Shoo is a bug repellant made from pure essential oils.
Shoo contains:
Lemon eucalyptus- known to be effective at preventing mosquito bites, and in high concentrations may reduce attachment of ticks.
Citronella – has been shown to be as effective against mosquitos, dose for dose as effective as DEET
Lavender – traditionally used in personal repellants- and smells lovely ☺
Kunzea – a native Australian plant known as tick bush as animals are often found to sleep under or rub against to bush for protection from ticks, also shown to have a short term (approx. 1hr) effect against mosquitos
Remember to apply often (at least every two hours) as essential oils dissipate more quickly than chemical preparations.
Shoo has also been used against hair lice, green ants and to deter flies on horses.
