Outside Treatment Recommendations

CedarCide.com formulates an all natural, green pesticide product called PCO Choice (Pest Control Operator's Choice) for exterior use. PCO Choice is a concentrate composed of 85% modified cedar oil and 15% Ethyl Lactate. Cedar oil is a natural essential oil that provides a pheromone interruption agent that impairs the insects mental capacity (fries their brain). When combined with Ethyl Lactate, a corn oil by-product, it becomes a bio solvent which is instrumental in triggering instant erosion and dehydration of the insect’s exoskeleton and subsequently, the egg and larvae.   

For every insect you see there are 99 more in egg and larvae stage. Exposure to a water solution spiked with cedar oil and ethyl lactate will destroy the egg and larvae stage, breaking the egg layer cycle and eliminating the next generation of insects.

PCO Choice in combination with large amounts of water sprayed from a hose end applicator that is supplied with the product will be instrumental in the demise of numerous non beneficial insects including but not limited to fleas, ticks, mites, mosquitoes, scorpions, beetles, mole crickets, grubs, chinch bugs and many others.  It has no effect on sight driven beneficial and pollinator insects such as butterflies or bee's. It will not hurt any of the amphibians or lizard family but will deter venomous snakes and rats from the treated areas.

 

I suggest you wash down the side of your structures working from the building outward. The first application is the most important and the objective is to make sure a liberal soak is accomplished to all areas including but not limited to the flower beds, shrubbery, grass and concrete areas and any standing water. 

 

Pour 4 ounces of the PCO concentrate into the cup of the hose end applicator provided with the product (cup has legend).  Fill to the 26 Ounce line with tap water. Attach to the water hose, turn the lever to on and initiate spraying.  Each cup of solution will dilute 20 gallons of water spray, when the cup is empty, refill the cup with another 4 ounces of PCO Choice and water then repeat as often as necessary to complete the initial soaking. This treatment is very inexpensive and will resolve many other insect issues such as aphids and scale on plants, powdery mildew and all of the normal lawn fungal problems grassy areas experience.

PCO Choice loves water so periodic rains will enhance its performance. Follow up applications should be conducted as required, depending on the local insect population your endeavor encompasses. If you follow this protocol, you can say goodbye to the fleas and any other pests you may have. 

Remember, an insect never travels more than 150 foot from where it was hatched, treatment of your sacred area and a 150 foot distance from the area will make an off limits area to pests that you can now enjoy.

Non-Residential Interior Building Spraying Recommendations

Using a hand held Atomizer (sprayer), preferably air compression in design, spray a mist of PCO Choice SOLUTION on all horizontal and vertical surfaces. Use a compression type sprayer to disperse a fine mist of solution spray to each and every square inch of horizontal floor surface including but not limited to the carpet, tile and wood floor areas. Spray the mop boards first and treat vertical surfaces at least 24 inches from the floor. Work backward from the farthest point of the room making sure a liberal amount of the solution is being applied to all areas. It is imperative that no area be left untreated. Spray the legs of all furniture and any lamp posts or other vertical supports. PCO Choice is a contact killer as well as a pheromone interruption agent. It is also a penetrant and will erode the insect egg and larvae by promoting de-hydration. 

Fill the CedarCide Fogger reservoir with a PCO Choice and water solution, use a mixture of 4 ounces PCO Choice per gallon of water. Use the adjustable VMD (volumetric mean diameter) to facilitate both dry and wet fog applications, the higher the setting the wetter the fog.
