Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
Dog poo, water, and pepper. Mix. That'll scare em away.
If not, get a purse and put a brick in it. That'll do the trick if they get too close.

Pepper spay is illegal in most places, in the areas where there is no actual law against it, using it on a person is still considered assault, actually in my hometown it was recently made illegal to use it on an animal as well.
I live in a rather unpleasant part of town myself and a carry a small but very very bright flashlight with a button that makes it strobe. It is perfectly legal and has temporarily blinded a few people long enough for me to get away.
I also invested in a pair of comfortable steel toe shoes that I wear whenever I am out late or alone. Maybe this is all in my head, but they make me feel much more secure. One swift kick with a pair of work boots like that can shatter bone. (Also assault but not nearly as permanent as the blindness and sight problems that can be caused by pepper spray)
I hope that was helpful. I don't feel right linking you to recipes although I'm sure you can goggle it and find it, but maybe you'll try some of my tactics too.

This really doesn't sound like a good idea. I'm not sure that it would be responsible to help you with this; you could hurt someone, or yourself. And if your living conditions are *that* dangerous, the best advice I could give you would be to get out of there and move somewhere safe!
I'll also point out that in some areas, spraying anyone with pepper spray - homemade or not - would be considered assault, perhaps armed assault, which could land you in a world of trouble.
You'd be wiser to contact the appropriate authorities.
That said...Google seems to have some information that applies. Please be very careful.

Good luck.
ADDED LATER: After reading your feedback, I thought I'd better add some more information.
One thing you should know is that pepper spray, mace, or other incapacitating substances don't always work. You could spray an assailant, and just enrage them; that could make things even worse than they would have been. If they've recently taken drugs (which sounds possible), they're even MORE likely to be able to ignore the effects of pepper spray.
To be honest, I really think you should get out of that area. No one should have to live in a place where they run a regular risk of assault and rape.
If you don't mind, I'll also paste in some advice that I wrote earlier about dealing with attempted rape or assault:
If you think you run the risk of rape or assault - if you live or work in a high-crime area, for example - it's a very good idea to prepare. Always be aware of where you are, particularly at night, and try not to be alone. Carry a loud whistle or an air-horn. Some people use pepper spray or mace, although that may not always be a good idea and I believe it's illegal in some states.
If you're being attacked, GET LOUD. Don't let them take you off to a private location, DON'T cooperate. Scream as loudly as you can and fight as if your life depended on it (because it might). Bite, particularly the soft parts of the face like the nose and cheeks if you can reach them. Claw at their eyes, HARD. You can try to kick a male in the groin, but don't count on that working - it doesn't, always, particularly if the assailant is on a drug (such as angel dust, for example).
Once you break away, run to the most public spot you can find and ask for help, loudly.
Self-defense classes are offered in many towns, cities, and schools. These aren't martial arts or anything like that; just practical information on how to save your life when you're in serious trouble.
If you've been raped in any way, date rape or assault, call the police immediately. Don't wash yourself or clean up in any way - you could destroy evidence that could help the police catch your attacker. You'll probably be taken to a hospital for the evidence to be collected. You may also be given an AIDS test, and later a pregnancy test.
There are many national, regional, and local rape hotlines and websites across America. The number one site according to Google is:

And their hotline (a toll-free number, I believe you should be able to call it from your cell or from any pay phone even if you don't have any change) is 1-800-656-4673 (24 hrs).
If you're not in the US, use Google or your local phone book to find rape hotline numbers in your country, and keep those numbers with you.
If you are raped, please remember that it is NOT YOUR FAULT. Get all the support that you can, because there are few experiences in life that are more devastating. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to ask for help.
I hope that you never need any of this information. Good luck!
