Has anyone tried Wondercide cedar oil spray?

Per Wondercide.com their cedar oil is a modified Eastern Red Cedar oil that is properly diluted with a hydrated silica carrier oil at a 90% ratio. It is not known to be harmful to cats or kittens, since* it does not contain phenols, or phenolic compounds,* which occur naturally in many essential oils and are toxic to mammals, especially cats. Cedar chips are no longer recommended for dog beds, being especially harmful to puppies.

Cats don’t have the liver enzyme needed to break down the phenols in certain essential oils. Phenols build up in their systems as they ingest it while grooming, becoming increasingly harmful.

I haven’t tried cedar oil sprays yet; still use Advantage drops, and only when needed.
