texas. High humidity all summer is a flea's dream for mass breeding. Tried everything to try and give my dog some relief- nothing worked very well and just about all methods were actually toxic to dogs. SO glad I found Cedarcide original bug spray. Works great! I buy it by the gallon. PROBLEM is OVER! Very happy! Shipping is fast and they return messages promptly. I'm not impressed with many companies but I am with this one. A+”

“Great product! Something that’s safe around pets and loved ones , I knew I had to try it! Best stuff I’ve ever used, and it smells great! What more can you ask for? I hope they get into Costco or Home Depot soon!”

“This company has always had excellent customer service. My spray bottle top arrived broken, and the representative resent another one immediately. Stellar service! The original bug spray has been a lifesaver. I use it for general pest control, both indoor and outdoor. And I also spray my cats weekly with it so far they have not had any type of reactions and it’s great at repel fleas and ticks. I even use it on myself while getting the clover mite issue under control. Landscaping used infested mulch and fertilizer and left the front door open. Perfect opening for mites, lol. I love that it’s safe and effective. I also got the granular as well and put them outside around the perimeter of my house to deter mites, flea and ants. This is such a great cost-effective and sustainable pest control product. I can’t recommend this company enough!!!”
