i spray every month - well, almost - like they recommend. i don't get cockroaches in the house anymore...i mean, not that i leave food lying around, but i leave the backdoor open at night, both to cool off the house and so my dog can go in and out. i know - i can install a doggy door, but whatever =) and i used to get flies and gnats daily...not a lot and again i don't leave food lying around. but now, hardly any, like 1 fly a month, and a gnat or two every couple weeks. really. i get the occasional spider but sometimes i forget to spray around the window air conditioners. i still see flies and stuff around my rotting oranges in the yard, and what my dog leaves behind, but i haven't seen swarms at all in my yard. you know, those gnat swarms hanging in midair? yeah, i haven't seen that at all for the past year that i've been using this cedarwood oil. fyi, i bought the cute package deal with the gizmos and pet and people spray. i'm a believer so i bought this gallon-size. i'll prolly buy more of the pet/people version later...it's great when we go out hiking - i luv the scent, my dog doesn't mind it, and i don't get itchy red bites =)

We love living in the lush Connecticut woods, but tick-borne illnesses (multiple lyme disease and multiple erlichiosis) made us afraid to go outside. ...only to find that our dogs would bring the ticks inside. Every year, someone got really sick. I hired Tick Ranger, they were vague (covered less than half the gardens), were inconsiderate of the gardens and were $200 per visit. (2 acres w/ 2,500 sq/ft of garden.) Oh, and they didn't put a dent in the ticks. So we tried Nature's Defender. We use a John Deere 45 gallon tow behind sprayer. (My tractor has an electric output) It can drop a 10' swath on each pass and it has an applicator that can shoot 30'. I spray every 4 weeks at a cost of $70 per application. The savings quickly pay for the sprayer. We spray a ten day follow up at the beginning of nymph season. OK, the results: Last year was the first in 8 years that no one got sick. Only 1 tick found on a person (nymph), hadn't bit. It is now VERY, VERY rare that we find a tick on a dog. BTW, fewer mosquitos as well. There is 0% doubt that this stuff works as advertised. You have to learn to "time the rain". A heavy rain will lower the impact this has.. So we spray when we're looking at some dry weather. Light rains are fine. After a gully washer you're much less protected. I find cedar oil hard to find. This company has always shipped promptly. Finally, I know this looks expensive. Be careful not to over use. Don't use more than they advise. Their ratio works well and is 62% cheaper than a commercial application. Did I mention that there is no poison??! We don't use any chemicals here. So it fits well. Finally, after truly suffering from tick borne illnesses, it's a lot of fun to spray the yard and imagine the ticks' exoskeletons evaporating. It's no fun being a tick around here! Friend to friend, if ticks are making your yard a nightmare, give this a try.
