8oz Cedar Oil Can - Essential Eastern Red Cedar Wood (juniperus virginiana) Oil - Fox Creek Cedar Oil

I’ve purchased a number of different cedar oils, they were all, at best, just okay. This one straight up slaps. It REEKS of cedar wood in the best way possible. Very potent scent. Stoked

Frikkin amazing aromatic as can be kills moth and larvae and repels a number of pests that it will kill if they get too close, be careful around pets and anything you don’t wish to smell fabulous for a long long time with this stuff although it is pure, and it is near imperative to mix it with something if you plan to use it for a soap or cream or my favorite use, beard balm when I make it at home. If you’ve ever made it you know why it’s so expensive all the ingredients when quality are high but my beard balm is the best and I use this around the holidays to keep my beard smelling like Christmas and the evergreen New England forest on a cold winter morning, squinting beyond the blowing white powdery snow off the dark green abundant needles all around as you tromp through yesterdays foot of snow in your favorite fuzzy boots and toboggan hat, that’s how it smells. My beard is grateful and so are any people who walk by and catch a scent of it. Some folks don’t like it. But then I don’t like that powdery dollar store alcohol diluted baby poop perfume that they wear either lol

I bought this cedar oil to mix up and use as a tick deterrent. A nurse practitioner who both she and her husband were ravaged by Lyme disease told me about it years ago. A good friend of mine is battling a suspected tick born disease which he contracted in January or early February, and we had snow on the ground ! Either that, it was latent in him and popped back up again. Those spirochetes hide out in the body. He'd had some tick born disease 10 years ago that the docs also missed - a lot of false negatives in tick tests - but then he had the bite in August, with a rash, but the symptoms popped up in the early winter. His current problem went from his R foot with pain and swelling, to his left ankle and lower leg, both swollen and painnful. Then to his left hand and forearm. His hand looked like a blown up surgical glove ! This active guy has barely been able to move let alone exercise for over 2 months now. And the pain has been really bad. He can't use his left arm.To throw another barrier to those little arthropods, cedar oil is used, not straight, dilute., Other preps use about a 4 % solution with water. You can also use a "carrier" oil. So I bought spray bottles, eyeballed the amount of cedar oil, added some dish soap and water, shook it up and gave them to my outdoor friends. Add some peppermint essential oil, or oregano oil or citronella or lemongrass oil, or a combo of them depending upon which bitey things you want to keep away. Do a little research. Those natural bug sprays use essential oils. The one's I use work great when the sun goes down and the hungry mosquitos come out.Last spring (May, upa hea' . . . ) and summer into July every time I would check the pool pump I would come back with two ticks on me. And with have hairy kids, one of which perches on the back of easy chair by my head. Not to forget sleeping on beds. LOTS of ways to get ticks. I will spray the area near the pool pump, and spray my shoes when I mow our acres abutting deep woods. Maybe I will try a week spray on my bed, leaving the edges scent free so the ticks will go that way.I had a professor tell me decades ago that when a tick senses butyric acid (mammals emit that) it causes the tick to let go of a branch and drop onto the emitter. Then he said the tick doesn't have enough energy to crawl back up the tree or grass. The butyric acid part was accurate. Well decades later after clearing trails and getting ticks all over me, I saw one crawling across the ceiling 3 days later . . . Plenty of energy.There are tick repelling gaiters with permethrin in them. We just ordered for some for grannie who is a tick magnet. And tick sleeves, look them up.50 years ago there weren't even ticks in this area. Now winter ticks are ravaging the moose population.

Looks good haven’t used it yet.

This is a Great product I put it on a antique hope chess to restore smells like new the hope chess is solid cedar

I just wanted the smell of cedar wood and decided to apply it to a small cedar board that I've had for some time. When I opened the can and applied it with a brush to the board, I wondered where the smell cedar was in the product. Well, if you wait about 24 hours, you WILL smell the cedar and its quite good. My board is rough cut which gives the cedar oil more surface to soak into. The board is going to be my "bottle" of air freshener in my den. If the smell of cedar wanes after a while, I will apply more oil to the board. I think that this might be a better idea that diluting the oil with some sort of "carrier" like unscented castile soap and then putting it in a spray bottle in order to produce the smell in a room --- I believe my method will produce a much more lasting scent. This product should work well to restore the smell in a cedar chest.

I’ve purchased cedar oil before from a different supplier & it worked great with fleas! This product was so weak I could’ve drank it myself to cure a hiccup maybe.

This home was built in the 50s I bought it from my mom and dad when they passed. This cedar closet was built when the home was new. I remember growing up and smelling that cedar as I would walk past that closet going down the hall. When I purchased the home that closet had no more smell and I missed it so I grabbed my rotary sander. Sanded it with 220. Put one coat of this oil on with a roller. Let it sit for 24 hours put on a second coat with the roller and now when I walk down the hall, I smell that cedar closet again just like I did when I was younger. Excellent product! Don’t let any other review that is negative saying it doesn’t smell or saying that it’s a waste of money influence you. It does not smell when you first apply it. Everyone should know that from reading the reviews and if you’ve ever worked with cedar you know that anyway. Apply it as I have told you and three days later, you will love what has happened. This product took a 75 year old closet and made it brand new again!!!
