CEDAR OIL 8 OZ CAN

Great product increased the cedar smell in the closets. Easy to apply and the smell will last for two or three months.

I wanted to refresh my cedar blocks and tried 3 different cedar oils on Amazon. Seems the big boxes don't carry it in store. All 3 were approximately the same price. One turned out to be a cedar spray, which is made by putting a small amount of oil into water. That fact was hidden until delivery and the product was returned. The other brand didn't smell like cedar, not even when applied to cedar blocks and permitted to dry. It had a rather chemical smell.The Giles and Kendall Oil was the best overall. I paid $40 for 2 8 oz cans, so the new price of $35 ($33 with sub n save) is a big plus. I refreshed my cedar blocks by standing them on end and using an eye dropper to drop the oil onto the blocks and let it soak in. I then flipped them and treated the end grain on the other end.Once this was done, I decided I needed more cedar blocks to add to all my drawers and stored clothing. There are good prices for that as well on Amazon. We needed so many though, that we bought the Giles and Kendall closet liner planks (available on Amazon or at local big box stores). We cut those planks to approximately 3" and treated them with additional oil. Even though they were new, they still soaked up a lot of oil, and I didn't want to put off doing it since everything was already out.The cedar oil can also be used to make a pet spray for application on the dog, as well as for a yard spray to help keep fleas and ticks at bay.The twist lid was extremely difficult to loosen, we had to resort to pliers. After that's done, then you have to deal with the metal plug. Trying to pry it out from the side doesn't work, so we used an ice pick (a nail would work as well). We tapped the pick into the plug and tilted it out.Since the oil doesn't come with a dropper, I purchased a set of 12 1/2 ounce dark glass bottles with dropper lids from Amazon and decanted my oil into those to store use and share.I highly recommend this cedar oil.

Overall good, less strong than I had hoped and has a peanut butter undertone, but nice

Using this mixed 1:5 with food grade mineral oil, to control horn flies and face flies on cattle. It really works and is non-toxic, making it safe and easy to apply. The price is very high. Now that I know it works, I'll be looking for a gallon container and expect to pay around $100 per gallon which will be a much better value. My trials show it to be very effective for fly control and I would be remiss not to say the smell is heavenly.

I should start by saying I love this stuff so much I use it every day. I can’t get enough of the way it smells. I have one in my office and one at home, and I’ve purchased it twice (although once from a retailer).The scent is very earthy... people who come in to my office compliment the smell all the time.The only less than positive Comments I’ll make is that the smell doesn’t seem to linger as well as the bottle I used to have. My old bottle lasted me for well over a year. I bought two bottles recently and I’m almost out. Also, the two bottles I have now don’t actually smell exactly the same. But if you don’t have the annoying super power of smell like I do, I doubt you’ll care. It’s still worth buying.Oh! And I’ve noticed it kinda keeps bugs away from my shoes when I go out for a walk. So bonus!

I use a small paint brush to paint this oil on my bare-wood cedar linen closet doors once a year. Also, each year, I soak round cedar rings for hangers in this cedar oil in a canning jar for a day or two, lay them on a piece of cotton rag to dry a bit, them put them back on my hangers to repel moths. I have coats wool coats from the 1940's still in good repair this way. I hang a small piece of cotton cloth or cotton balls soaked in cedar oil and pin them to door screens and window screens to help repel wasps, flies, gnats and mosquitoes. I also rub a little on my ankles to keep the ticks & fleas away when walking in the woods. Once a year I very thoroughly clean, sanitize and disinfect my cement block milk-house-turned-henhouse and paint cedar oil on the wooden door and window sills to repel bugs from my hens. It's great for making all my wood furniture shine, too!

We use it for our Cedar Closets. They were neglected for decades and the Giles and Kendall Cedar Oil worked and smelled great! So far, I have re-coated 4 cedar closets 5 times/each; that is how dry they were. Cedar Oil repels moths (of course!) and many other insects. We use it in our clothes closets and a towel closet. We also purchased this at select Home Depot's. But, it is tough to find there; call or check ahead to see if they have it. Usually in Aisle 2, Section 10, FYI. Highly recommend Giles and Kendall Cedar Oil. We have tried others but they were weak and water based (like Colton's) seemed for heated scenters, not real duty use in closets.

Very little smell of wood ashes mixed with vegetable oil? No point of applying this to wood, didn’t make any difference as to the aroma
