FAQs:
What is Yard Patrol? How does Yard Patrol work?
Yard Patrol uses 100% pure organic cedarwood oil to repel pests. There are no fillers, just concentrated cedar oil that is safe for kids and pets, and not harmful to beneficial insects like bees and other pollinators.
Cedar oil disrupts insects’ senses, interfering with their pheromones and ability to detect hosts (aka you, your family, and your family dog!). They can also pull moisture from bodies and disrupt cell membranes, or coat the respiratory system of small insects, which helps to kill them before they get to your yard. Finally, cedar oil is toxic to certain insect eggs and larvae, helping reduce populations.
For grubs, cedar oil helps to break down and dissolve their protective outer layer and create an environment in the soil that is inhospitable for egg laying and grub development.
What insects does Yard Patrol work on?
Yard Patrol works on Mosquitoes, Ticks, Fleas, White Grubs, Mole Crickets, Armyworms, Billbugs, Cinchbugs, Cockroaches, Crickets, Cutworms, Earwigs, European Crane Flies, Grasshoppers, Leafhoppers, Millipedes, Pillbugs, Sowbugs, Sod Webworms, and other landscape pests
