This 8 oz. refill oil is a high-viscosity blend of cedar oil and geraniol, designed for use with the "Patio Egg" ceramic diffuser. It functions through passive diffusion, where the oil is absorbed into the porous ceramic and slowly evaporates into the air. This method creates a scent-based barrier that is most effective in low-wind conditions. The formulation has a high flash point, making it suitable for use in high outdoor temperatures, though it is not intended for use with open flames.
Application Tips
To avoid leaking or staining furniture, it is best to fill the ceramic egg in small increments—about 2 oz. at a time—rather than pouring the entire bottle in at once. Because essential oils can act as solvents on certain finishes, placing a coaster under your diffuser is a practical way to help protect wood or stone surfaces. The oil provides a steady scent profile for approximately 2 to 4 weeks per application depending on the ambient temperature and airflow.
- DEET-free formula is a choice for families looking for plant-based options.
- High geraniol content is selected for its effectiveness in spatial scent barriers.
- Slow evaporation rate ensures the refill lasts through multiple outdoor gatherings.
If you prefer an active, fan-powered diffusion system, the X-PEST Portable Diffuser uses a battery-operated fan to move repellent through the air.
