Eco-Friendly Cedar Granules for Home Perimeter Defense| Safe for Children & Pets

Are you looking for a natural insect repellent that’s safe for your kids and pets? Say goodbye to chemical sprays and hello to a cleaner, greener solution: Eco-Friendly  Cedar Granules.  Perfect for home perimeter defense, cedar granules are gaining popularity for being non-toxic, biodegradable, and highly effective against a wide range of pests.

Let’s explore why they’re one of the best natural pest control options in the market, and how you can use them to keep your home bug-free and your family safe.

🌲 What Are Cedar Granules?

Cedar granules are small, natural wood chips derived from aromatic cedar trees. They’re infused with cedar wood oil, which is known for its insect-repelling properties. Cedar wood oil affects pests like:

  • Fleas
  • Ticks
  • Ants
  • Mosquitoes
  • Moths
  • Chiggers

Unlike chemical-based solutions, cedar granules don’t kill pests with poison; they disrupt their pheromone system, making your space inhospitable for insects without harming humans or animals.

Why Choose Cedar Granules Over Chemical Sprays?

Why Choose Cedar Granules: 

Chemical Repellents:

  • May contain DEET, pyrethroids, and organophosphates
  • Harmful to children, pets, pollinators, and soil
  • Leave behind sticky residue or unpleasant odors
  • Not suitable for organic gardens

Cedar Granules:

  • Non-toxic and biodegradable
  • Safe for dogs, cats, kids, and plants
  • Leave a fresh cedar wood scent
  • No harmful side effects or environmental damage

How Cedar Granules Work for Perimeter Defense

Cedar granules function as a natural barrier. When placed around your home, they release cedar oil vapor that repels pests before they can enter.

How to apply:

1. Spread a 3–6 inch barrier around:

  • House foundation
  • Patios and decks
  • Fences and garden beds
  • Doorways and windows

2. Reapply every 4–6 weeks or after heavy rainfall

Bonus Tip: Use a hand spreader for even application and better coverage.
