What Is Wondercide?

A Smarter, Safer Way to
Protect Your NJ Yard

Wondercide is a plant-powered outdoor insect treatment made from cedar oil — a naturally occurring, effective pest deterrent that’s been used for centuries. Unlike synthetic chemical sprays, Wondercide works by disrupting the sensory receptors of insects, killing them on contact and repelling others from treated areas.

It’s effective against 100+ pest species at every stage of their life cycle — eggs, larvae, and adults — without the toxicity concerns associated with conventional pesticides. That means you get serious pest control without worrying about what your kids or pets are rolling around in.

What It Controls

Pests Killed & Repelled
by Wondercide in Your NJ Yard

Wondercide is effective against a broad spectrum of common NJ yard pests — especially those that pose risks to your dogs, cats, and family members spending time outdoors.

🦟

Mosquitoes

NJ’s most common warm-weather pest. Kills adult mosquitoes and disrupts breeding cycles in treated areas.

🕷️

Fleas

Kills fleas at all life stages — eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. Prevents reinfestation of treated yard zones.

🐛

Ticks

Repels and kills deer ticks, black-legged ticks, and dog ticks. Critical protection for dogs in Bergen & Passaic County.

🐜

Ants

Kills and deters fire ants, carpenter ants, and common yard ants from treated areas.

🦗

Crickets & Grasshoppers

Treats these common NJ lawn pests without harming the grass or surrounding ecosystem.

🪲

🕸️

Mites & Chiggers

🪰

Flies & Gnats

Reduces populations of biting flies, gnats, and other nuisance insects from outdoor areas.

How It Works

Plant-Powered Science
That Actually Works

Wondercide’s cedar oil formula works by disrupting an octopamine-dependent neuroreceptor that exists in insects but not in mammals or birds. This makes it highly effective against pest species while being completely non-toxic to pets, people, and beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

When applied to your lawn, it creates a treated barrier that kills insects on contact and continues repelling new arrivals as it remains active in the environment.

Cleanup FirstWondercide is applied after your regular dog waste removal visit — a clean yard ensures maximum coverage and effectiveness.

Treatment AppliedOur technician applies Wondercide across your lawn, garden beds, patio edges, and other target areas with consistent, even coverage.

Immediate Re-EntryUnlike chemical treatments, there is no re-entry waiting period. Your pets and children can return to the yard immediately after application.

Lasting ProtectionWondercide remains effective in your yard for 30+ days under normal conditions, providing ongoing pest deterrence between applications.

Who It’s For

Wondercide Is Especially Valuable For…

We recommend adding Wondercide to any plan if any of the following apply to your household or property in Bergen or Passaic County.

🐕

Dog Owners Who Hike or Walk Trails

Dogs that spend time in wooded or grassy NJ areas are highly exposed to ticks. Treating your yard creates a safe, tick-free zone for them to return to.

👶

Families with Young Children

Kids playing in the grass are at ground level with fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Wondercide creates a protected play area without any chemical concerns.

🌡️

NJ Summer Mosquito Season

Bergen and Passaic County summers are prime mosquito breeding season. Wondercide treatments keep your outdoor entertaining areas comfortable and bite-free.

🐈

Multi-Pet Households

More pets mean higher flea and tick exposure risk. Regular Wondercide treatments reduce the likelihood of infestations in high-activity pet areas.

🏡

Properties Near Wooded or Wet Areas

Homes backing onto woods, streams, or retention areas in Northern NJ face elevated tick and mosquito pressure that benefits most from regular treatment.

🏢

HOAs & Dog Parks

High-traffic shared outdoor spaces need consistent insect management. Wondercide is an ideal add-on for our commercial property clients throughout Bergen County.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondercide Questions from NJ Dog Owners

Is Wondercide really safe for my dogs and cats immediately after application?

Yes. Wondercide’s plant-based cedar oil formula does not contain the synthetic chemicals that require re-entry waiting periods. Your pets can return to the treated area right away. Unlike pyrethrin-based products, cedar oil does not affect mammalian neurological systems.

How long does Wondercide stay effective in my yard?

Under typical NJ conditions, Wondercide remains effective for approximately 30 days. Rain and heavy watering can reduce effectiveness sooner. We recommend adding a monthly treatment during peak mosquito and tick season (May through September) for consistent protection.

Will Wondercide harm my garden or flower beds?

Wondercide is safe for plants, flowers, vegetable gardens, and lawn grass. It does not damage plant tissue or soil health. It can be applied to mulch beds, around garden borders, and on patio areas.

Does Wondercide kill bees or other beneficial insects?

No. Wondercide’s mechanism targets octopamine receptors, which exist in insects like fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes — but not in bees, butterflies, or other beneficial pollinators. It is specifically designed to leave these insects unharmed.

Can I add Wondercide to my existing Dog Poop Happens plan?

Absolutely. Wondercide is available as an add-on to any of our residential plans — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or one-time. We apply it after the regular cleanup visit. Just let us know through your Client Portal or when you sign up.

Is Wondercide effective against ticks specifically?

Yes — Wondercide is highly effective against deer ticks (black-legged ticks), dog ticks, and lone star ticks. It kills ticks on contact and repels them from treated areas. Given the Lyme disease risk in Northern NJ, this is particularly valuable for dog owners whose pets spend time outdoors.
