Pets:

NOTE: MISUSE OF THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE PEOPLE AND ANIMALS TO COUGH.

Continue treating your pets and your home year round with CEDAR-AL cedar oil products to keep them pest free.

If you have pets living in your home, you may need to rid your home of fleas occasionally. Have you ever walked into your living room and suddenly had your ankles covered in biting fleas? That is how you know that a flea infestation has gotten out of hand in your carpet. You may be tempted to throw the pets outside forever. Before you do try these simple steps to rid your home of fleas and prevent a future flea infestation.

A flea infestation should be treated promptly because they can carry parasites such as tape worms. It is also advised to talk to your veterinarian after the home is rid of fleas about worming your pets.

Bathe your horse, dog, cat, or wash your own hair with our CEDAR-AL cedar oil pet shampoo to ward off insects. First wet hair or fur with warm water, and with a small amount of the shampoo, lather the hair or fur, making sure the suds penetrate to the skin. Keep soap away from eyes, mouth, and nose. For animals, shampoo the entire body, legs, and feet. Let stand for 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. For humans repeat as necessary; for animals repeat every two weeks or as necessary.

For our kitties we wash them with our pet shampoo, see Fluke's photo, our youngest, on the front of the website, and treat the house with the cedar oil spray.

Wait until your horse, dog, goat or cattle is thoroughly dry, then spray them lightly with the CEDAR-AL cedar oil in a well-ventilated area, being careful of the eyes, mouth, and nose. Rub the oil into the fur down to the skin of the entire body, legs, and feet. Repeat every two weeks or as necessary.

For dogs under 20lb SPRAY THE OIL LIGHTLY ON A CLOTH AND THEN RUB THE PET DOWN FROM NECK TO TAIL.

• Refresh your pets sleeping area, your car, barn and or anywhere else your pets hang out with CEDAR-AL cedar oil. Please read more in the Infestation article.
• For under your home's foundation, with a three gallon sprayer, apply the cedar spray directly undiluted with a panning movement (left to right) walking fast (make sure to wear a breathing mask and goggles, please read the safety study on our website under the animated dog) reapply every other month or as needed. After the third time you will only have to do it every four months as the product will start penetrating the wood or insulation and pests will never want to be near there. You should be able to notice a difference right away, most noticeable in about a month.
• Remove all trash, logs, boards, stones, bricks and other objects from around the home.
• Spray CEDAR-AL cedar oil on the tablecloth before you set the table when having barbeques, picnics, or dining outside to keep bees and mosquitoes away while you enjoy your meal.
• Before going hunting wash your clothes, in addition to the laundry soap, with 3oz of CEDAR-AL cedar oil and then bathe yourself with the CEDAR-AL cedar oil shampoo.

• Spray CEDAR-AL cedar oil in your pantry to keep bugs and moths away.

• Refresh your cat’s litter boxes by spraying CEDAR-AL cedar oil on or around the cat’s litter area.
• Spray CEDAR-AL cedar oil in wood boxes to eliminate mold and bad smell and in your cedar chest to keep the fresh aroma and the moths away.

If you will be using a pump lawn sprayer and applying it directly, dilute the cedar oil, 3 oz to 1 gallon water. Because there are different types of grass, we suggest that before applying it you test a small area first. Please note, it is not recommended to spray plants or flowers directly with the cedar spray.

If your horses roll all over after you bathe them with other shampoos, try our CEDAR-AL cedar oil shampoo and they will not dirty themselves after their shower.

General Use:

These are just some of the many ways our customers have shared how they use our products. Please contact us if you would like to add a suggestion.

The cleaning methods listed below can be used for any minor insect infestation, fleas, tics, bedbugs, spiders, etc, or prevention of one. A major infestation will, unfortunately, require a full chemical treatment but then a natural preventative solution, as listed below, can be used thereafter. Be sure to treat your pets as well as they are another vessel by which insects find their way into your home.

AGAIN: IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO CEDAR, DO NOT USE IT ON YOU!

The first control strategy for all insects is to modify the area surrounding a house.

For a specific insect problems, please refer to one of the articles listed in the category section on our home page

• Because insects come into homes from outdoors, a barrier with CEDAR-AL cedar oil should be applied around all of the doors and windows, the outside of the walls and perimeter of your property and the foundation underneath your home and out buildings. If you have any untreated wooden walls or floors, you can “paint” the cedar oil on these areas. Because rain and weather will affect the spray barrier, it will need to be re-applied every six months or as necessary.

• Since flea bombs only kill live fleas and don’t destroy flea eggs, during the cold and winter months keep insects out that want to come in from the cold, mainly SPIDERS, by spraying a natural and safe insect deterrent such as cedar oil along the moulding, on carpets, doorways, around windows, and anywhere inside of your house, being sure to ventilate when using CEDAR-AL cedar oil.

