Cedarcide Extra-Strength Tickshield Quart - Deep Woods Cedar Oil

In this review the Cedarcide Extra-Strength Tickshield quart is evaluated for outdoor enthusiasts, pet owners, and families seeking a plant-based alternative to conventional insecticides. The bottom line: it is a solid option when the priority is a natural, cedar-and-lemongrass formula that repels ticks, mosquitoes, fleas and chiggers while remaining safe enough for use around people and pets over 20lbs. The reviewer found it most compelling for regular walkers, backyard use, and pet treatments where synthetic chemicals are undesirable.

Key Features

• Plant-based formula: Uses cedar oil and lemongrass essential oils to provide insect-repelling power without synthetic pesticides.
• Broad coverage: Kills and repels ticks, mosquitoes, fleas and chiggers so one spray can handle multiple seasonal pests.
• Family- and pet-safe: Labeled for direct use on people and pets over 20lbs, making it practical for households with children and dogs.
• Durable protection: Customers report the spray lasts through evening walks and outdoor activities, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
• Proven performance: The brand notes over 20 years of lab and field testing, giving confidence in consistent real-world effectiveness.

Who It's For

Tickshield is aimed at outdoor recreational users, dog owners, and families who prefer natural essential oils over synthetic repellents. It works well for people who spend time in wooded or grassy areas and want a quart-sized supply for repeated household and pet use.

It is less suitable for someone who needs an immediate, chemical-based knockdown for heavy indoor infestations or for owners of pets under 20lbs who require veterinary-approved topical medications; in those cases a specialized veterinary product or professional treatment should be considered.
