Cedarcide Extra- Strength Tickshield | Deep Woods Cedar Oil Tick & Mosquito Repellent Spray Kills & Repels Ticks, Fleas, Chiggers and Mosquitoes| For People & Pets | Natural Essential Oils | Quart

We live in a wooded area and always mist this on clothes & exposed skin before going outside in the yard/garden. The “tickshield” is the same as their basic line, just with a higher concentration of cedar oil. Smells nice like cedar. It can feel a little oily on the skin at first but absorbs after a while. It does a decent job thwarting most bugs as long as you keep reapplying it (black flies don’t seem to be phased). Anecdotally it does seem to be effective against ticks - we haven’t gotten any ticks on us while wearing it, but a worker who was in our yard for just a few minutes without any bug spray pulled two ticks off of himself. The bottle arrived with a screw cap on and the sprayer separate, inside a zip lock type bag, but it did leak a little - thankfully not too much. Would have been nice if the screw cap was sealed with plastic to prevent leaking.

Strong smell but has worked great!

We have two Australian Shepherds & live in a rural mountain area with lots of trees. I spray this on them every 3-4 days during warm weather. We also use it on ourselves when outside & all I can say is, it works extremely well. Our dogs are tick & flea free & they are not on any oral meds or topical chemical treatment for flea/tick prevention. We use cedar chips in our fenced dog area & between this Cedarcide spray & the cedar chips in yard, neither of them have had one tick or flea. It also repels mosquitoes very well. Highly recommend!

If you love cedar then the smell is great! Scent lasts all day and even through washes. My son ended up with Alpha Gal so we spray this on his clothing for hikes, and it seems to work! We other precautions too so can’t say whether it is a 100% preventative.

I got this hoping it would help keep the fleas off of my dog after a flea bath, but it doesn't seem to bother any of the fleas that are already on her. They dislike freshly-applied Cedarcide, but don't die or jump off. I'll have to try applying Cedarcide immediately after a flea bath. To my understanding, cedar oil is not toxic to fleas, but may contain compounds that make it difficult for fleas to find their victims. I have tried Cedarcide on fire ants and roaches, and it did kill them. If you get some Cedarcide for fleas and it doesn't work, you could always use it to deodorize old rugs, freshen laundry, and probably repel ticks and mosquitoes. Just beware that it is a little oily until dry, and has a very strong smell that is rather overwhelming for pets.

I REALLY like this stuff. Summer in vermont- no see ums, mosquitoes, ticks, deer flies, horses flies….i spray this on myself and my black lab and walk a couple miles back and forth into the woods. They don’t even bother us. Quality product

This does not kill ticks! Much less repell them! I live in the country and I have bird dogs. This claims to repell and kill ticks. Nope that's not the case it kill fleas.. pisses off your dog and leaves the ticks thriving.

So far I like it very much. I sprayed lightly on my dog when she was getting bombarded by biting flies, and they stayed off her. Have also used it on my clothing (jeans, etc). Smells much better than off!
