The Cliganic Mosquito Repellent Candle is a 9 oz soy-wax unit designed for stationary outdoor use. It features a natural blend of citronella, lemongrass, rosemary, and peppermint oils. The tinplate housing includes a rolled-edge safety lid, which makes it easy to extinguish and store without worrying about spilling wax or losing the aromatic potency.
Specifications indicate a burn time of up to 40 hours. The soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin, which creates a larger "melt pool" and helps the essential oils evaporate more consistently. For the best performance, always allow the candle to burn long enough for the top layer of wax to liquefy completely to avoid tunneling.
While the candle is an effective supplementary tool for decks and camping, its repellent radius is generally limited to about 3 to 5 feet. The metal tin will become very hot to the touch during use, so it should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials or high-traffic areas where it could be knocked over.
If you need a solution for your lawn that covers a much larger area than a single candle, the Wondercide yard spray can treat your entire outdoor living space.
