Cedarcide Cedar Granules

Yes. Because the granules are made from 100% natural cedar chips without synthetic chemicals or pesticides, they are safe for use around children and pets.

Simply spread the granules evenly across your lawn, garden beds, or around the perimeter of your home. One 8-pound bag covers approximately 3,500 square feet, so you can use a broadcast spreader or apply by hand for smaller areas.

These granules are designed for both indoor and outdoor use. You can place them in areas where pests might enter, such as near entryways or in crawl spaces, though they are most commonly used to create a protective barrier around the home's exterior.

For consistent pest deterrence, you should reapply the granules every 4 to 6 weeks. You may need to apply them more frequently if you live in an area with heavy rainfall, which can accelerate the natural biodegradation process.

These granules act as a repellent rather than an insecticide. They work by disrupting the navigation and bodily functions of pests like ants, mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks, encouraging them to leave the area rather than killing them on contact.

The granules have a moderate, natural cedarwood aroma. While it is noticeable upon application, it is generally considered pleasant and will dissipate over time as the granules settle into the landscape.
