What Goes Into a Bottle of Wondercide

Essential oils do the work in these formulas — geraniol and lemongrass oil in the aerosol can, and a choice of cedarwood, lemongrass, peppermint or rosemary in the sprays. Nothing is dyed, nothing carries a synthetic fragrance, and every product is lab-tested. All of it is made in the USA. Between them these bottles are meant for a dog's coat, the carpet the dog sleeps on, a kitchen baseboard, and a lawn children will be back on shortly.

Fleas and Ticks, Starting With the Pet

The Home and Pet Flea & Tick Spray goes directly on dogs and cats of all ages when used as directed, and it kills, repels and prevents fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. It also goes on bedding, furniture, carpets and household surfaces, which matters, because a flea problem lives in the room as much as on the animal and treating only one of the two restarts the cycle.

Scents and sizes: Lemongrass, Peppermint, Cedarwood and Rosemary, in 4 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz and a 128 oz gallon. Households re-treating through a whole season tend to end up on the gallon.

The Same Formula Idea, Pointed at the House

Indoor Pest Control for Home & Kitchen changes the target list: ants, roaches, fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, plus flies, moths, spiders and earwigs. It is safe for use around pets and family when used as directed, so kitchen surfaces, baseboards and the corners pests like are all fair game, and it comes in the same four scents, in 16 oz, 32 oz and gallon.

For something already in the air, the Indoor & Outdoor Mosquito & Flying Insect Spray is a plant-based aerosol built on geraniol and lemongrass oil. It kills mosquitoes, flies, ants, roaches, silverfish and black carpet beetles on contact, indoors or out, and comes as a single can or a two-pack. Fruit flies get a different answer: the Home & Kitchen Fruit Fly Traps arrive two to a pack, run up to 21 days each, and hold what they catch sealed inside, away from children and pets.

Wondercide Yard Spray That Screws Onto a Hose

Both ready-to-use outdoor bottles cover up to 5,000 sq ft of lawn, garden beds, patio and deck, with no mixing step in between. The Ready-to-Use Outdoor Flea, Tick & Mosquito Spray is the broader of the two and carries Spray & Play convenience, with no drying time required before anyone walks back onto the grass. The Ready-to-Use Outdoor Mosquito Repelling Spray narrows in on mosquitoes while still working on ants, ticks and fleas. Residue from both is safe for beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies, which is most of the argument for treating a yard with plant oils at all.

Larger properties: The Outdoor Flea & Tick Yard Spray Starter Kit pairs that hose-end sprayer with concentrate, and coverage scales with the concentrate size — up to 85,000 sq ft from the 128 oz. Refilling a sprayer you already own is how a full property gets treated every few weeks without buying a new bottle each time.
