These "Mintronella" sticks are designed for perimeter protection in outdoor spaces like patios and campsites. Each of the 100 sticks consists of a bamboo and wood-pulp core infused with citronella and peppermint oils. They provide a "curtain" of smoke that helps deter flying insects in low-wind conditions.
Features include a high count for bulk value and a formula that is safe for use around pets and children when placed in a designated perimeter. Because the sticks produce a heavy particulate smoke, they are strictly for outdoor use with proper ventilation. The burn time for a single 10-inch stick is typically between 45 and 60 minutes.
The bamboo substrate is porous and can absorb moisture if stored in damp conditions, which may make the sticks difficult to light or cause them to extinguish prematurely. To maintain their quality, store them in a dry, airtight container. Some sticks may be fragile, so handling the bulk pack with care during transport will prevent snapping.
If you prefer a scent-free zone without the use of smoke, the Thermacell Patio Shield is a highly effective electronic alternative.
