We decided to try Cedarcide products to control a chigger problem in our small, well manicured back yard. After applying the PCO concentrate with a hose-end sprayer, spreading a couple bags of "granules" (which is actually just cedar sawdust) as well as spraying our two small dogs generously with the Best Yet spray, then repeating the abover regimens three additional times over the span of one week (with no rain fall), we STILL have chiggers and have seen no improvement at all. I might also add that even after spraying my legs until shiny wet with the Best Yet spray, two mosquitos landed on me and took a bite. We feel we just wasted $400 for something that does not work.
One other thing - when using the hose-end sprayer to apply the PCO to the yard, you have to be careful as the product tends to coagulate inside the sprayer. If you don't use he entire amount withing 30 minutes or so, it will coagulate to the point of clogging the inlet tube and you will then need to clean the entire sprayer.
One of our small dogs licked enough of the Best Yet oil off of himself after we sprayed him (I can't imagine, it must have tasted awful) that he vomited about 30 minutes later, and oddly enough, it looked coagulated just like the spray inside the sprayer.
We have been very disappointed, as we hoped this might be *the* answer to our chigger problem.
Lastly, the Cedarcide website is difficult to maneuver, and amateurish at best. It needs a complete overhaul.
Disappointed in Tennessee.
