Remember it is tic season


Found one on me. I'll be spraying Cedarcide around the house. Kills fleas and tics. Doesn't hurt birds, dogs, toads, or us etc.

PCO Choice — Organic Pesticide for your Lawn


Spray this concentrated formula in your yard to deter a variety of insects. Just like all of our products, it’s safe for people and pets.



The sprayer makes it so easy to do. We have been using this for years now.

Also keep trees and shrubs pruned off the ground and all organic material like leaf piles cleaned up along with rubbish and other areas where fleas and ticks can live.

I haven't found a single flea or tick on any of my dogs in over 20 years by just doing those things.

If you have a deck or some other type of crawlspace or area where they can get out of the sun that might be your problem. They could also be coming from neighbors' yards. If you feed your pets outdoors this may attract other animals that are bringing them in.
