Wondercide - Flea, Tick & Mosquito Spray for Dogs, Cats, and Home - Tick Killer, Control, Prevention, Treatment - with Natural Essential Oils - Pet and Family Safe - Cedarwood 16 oz

I bought this spray because I wanted a safe option for my pets and my home, and I was honestly surprised by how well it works. The rosemary scent is pleasant and not too strong, and the best part is that it helps eliminate and prevent fleas, ticks, and even mosquitoes without using harsh chemicals. I used it on my dogs, their beds, and a few areas around the house, and within the first week I noticed a big difference. My pets didn’t show any irritation, and the environment felt much fresher and cleaner. I also love that it can be used daily and is safe for animals of all ages. Overall, it’s a practical, effective product with ingredients you can trust. I will definitely buy it again. Highly recommended!

**update after 1 year of use** : my dog attracted Lyme disease. I regret using natural product like this one. 1. you need to spray your dog with it every time they go out. 2. it does not kill ticks so any attachment of ticks that last more than 24 hours will expose your dog to Lyme. I no longer use this product and use Advantix II instead. It is no joke getting Lyme disease, my dog was sore at all joints and couldn't even walk. It was sad to see. Thank God Doxycycline works for my dog, but she continues to test positive for Lyme even she does not show any symptoms. Lyme bacteria is very hard to kill entirely. So whenever your dog is sick and immune system is down, the Lyme can make a come back. Again, don't buy this product and think you can get rid of ticks. It is useless against ticks. I really hate the smell - it is very strong when first applied, and it lingers for hours. I believe my dog hates it more as their noses are more sensitive. My dog always makes a run for it when I spray her down. Another downside is that you need to spray your dogs with it frequently, like daily. On the label, it says "use as needed for ongoing protection", and "safe for daily use". So, basically the manufacturer did not provide any evidence regarding how long the protection lasts after each use. As for the effectiveness, this product does drive away fleas. I saw with my own eyes that a flea jumped for its dear life after I sprayed and fluffed my dog's coat. The manufacturer said it kills fleas, flea eggs, and larvae, so I would trust that and you should change all beddings, covers, or anything you can throw into the washing machine if you spot a flea issue. Then continue to spray your dog with the product and any furniture they encounter for good measure. After all, you won't be able to see flea eggs and they are the root cause that your flea problem persists despite all efforts of eliminating adult fleas. As for ticks, I think this product is just as effective as topical tick prevention. First, most oral tick prevention requires the ticks to bite so they can die within 24 hours which is not enough time for them to transmit Lyme disease. Most topical tick prevention contains permethrin so it will prevent and repel tick attachment, but it is not 100%. I suspect the cedar oil smell in Wondercide will repel tick attachment, because I have never found a tick after using the spray that day (but not next day). But I am not 100% sure how cedar oil works on ticks. More science needed to be done. All I know is that ticks are harder to kill than fleas, but most diseases require the tick to attach for more than 48 hours. In other words, finding a slightly engorged (and likely dying) tick on your dog is mostly likely fine as it takes time for them to transmit disease. Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is that ticks prevention is harder to achieve with Wondercide, but it gives similar level of protection as compared to oral or topical treatment, without the harsh chemicals. As of now, Nov 2023, I was not able to find any better solutions than Wondercide for my dog. Cedar oil seems to be the least toxic solution so I am going to stick with it until something better comes along.

It works to kill out fleas but it’s has to be direct contact with them , my dog didn’t like the smell , I did sprayed his legs and a little on his tummy to prevent fleas attaching to him , it worked but he came back with dirt dust all over his legs , I guess you got to let it dry . I liked that Pleasant odor . It does get milder afterwards.

Wonderside: I wonder how I ever got along without this by my side. Wonderside. The best flea control, and killer. It, also, kills flies, as well as fleas, ticks, and mosquitos. Just a light spray on my pet stopped their scratching for weeks. My yard has dozens of stray cats going through it, so therefore, my yard has fleas. I just spray this skin safe spray lightly on my pant legs (bare legs in summer), and no more fleas being brought into my home. The spray bottle fits nicely in my hand for the trigger spray. There is no artificial color, so no staining furniture or clothing. Great value for the money. I keep this on hand all the time, and go through it like crazy during warmer weather. The fragrance is nice with the cedarwood being the most dominant of them all. Can't go wrong with this pest control.

First, let me say, I am an all-natural person. I hate chemicals and try to avoid them as much as possible. So I was extremely hopeful for this product to work and wanted to give it a 5-star. I know essential oils are powerful for other bugs, so why wouldn't this work for fleas on my pets? Well, here is my honest review. Pros: It smells nice (like essential oils and not chemicals). It is safe for you to use. I could put it in my hands, and it was safe for me to touch and for my pets to use. My smaller kitten is allowed to use it (that's what it says). It killed the fleas; the spray hit on contact. Cons: My pets are all afraid of being sprayed, so I had to use my hands to apply it. Any spots I missed, the fleas would just gather in that area and flee (no pun intended) from the areas with the spray. I have 4 dogs and 4 cats. To treat everyone in the house, my furniture, carpets, and pet bed would require A LOT of this stuff, and it is not cheap. I almost used the whole bottle in one day, and that was just spraying my couch and 5 out of 8 pets. 3 of my pets wouldn't let me apply it. The scent is extremely STRONG. We couldn't really be in the same room for a while and needed to ventilate the area. I wanted to spray my bed because I kept getting bitten by fleas, but my husband was against it because the smell is so strong, he wouldn't be able to sleep on the bed. While it killed the fleas it came in contact with, within 24 hours, fleas were crawling all over my pets again, like nothing ever happened. I know I have to treat the carpets and everything (which I did with another natural ingredient and then sprayed this over the carpet a few days later), but if this stuff is supposed to repel, it's not doing a great job. Needless to say, we are now trying diatomaceous earth, which is another all-natural alternative that I believe is going to work much better and hopefully will be much more cost-effective. I was going to buy this stuff for my yard, but seeing that it only is working for a few hours, I don't want to waste my money and have to figure something else out that will be more effective.
