Protect your family and pets from biting, flying insects, infestations, and diseases carried by fleas and ticks! Your all natural flea and tick yard spray will keep nasty biting insects away from your family and your home with the power of Concentrated Cedar Oil. Mist onto houseplants to prevent mold, fungus, and gnats, too. Best of all: Yard Guard does not repel or harm beneficial insects or pollinators!
The organic cedar oil in our product work to both repel insects by aroma, and to destroy insects through its toxic effects on insect nervous systems. In the Yard Guard formula we blend fractionated Red Texas Cedar oil with an organic carrier called ethyl lactate. The ethyl lactate helps the cedar penetrate the insect’s shell and also to dissolve insect eggs, which prevents future generations from hatching. And, cedar oil is a natural fungicide, so regular use will help fight powdery mildew and other diseases in the lawn and garden.
You can apply Yard Guard all year long in the South where the temperatures do not go below 45°F, and in the North you can begin to apply in the very early spring to very late fall, up to when there is snow cover or temperatures are regularly below 45°F. If applying other lawn and garden products, be sure Yard Guard is the last product to go down for the day.
The best way to protect your property from unwanted pests is to build up a cedar presence in the whole yard before the problem begins. We recommend starting applications as soon as the insect population wakes up in your area after winter.
If using our hose-end sprayer, attach the nozzle to your garden hose. If using your own adjustable hose-end sprayer, set it to 1-2 oz Yard Guard per gallon of water. Stir or gently shake the bottle to handle any possible settling that might have occurred.
Turn Dial To On and spray everywhere you want safe, natural protection from insects. We recommend starting with the foundation walls and working your way out. This is a non-staining formula so be sure to spray it over (and under, in some cases) the deck, patio, walkways and outdoor furniture. It can even be sprayed on screens. It can be sprayed right on barn or stable walls and over animal bedding too (we don’t recommend using aroundchickens).
Treat the lawn and garden beds including bushes and trees. For very large trees soak at least the first 8 ft of trunk.
Soak any areas that have leaves or mulch on them as insects will hide or over-winter in these area. You will also want to treat any standing water, too, to help with mosquito control.
You need to soak the whole yard really, really well the first time. You should easily be able to get 3000-5000 sf coverage from the 1 quart bottle.
Spray the yard again once a week for the following 2 weeks. These repeat spraying will create a cedar barrier in the soil that will repel any unwanted insects from the area.
After you have sprayed 3 times you can continue spraying every 4 weeks.This should keep most insects and snakes from setting up home in your yard-especially in the soil. If you see any, simply apply again.
For Existing Infestations:
Simply apply more product over less area:
For above ground insects, use 1 qt of yard guard for up to 2500 sf
For sub-surface insects like grubs apply 1 quart per every 1000 sf
For Ant Mounds, drench the area outside of the mound first and then work your way in to the mound itself.
For Treating Smaller Areas:
For smaller areas, we recommend using a pump or trigger sprayer instead of the hose-end sprayer. Stir or gently shake the bottle to handle any possible settling that might have occurred, then mix 12 oz (1.5 cups) of Yard Guard per gallon of water.
This can be sprayed on garden plants, indoor plants, indoor insects, and even on pets. For dogs, just wet their fur and rub in well. Fleas and mites hate it, and dogs often find it soothing for hot spots. Keep away from their eyes, and rinse with water quickly if it should get on them. Spraying the dog before a walk around the neighborhood or even a walk in the woods will repel any lurking fleas or ticks.
For cats, you can spray on fur if they are docile enough. But might have better luck spraying on your hands or a towel and then rubbing it in.
TIP: Cedar loves water. If you can spray your yard after watering, or after a rain, the cedar will create a better barrier to insects.
Note: During hot and dry times of the year spray in the early morning or evening preferably when temps are under 80 degrees and do not spray plants that are wilted or under drought stress. Do not spray around exotic birds or rodent pets.
For flying insects like Japanese Beetles that come in from other yards to nibble on your plants, treat the foliage again as soon as you notice them. A good rain or watering will wash the product off the leaves so reapply as needed. You cannot over-apply this product. If mosquitoes are an issue, the aroma of cedar will confuse them, so spray lightly as often as needed to keep them away.
For Indoor Use:
Mix 1/4 cup YARD GUARD with water in a 1 quart spray bottle
Mist house plants, baseboards, and anywhere you’d like added protection from mold or insects.

The Science Behind The Magic
How Yard Guard Outdoor Insect Control Works
The Nature’s Lawn Difference
You Don’t Like Chemicals, We Don’t Like Chemicals, So Why Put Them In Your Soil?
Only apply Yard Guard last and after the other products have been watered in if you are going to apply it the same day as other products. It’s best to not apply anything else for 2 days after the Yard Guard has been applied.
You can apply it to the bare soil before the seed is put down if you have an existing insect infestation you are trying to combat, but it’s best not to apply Yard Guard to new seed.
Yard Guard is a stabilized product and should work well for at least five years after purchase, or more. There may be some separation of oils over time, but you can simple shake the bottle to re-mix before spraying.
You can apply Yard Guard all year long in the South where the temperatures do not go below 45°F, and in the North you can begin to apply in the very early spring to very late fall, up to when there is snow cover or temperatures are regularly below 45°F.
For now we are limited to quart and gallon sizes, but if you are interested in making a bulk purchase (20 gallons or more) please contact us for information on bulk, commercial, and wholesale pricing.
