Cedar Oil for Tick Control?
Looking into natural repellents for ticks and stumbled upon Wondercide (cedar oil). Anyone have experience with cedar oil and its effectiveness in controlling ticks? Specifically looking to use it as a yard/perimeter spray.

Re: Cedar Oil for Tick Control?
Watching this thread with interest.
My problem is chiggers (both are arachnid family members, IIRC)
I put down cypress mulch inside a 4' x 100' footpath leading down to our freshwater lake and, darned if it is not appearing I may have unintentionally created a harbor place for ticks and chiggers!!!
Very interested in cedar oil OR ANYBESSENTIAL OIL anyone can share their experience with OP (and the rest of us!)
OP, I would be considering beneficial nematodes but for the fact nematodes attack subterranean pests and ticks (and chiggers) are not "in the soil." Bummer. I'd love to sock Beneficial nematode's on em!

Re: Cedar Oil for Tick Control?
Chiggers are most active when the weather is very warm and hence during such seasons, it is advisable to trim of the grass in the garden. Spraying a good insecticide all over the garden might destruct the area. Be careful to cover every part of the skin when you are going to spray.
