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.

I know that this product does not coagulate if mixed properly, that being said if the instructions are not read and you mix at a 1:1 ratio or just put Pure Cedar Oil in the Sprayer without adding water(sometimes people do this trying to make a stronger mixture than suggested by the manufacturer), then Yes it will coagulate. Some pet's are not used to new over whelming aroma's nausea would be a normal reaction to anything ingested that should not be and is foreign to the pet's diggestive system. As for the web site I apologize it is still under construction as we are growing fast as a company and have not had time to go back and re-sort through it all.
