[nagdu] Cedarcide

[Julie J.]

I spray both Monty and Belle essentially the same.  I probably put more 
on Belle though, because she has more fur.  I spray them liberally, 
maybe 12 or so squirts over as much of their coat as is practical.  I 
then rub it in with my hands, making sure it gets worked down their 
legs, tail and ears.  I don't spray their head at all, but I do use what 
gets on my hands to delicately go over their head. I don't completely 
saturate their coats. I doubt that much of the spray gets worked all the 
way down to their skin, especially on Belle.  It doesn't seem to 
matter.  I think it is the smell that keeps the bugs away.

I generally spray them on the weekend because they are pretty strongly 
smelling of cedar for the first few hours.  I like the smell so it 
doesn't bother me at all.  I'm not sure that everyone else is quite so 
excited about the smell of cedar though.  I spray them once a week 
during bug season, and more frequently if they get wet because it will 
rinse off.

This year is going to be really bad with bugs.  I just today ordered the 
cedar stuff for the yard.  I'm hoping to make sitting on the back patio 
with the dogs a little more pleasant for everyone.  We'll see if the 
yard stuff works as well as the dog spray.
