Original Cedar Granules – Flea, Tick, Mosquito & Spider Repellent for Yard, Lawn, Patio & Garden – Outdoor Insect Control – for Use Around Pets, Kids & Family (8 lb Covers 3,500 sq ft)

We have a 45-lb dog who thinks the backyard is his kingdom—and who used to bring every flea in North Carolina inside with him. I spread one 8-lb bag of Cedarcide granules around the fence line, under the deck, and along our patio steps (took maybe 20 minutes with a handheld broadcast spreader). The cedar scent was strong at first—think freshly sharpened pencils—but mellowed to a light, woodsy smell by the next afternoon. Two weeks later the difference is obvious: no more scratching dog, zero flea bites on our ankles, and evening grill sessions are actually mosquito-free. I like that I can let our three-month-old roll around on a blanket without worrying about chemical residue, and the granules haven’t bothered the new grass seed I put down this spring. Small quirk: the bag doesn’t reseal, so if you’re only using part of it, have a zip-top or bucket ready. Also, apply on a calm day—the fine dust can blow around if it’s windy. All in, this stuff does exactly what it claims—natural, pet-safe pest control that actually works. I’m already planning to re-apply every couple of months through the summer to keep the yard bite-free.

We sprinkle this around the perimeter of our house in the front yard to deter bugs, works beautifully, no ants this year and hopefully scorpions stay away (knock on wood). Smells great. We have needed 2 bags over the course of several months so it lasts a long time. Easy to just open the bag and pour.

We had been using this around our home to help prevent yard pests, but wanted something safe. There is no strong smell. It has been effective.

Very easy to use. Not a strong cedar smell. I used after using a sprayer attached to hose & the yard was dry. Between the two products it seemed to help through the last couple of summer months In Houston. Price point could certainly be lower though. Not a very large bag for the price.

2 days after sprinkling it in the Ivy, mosquitos disappeared. No more bites! After I had ordered, I was told it would not work once mosquitos were established, that you had to also use it with a spray - which I didn't want to do, so planned to return it. Fortunately, I went on and tried it without the spray. (Maybe the mosquitos had not established yet) We are happy it works, and will apply it every few weeks through the height of mosquito season.

Smells great. Didn't help though

So I found this on the green genie and I started purchasing this and putting around my yard every 3 weeks. I started putting it around the house and yard out to the fence starting in December in South GA North Florida area. I was thinking it was working, there were only a few mosquitoes hanging out int heir normal areas and they seemed to leave when spreading the mulch. Now that we are officially in Spring the mosquitoes are back and are unaffected by this mulch. So I've spent $45-$50 four times for four applications and this stuff is not working. You can see in these pictures, the cedar mulch I applied a week ago is apparent in the picture on the brick and yet there are several mosquitoes just chilling above the mulch. I was hoping since a Florida nursery was praising this product it was the real thing, but they must be getting paid for advertising. Shame. $200 loss. Maybe it works up north but apparently not in south GA/North FL.

Omg I wish I had known about this sooner! We have a small backyard and a small garden but Everytime I went out there to work in it I'd get eaten up and constantly swatting at bugs flying around my face but NOT ANYMORE. I only used the granules and put them out in the evening so it wasnt so hot and when I went out this morning it was BUG FREE minus my pollinators. I am blown away and have been telling everyone I know about this stuff. It's also pet friendly! My dog has been rolling around the yard and hasnlt shown any issues. If you are thinking about buying this, DO IT! You will not be disappointed. I have this set up to come every 5 weeks.
