I've seen the cedarcide mentioned a bit on here. What I read on their site sounds so wonderful.
http://www.cedarcidestore.com/releases/release/3365525/17676.htmesp with little preemies and 2 y/o here! I don't know if the nasty bb's or all the chemicals bother me more.
Anyone invest in this stuff yet? Can it really be the answer?????

Seems like it. Kills on contact, like a lot of things. Does nothing to bugs hiding (like a lot of things).

:( that's what I was afraid of. I did send an email question about this and other questions. haven't heard back yet. I did specificaly ask if it's a contact killer.
If that's all it does, I'm sure I could just spray any visible bugs with lysol or even just squish (yuck!) them! LOL. Not much help.I wonder why they list it as "long term protect":

A relative recently sent me a link to that site telling me to try it and here is what I said:
Well, I'm having doubts already since when you click on their link "CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE NATIONAL RATINGS FOR BED BUG CONTROL SOLUTIONS"
it takes you to a website that was obviously created to push their product. Seriously, read the reviews, they bash on all the other products except the cedarcide stuff, and never provide any type of ranking methodology or testing. It also has typos all over the place. It's totally bogus.
also: "BEST YET is rated the number one Flea, Bed Bug and Insect killer as published in the recent Neilson Organic Ratings Insect Control Review"
googling "neison organic ratings" or any meaningful combination of those words yeilds no information other than cedarcide pushing their product.they also recommend "fogging" for bedbugs which every single reputable source i have read says is a terrible idea and will make the problem worse.

They are on drugs!
Don't have the time to analyze all the stuff but 2 items I know.
They list all that stuff kills eggs BS Sterifab doesn't nor does Diatect. Nothing I know of in a bottle or jar kills eggs 100%.
Diatect is a DE and pyrethoid mixture that the 'roids poison in the short term and the DE does the DE long term thang. Yet these clowns say it has no long term effect. It is 80% DE fer Pete's sake.
It isn't a "kills on contact" product. OK let's play lawyer where they have to "contact" anything other than fumigants to get poisoned so really you can split hairs and say any pesticide is a "contact" killer. F that! Kills on contact means the product hits the bug it keels over dead as a stick. It doesn't walk away and die later.

spideyjg I'm pretty certain that chart is a figment of the imagination of the charlatan pushing cedarcide
I checked the domain registry, and it was registered in a manner to conceal who actually purchased it. Red flag if there ever was one.

BTW, cedar has long been used against moths, albeit as a repellant.

My dad grew up on a farm, and told me they used cedar for fenceposts and bugs wouldn't touch it. I wonder if it repels bedbugs as well? If so, I'm building my bedroom out of it

It may be an effective contact killer. But as you note, contact killers are a dime a dozen.
I would like to see actual test data prooving it is more than a contact killer. I have corresponded with the rep on this and they could not provide peer reviewed data on this at the time. I am completely open to reading such data when/if it becomes available, and others here including entomologists have previously stated the same.
