Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles contain active repellent ingredients that have a pleasant lemony scent. The efficacy of our natural mosquito candles is not due to the smoke that is produced by regular citronella candles. Instead, our natural lemongrass and spearmint oils release into the atmosphere from a melted pool of premium soy wax. As a result, you will not have smoke or soot to contend with on your clothes or in the air that is normally associated with regular citronella candles and torches.
No natural mosquito repellent will give 100% protection. When using a minimum of two to three Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles around the perimeter of the area you wish to protect, however, you should achieve a significant reduction in the number of mosquito landings — approximately 75-80%.
Remember, only female mosquitoes bite! They need the protein from human blood in order for their eggs to develop.