• Keep grass closely mowed near the home. Prune bushes and overhanging tree branches away from the house. Tree branches can provide a path to the roof for scorpions.
• Store garbage containers in a frame that allows them to rest above ground level.
• Never bring firewood inside the house unless it is placed directly on the fire.
• Install weather-stripping around loose fitting doors and windows (including the garage door).
• Plug weep holes in brick veneer homes with steel wool, pieces of nylon scouring pad or small squares of screen wire.
• Spray CEDAR-AL cedar oil along the base of all walls.
• Open all doors leading outside and spray the jam
• Using a rag, apply CEDAR-AL cedar oil around all windows that open
• It is vital that you find all cracks and openings in your walls and spray those as well.
• Examine all pipes, cabinet overhangs, and interiors (you'd be surprised what the contractors leave unfinished).
• Caulk around roof eaves, pipes and any other cracks into the home.
• Keep window screens in good repair. Make sure they fit tightly in the window frame.
• Wear protective clothing such as shoes or gloves when working outdoors.
• Check shoes; shake out clothing and equipment left outside prior to use.
• Do not overlook your garage as this tends to be a primary location where scorpions gain access into your home via entering the walls, A/C ducts, or via the garage access door.
• Spray CEDAR-AL cedar oil around kitchen garbage pails.
• Keep the dust mites and bed bugs OUT of your bed by spraying your pillows and bedding with CEDAR-AL cedar oil. Note: anything with down feathers in it encourages dust mites; it’s their second source of food besides you!
• Wash items in the washing machine that will fit and are machine washable such as bedding, furniture covers, throw pillows, stuffed toys, and rugs and add about 3 oz of cedar oil to the detergent. Items that can be dried in an electric dryer should be as the heat will kill any survivors. Spray cedar oil on a strip of cloth and drop it in the dryer when drying the clothes or air-fluffing them for added benefit.
• Spray items such as furniture and large stuffed animals that you cannot shampoo or launder with the cedar oil and mist anything you did not shampoo or launder.
• Refresh your Christmas tree with CEDAR-AL cedar oil! (turn the lights off first )

SHAKE WELL

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

To obtain the best results, vacuum the carpet or upholstery thoroughly to remove all loose dirt particles. For spot cleaning use our Triple Action Plus.

The approximate square footage 4 oz of our carpet shampoo, depending on the size of the cleaning machine you will use, see usage instructions below, will cover is 400 – 500 square feet or a LDH (living room, dining room, hallway).

It all depends upon how much the operator of the cleaning machine uses when they are cleaning. There are 12 oz in 1 bottle of our carpet shampoo, or enough for 4 applications when used with a machine with a 5 gallon tank.

We suggest not to over saturate your rug when cleaning as, with any kind of rug cleaning solution, it will leave a buildup resulting in re-soiling of your carpets faster. If you find that a heavy traffic area didn’t come quit as clean as you like the first time around, wait the minimum of one full day the best would be a week and then clean the area for a second time.

Please keep in mind that cleaning and treating your carpets with our cedar oil is only part of the battle. For best pest control we recommend to bathe your pets with our cedar oil pet shampoo and treat your home with our cedar oil spray year round, please read more about these products, the benefits of each (listed under each product) and how to use them, listed above.

For best results use an anti-foam emulsion to control excess sudsing. Put the anti-foam emulsion in the RECOVERY TANK not in with the cleaning solution. Always remove any remaining solution from equipment, clean and flush complete system with clear water. CEDAR-AL Cedar Oil Carpet Shampoo contains no harsh chemicals or alkalis which may leave deposits in your expensive equipment. CEDAR-AL Cedar Oil Carpet Shampoo is biodegradable and environmentally safe.

Fill your carpet shampooer with CEDAR-AL Cedar Oil Carpet Shampoo following your portable extractor machine, Hoover, Bissell, Commercial, etc, manufacture instructions. Fill the water reservoir as usual.

PORTABLE EXTRACTORS: (Hoover, Bissell, Commercial, etc.)
Mix 2-4 ounces, depending on the amount of cleaning required, of CEDAR-AL Cedar Oil Carpet Shampoo with 5 gallons of hot or cold water, OR for heavy cleaning and smaller cleaning tanks, add 2.5 ounces to 1 Gallon of water OR 1.25 ounces to a 1/2 Gallon of water, etc . If extractor is adjustable, set meter to lower quarter. Most machines will have to be set very low. If the metered CEDAR-AL Cedar Oil Carpet Shampoo solution is still too rich at your lowest setting, dilute, again with an equal part of water. Repeat adjustments until optimum cleaning results are obtained.

TRUCK MOUNTED EXTRACTORS:
To make a working concentrate: Add 1 quart of CEDAR-AL Cedar Oil Carpet Shampoo to 5 gallons of warm water. Adjust flow meter to the lower quarter of the range and test the cleaning ability. One quart should make approximately 450 gallons of working solution. Adjust meter until satisfied with cleaning results.

PRESPRAY:
Hydraforce, high pressure: Add 12 ounces per gallon of water.
Hydraforce, low pressure: Add 8 ounces per gallon of water.

Open your windows, turn on fans, and point them into the rooms you have shampooed so the carpet can dry faster and the concentrated cedar oil can ventilate. If you cannot open the windows, use fans and a dehumidifier. Please read Safety Study to understand why this step is important.

Vacuum the carpet thoroughly once it has dried completely overlapping each pass with the vacuum by at least two-inches.
