Technical information:

PCO Choice is a concentrate composed of 85% modified cedar oil and 15% Corn Oil by-product called Ethyl Lactate. Cedar oil is a natural essential oil that provides a pheromone interruption agent that impairs the insects mental capacity (fries their brain). When combined with Ethyl Lactate, it becomes a bio solvent which is instrumental in triggering instant erosion and dehydration of the insect’s exoskeleton and subsequently, the egg and larvae.

For every insect you see there are 99 more in egg and larvae stage. Exposure to a water solution spiked with cedar oil and ethyl lactate will destroy the egg and larvae stage, breaking the egg layer cycle and eliminating the next generation of insects. It has no effect on sight driven beneficial and pollinator insects such as butterflies or bee's. It will not hurt any of the amphibians or lizard family but will deter venomous snakes and rats from the treated areas

Cedar oil loves water, so we suggest applying with a hose end sprayer for most outdoor applications. You can also apply with any type of pump/pressure sprayer.
