Cedarcide Yard Spray — 

Cedarcide: I found the shipping and handling OUTRAGEOUS from the company, $38.00, so out of whack!  Product did not work for me and was very expensive, very very strong smelling, and not really that refreshing Cedar smell as implied. I am a very unhappy customer.  Product stated it came with a hose attachment for the gallon, it did not, product came with a spray bottle, yeah but it was empty.  Nowhere does it say it was just the stupid bottle!  It implies that you will receive a filled product.  Look at the BestYet set and see for yourself. Do you see anywhere that it says it is an empty bottle?  

The YardSafe product claims to kill ants, well it does not.  When I called the company they had this lame comment that it only kills certain types of ants and that I must have the type it doesn't kill, HUH?  Nowhere does it imply or state that only on certain ants will it work,  I would NOT have made the purchase.  Then if that was not enough, they say oh no you can't use that product (YardSafe) it is really too weak of a solution to kill ants, but we will sell you this product (PCO choice) and this will work.  Are you kidding me, I just spent over 150.00 on two stupid gallons of product. (Plus $38.00 dollars to ship it) It says right on the website about getting rid of ants.  They will not refund!  $50.00 + bucks down the drain.

Think twice about spending a bundle on these products, they have not proven to me that they work well enough to justify the ridiculously high prices, and I used the entire gallon of the YardSafe product to be sure it wasn't me. NOPE bugs everywhere!  :P  By the way my dogs and cats are still scratching all the time, you have to apply BestYet every other day, and my animals hate it, because the smell is so strong and somewhat repulsive.  Don't bother, there are much better organic non chemical products out there, that you don't have to mortgage your house to buy.

I suggest Shamrock1 or "Mr. Fix It" did not fully read the instruction's of use for the product or he would have read that yard safe is really only effective against mosquitoe's, snake's, and easier to kill insect's. When treating for ant's, tick's, flea's, it is necessary to use a more potent product such as PCO Choice as they dig into soil trying to escape the effect's of the cedar aroma. I would suggest that "Mr. Fix It" tryed to buy a less expensive product in order to save money and mix it to his own strength thinking it would have the same effect's and unfortunately that is not the case with these product's as they are all formulated differently. As for the Best Yet solution I suggest spraying the entire house thoroughly in order to actually kill all of the insect's in the home including the egg's otherwise they will just re-populate if you don't treat the entire house because if you dont kill them in the house and just spray the pet's yes they will keep coming back. You can not use you're pet's as a magnet for the flea's like they teach you when using the "Spot Drops" it does not make sense the approach they use making the insect bite the pet in order to kill them still get's the pet bitten by flea's, tick's etc. and isn't that what you are trying to stop from happening? I would suggest to fix you're ant problem and flea problem one product will work for outside use as it work's on any non-beneficial insect and that is PCO Choice with a Hose End Sprayer one qt., will cover about 1.5 acres as this is the product we suggest for outside use when treating for these particular insect's.
