CEDAR CIDE .com The stuff does NOT work! I wasted $117.00 and nothing. Still full of ants, sprayed directly on a tick and after an hr it was still ALIVE!! Internet

My name is Dr. Ben Oldag.  I read the report from Tennessee. It is unfortunate that the complaintant must exagerate the reality of the issue.  Nevertheless,CedarCide Industries, like any reputable insect control manufacturer makes no explicit guarantees of performance related to its products. We do not make claims of perpetual bug control. There exists no such magic in the insect control arena. We do however guarantee that CedarCide products will kill the bed bugs, fleas and other insects that directly come in contact with the solution. Thousands of gallons of this solution a day is used by prudent PCO folks and the Hospitality Industry.  CedarCide makes its product available in amounts as small as 4OZ. Customers are welcome to purchase a small amount for trial if they wish.

  Cedar Cide Industries does not offer a return policy or money back guarantee on their products. It is impossible for us to go home with every item we sell and subsequently we have no influence on the application procedure used by our customers. 

     Having said that, CedarCide has been formulating insect control products since 1992.  All of our products are laboratory tested and proven effective prior to being released for sale. I suggest from the test results, CedarCide Products exceed the performance of any parasite control formulation ever invented, enjoying a 100% mortality rate. It was rated the number one insect killer by Iowa State in the rigid testing being performed for the US Army.  Repeat applications are often required when infestations are present or a inadequate treatment of all areas is not administered properly.

    Thanks for using CedarCide Products. Thousands of folks successfully use our products and are elated with the results. I will be more than happy to create a dialog with you to help you solve any infestation issue you are experiencing. I have over 50 years of experience in this field.  Rest assured, the BEST YET and PCO Choice is killing the fleas and other insects.

These people must have taken courses on lying!  There stuff does nothing but empty you wallet!  As you will see by another complaint.  BBB rates them =F. they sell bogus products and tell bogus stories!!

I have used CedarCide's "Best Yet" product to control my dog's fleas since 2008.  Generally I spray him whenever he's scratching or biting at himself in a way that suggests fleas.  Often I just spot spray the local area he was chewing and rub it into his fur, so as not to waste the product.  If I think he has a more serious bout of fleas, I spray his entire body.  He doesn't like that but it kills the fleas.  Every once in awhile fleas get a foothold in someone's house, like recently my Dad's beach house that I was visiting a few months ago.  Tons of fleas at the beach.  Then I have used the commercial sprayer that I bought from CedarCide to spray all affected areas.  I've cleared 2 houses and 1 apartment in the past 4 years.  I'm about to add another house to the tally.  I came upon this website while searching for a local supplier of CedarCide, as upon finishing the treatment, I didn't have any product left.

My experience is that CedarCide "Best Yet" is an excellent contact killer.  Any insect that receives a direct blast will die in 90 seconds, including a cockroach.  However, I think it has no repellent value.  I've seen ants walk through areas that I just sprayed, and I didn't find it effective for repelling mosquitoes.  It's not going to clear out a nest of insects hiding in a wall unless you can get the spray directly into the nest in sufficient quantity.  That's hard to do, so if it fails to rid a home of bedbugs or cockroaches, that doesn't shock me.  I did kill a pile of bedbugs in a horrid old couch that a friend of mine was using.  The whole building was infested.  I really soaked that couch, every single surface I could get at, and they didn't see any bedbugs afterwards coming from the couch.  Previously they were getting bit all the time so I'm very confident it worked.  Of course, the bedbugs eventually just come again from somewhere else when the whole building is full of them.  CedarCide "Best Yet" can't repel ongoing armies of bugs.  You have to kill as many as you can in 1 application.  Then when you have more problems, you have to do it again.

Despite having to apply "Best Yet" over and over again, I think it is cost effective compared to the alternatives.  A gallon usually lasts us a year.  It would last longer if those occasional "big" removal jobs didn't come up, which tend to use a whole lot at once.  It isn't toxic like all the other products out there; that's the huge selling point and why I use it.  Also, sometimes fleas develop immunities to the conventional pesticides that everyone else is using.  I have a neighbor who seems to be suffering from that problem; the regular poisons just aren't doing the job anymore, even if she wanted to use them.

Some people find applying the stuff over and over again inconvenient.  But for me personally, non-toxic is a much higher priority, so I just do the work.  I wish it was cheaper and also easier to find at retail, but so far it's the only non-toxic game in town that I know works, so I use it.

I've never relied on Best Yet to control ticks.  I do that the old fashioned way, grooming my dog like a mother ape.  Even if it does kill ticks (I don't know, I imagine it would) I don't particularly want a dead tick hanging in my dog's skin.  Still need to remove them, and grooming is more cost effective than wasting the spray over his entire body.  If I've found a tick, why blast it to kill it?  I'd just pull it off and crush it with a spoon.
