Cedarcide Extra- Strength Tickshield | Deep Woods Cedar Oil Tick & Mosquito Repellent Spray Kills & Repels Ticks, Fleas, Chiggers and Mosquitoes| For People & Pets | Natural Essential Oils | Quart

Seems to work well for ticks and mosquitoes and other biting bugs. It has a smell that isn’t unpleasant unless you hate a woody scent.

We have two Australian Shepherds & live in a rural mountain area with lots of trees. I spray this on them every 3-4 days during warm weather. We also use it on ourselves when outside & all I can say is, it works extremely well. Our dogs are tick & flea free & they are not on any oral meds or topical chemical treatment for flea/tick prevention. We use cedar chips in our fenced dog area & between this Cedarcide spray & the cedar chips in yard, neither of them have had one tick or flea. It also repels mosquitoes very well. Highly recommend!

We live in a wooded area and always mist this on clothes & exposed skin before going outside in the yard/garden. The “tickshield” is the same as their basic line, just with a higher concentration of cedar oil. Smells nice like cedar. It can feel a little oily on the skin at first but absorbs after a while. It does a decent job thwarting most bugs as long as you keep reapplying it (black flies don’t seem to be phased). Anecdotally it does seem to be effective against ticks - we haven’t gotten any ticks on us while wearing it, but a worker who was in our yard for just a few minutes without any bug spray pulled two ticks off of himself. The bottle arrived with a screw cap on and the sprayer separate, inside a zip lock type bag, but it did leak a little - thankfully not too much. Would have been nice if the screw cap was sealed with plastic to prevent leaking.

If you love cedar then the smell is great! Scent lasts all day and even through washes. My son ended up with Alpha Gal so we spray this on his clothing for hikes, and it seems to work! We other precautions too so can’t say whether it is a 100% preventative.

While I’m not a fan of the cedar wood smell, the dog’s certainly don’t mind. We walk in wooded areas often and it Seems to keep the fleas n mosquitoes away. I’ve used it on my clothing and it does keep the pesty insects off me. I’d rather it smell like Chanel but this is what’s repelling them. It’s more of a natural smell than some of the leading repellents out there.

So far I like it very much. I sprayed lightly on my dog when she was getting bombarded by biting flies, and they stayed off her. Have also used it on my clothing (jeans, etc). Smells much better than off!

Trying to decide if this is a case of false advertising. Under Top Highlights - About this item: the information stated that it contained: POWERFUL CEDAR & LEMONGRASS FORMULA. In the comparison it listed the that the Tickshield Extra-Strength Bug Spray contained Cedarwood OR Lemongrass When received the label only listed Cedarwood 20% and Inert ingredents 80%. with no mention of Lemongrass. Is there a product that has both Cedarwood AND Lemongrass?

Works! A great alternative to chemical based bug repellent.
