Often times I hear people say, "My citronella candle does not keep the bugs away" The first thing I ask is, "Does it say Citronella Essential Oil or Fragrance?" Many people don't realize that it is the essential oil, the natural oil derived from stems of grass that are effective in ridding your space of those unwanted bugs. Companies have created a fragrance that lacks thekey components needed to keep the bugs away.
To use candles that eliminate bugs, you can follow these steps:
- Choose candles with essential oils that repel bugs such as citronella, eucalyptus, peppermint, or lemongrass.
- Place the bug-repelling candles strategically around your home, especially near entry points like doors and windows.
- Light the candles in the areas where bugs are most prevalent, such as near kitchen counters or outdoor seating areas.
- Allow the candles to burn for a sufficient amount of time to release the scent and deter bugs from entering your living spaces.
- Remember to extinguish the candles when you are no longer in the room to ensure safety and prevent accidents.
By using bug-repelling candles effectively, you can create a pleasant ambiance in your home while keeping pesky bugs at bay.
We hope this helps!
