Cloak & Scatter® Technology is the name of Bite-Lite’s patent pending mosquito candle formula. The name accurately describes how Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candle products are meant to work. Certain floral materials seem to interfere with the ability of mosquitoes to find host animals, and some repel mosquitoes. The natural properties of the Spearmint and Lemongrass Oils found in our Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles act together to keep mosquitoes away. By placing our mosquito candles around the perimeter of the area you plan to occupy, the repellents will “cloak” that area and “scatter” or repel the mosquitoes away.
