Skeetyjuice

My Skeetyjuice potion sells like crazy here in Memphis, and it has a lot of fans outside Memphis too. I do sell it. While I share the recipe freely, most people don't want to mess with it, or they don't want to invest in all the essential oils, but for those who aren't local the recipe has to do. For those who are local and don't like driving out to the 'burbs to pick it up, look for Skeetyjuice in the Trolley Stop Market really soon!!!

Why does the Skeetyjuice sell like crazy? Because no one who wears it gets bitten - EVER - as long as they apply it. All of that and no destroying the environment or your health with petroleum product and toxic chemicals. It smells great. And it is safe for your family. Pregnant women and children under 5 should consult with their physicians because...you know...I have to tell you that. Skeetyjuice does contain lemongrass, which pregnant women are typically warned about, so don't use lemongrass if you are pregnant! And I suspect this would still work because it has so many anti-skeety elements.

Our family of 5 goes through a quart or 2 of Skeetyjuice from April to October. That is with a lot of camping, outdoor concerts, etc. Oh, and we share it with others a lot too.

Anyway, without further ado, I give you the Skeetyjuice recipe.

•1 Tbsp. Shaklee Basic h2 (dish soap will also do well) 
•1 Tbsp.castor oil
• 1/2 c. witch hazel (or alcohol)
•water

Essential oils:*
•35 drops peppermint
•35 drops citronella
•15 drops cedar
•15 drops geranium
•10 drops clove
•15 drops rosemary
•15 drops lemongrass

Add Basic h2 (or dish soap), castor oil, and essential oils to a glass jar (essential oils can destroy most  plastics
within a couple days). Slowly pour in witch hazel (or alcohol) and then very slowly pour in water (it will foam if you go too fast). Shake.

Shake before each use to reincorporate.

I buy these these industrial spray nozzles on Amazon. They fit perfectly on Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar bottles, which are glass. If you store Skeetyjuice in clear glass, and you won't use it within a few days, wrap the bottle in a brown paper bag or two and twist at the top to protect from sunlight. Sunlight will destroy the properties of the essential oils. Amber glass is ideal.
