I have the cedar product, but it's from a company called Cedarcide.....

I love the little 4oz. canisters. I have two of them....I always have one at my side when I do a flea check on the boys. If I see a flea I just give it a quick spray, once is good, the flea is dead in about 10 seconds. No more trying to pick the flea off and loosing the bugger in his fur or it would end up jumping away.....No more of that.....

Some one here also posted this site, I haven't tried it yet but I will, eventually....

The cedar products are temporary when you spray it on the pet. It evaporated over time and has to be reapplied. I like it for the "spot on" killing the best........Be warned it does have a strong cedar smell. Two of my dogs tolerate it but are not thrilled but the third one hates it.........

This link has some tips for killing fleas naturally....

Flea Control: Organic Beats Toxic! Cheaper Too!

What do you use, in your yard, and what do you use to spread it? I have one of those walk behind spreaders...Diatemaceous Earth (food grade) sounds good, if I knew what ratio to apply it?
