News Release – Breaking News!

Bite-Lite® Candles Head to the Grammy’s!
Bethel, CT…

Bite-Lite® Candles will be heading to the preview party for the 2012 Grammy Awards on February 8 at the SLS Hotel in Hollywood, CA.    An unknown secret admirer requested the presence of the newest, all-natural candles with a delicious scent to this exclusive, “by invitation only” event.    Award nominees and other notable stars will be there to receive their special edition, luminary candles.

These revolutionary mosquito-repelling candles were launched last May at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, and are now a proven winner for retailers and consumers, alike.   Test results show that the active ingredients in Bite-Lite® Candles repel nearly three (3) times the number of mosquitoes when tested against standard citronella candles.   The unique combination of lemongrass and spearmint essential oils are released through the patented Cloak & Scatter® technology.   A pool of wax forms beneath the wick (usually in about 20 minutes) which releases the active ingredients, forming a protective “shield” that discourages mosquitoes from entering the protected zone.    Placing the candles around you will deliver a luscious scent, sparkling flame and protection from biting mosquitoes.

Currently, these candles are sold solely through independent garden centers, hardware stores, outdoor living centers, other natural-product retailers and the Bite-Lite website.   The nationwide buzz continues to grow as the “hard to find” candles just became easier to find, using the locator software on the Bite-Lite.com website.

The candles are offered in four different styles: a soy tin ($5.99 msrp), a votive 3 pack ($6.99 msrp), a soy jar ($12.99 msrp), and a large fluted luminary ($19.99 msrp). Unlike other candles on the market, Bite-Lite’s unique candles have no soot, smoke, or unpleasant odors. They look great, smell great, and repel mosquitoes at the same time. Bite-Lite, LLC is a privately held company located in Bethel, Connecticut. It was founded in 2010 to develop and market insect control products.

Let It Snow….Let It Snow ….Let It Snow

Many parts of the country are expecting snow this weekend.   Don’t get caught in the storm.

Before the storm hits:

  • Clear rain gutters and repair roof leaks in order to avoid clogging and flooding.
  • Cut away tree branches that could fall on a house or other structure during a storm.

Be Prepared:

  • A shovel –  Even if you live in an apartment you should own a shovel as you may need to dig yourself out before your ground crew gets in, and they are unlikely to dig out your car.
  • Flashlights –  Make sure you have good quality flashlights  with fresh batteries.   Consider a  “Self Powered Flashlights” and “Self Powered Radios”. Some models will also charge your cell phone.
  • Food –  Make sure you have enough non-perishable food to last a few days.
  • A Can Opener –  Make sure you have an old fashioned manual can opener
  • Blankets and Warm Clothing-  You may need enough blankets to keep you warm without any heat
  • Barbeque Grill-   Your stove may have natural gas, but it probably has an electrical ignition.   Make sure your outdoor BBQ grill has enough propane for an emergency
  • Matches to light your candles-   Do not rely on lighters that can run out of fuel or break down all too easily.

Remember, no matter how cold it gets outside, warm weather is just around the corner. Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles are the most effective, natural deterrents to mosquitoes.   These mosquito candles are elegant and smell great.   Ask for them at your local Retailer or buy these natural repellents on our  Products page.

Zombie Mosquitoes

CBS recently reported on the thriving Mosquito community in New York.   Those pesky, disease carrying insects are putting down roots and homesteading the New York sewer system.    For an insect that thrives in warm wet environments, the sewer system in New York is a paradise. The mosquitoes come up through the cracks in the streets as well as subways, basements, and then through air-vents.   This breed of mosquito is extra blood thirsty; they prefer the shadows of nightfall and are active year round.

Typically the 311 call center stops taking calls on Mosquitoes October 31st; this has presented a serious problem for local residents battling the insects.   It has even been suggested that many families who think they are plagued by bedbugs are actually victims of these resilient and resourceful mosquitoes.

You can safeguard your home by covering all open vents with black mesh and consider sleeping inside a black mesh netting over your bed.

Mosquitoes are no longer a seasonal problem, and Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellents are more than a seasonal solution.   Remember to keep your family and friends safe.   Keep your Bite-Lite® natural repellents handy.   Remember to light them up 20 minutes before you need them.    Our candles are available at local Retailers and on our Products page.

Haunted House Countdown

The fourth haunted house on the BiteLite® List of Halloween attractions is in Fort Worth, Texas, and has an unusual back drop– an abandoned meat packing factory!   The setting for such a venue is perfect, as is the name of the haunted house– “The Cutting Edge.”   The Cutting Edge Haunted House features live sets, animations, and hundreds of live actors inside and outside the building.    One of the best features of the attraction is all the real meat packing plant equipment left behind from when the planet closed years ago.

A sign on both the website and the attraction advises patrons to enter at their own risk, and the promoters mean it!    This amazing haunted house holds the Guiness Book of World Records for the longest walk through in a haunted house.

Regardless of what your plans are for Halloween in warmer climates like Texas, remember that if you plan on being outside, relaxing with your family in the backyard, you should light up a Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candle to help repel pesky mosquitoes.   Light the candles 20 minutes before you head outside, so the wax has an opportunity to pool.   These mosquito candles are available at your local Retailer or on our Products page.
