Mosquito repellent candles - which ones to choose and how to use them?

The ones that fly and flutter... let's just say we don't like them all the same. Mosquitoes can make even the most pleasant evening spent on the terrace unpleasant, disrupt a children's garden party or a barbecue with friends. Can we somehow protect ourselves against mosquitoes? Are there candles that repel mosquitoes? How to choose them and how to use them so that they are effective?

Mosquitoes accompany us every summer. There are many ways to protect yourself against them. What if we are having a party in the garden and we don't want mosquitoes to disturb this joyful time? What if, after a long day of work, we want to sit together on the terrace or balcony, drink a glass of wine and watch the stars? When we have a barbecue with friends? Anti-mosquito candles with Citronella scent will come to our aid.

What is Citronella and how is it obtained?

Citronella oil is a type of essential oil produced from various species of a plant called Cymbopogon (lemongrass). In addition to its extensive use in perfumery and cosmetics production, Citronella has a mosquito repellent effect and was registered as a mosquito repellent in the United States in 1948. Citronella oil also has a strong antifungal effect and, interestingly, effectively calms barking dogs. Citronella oil is produced in countries where Cymbopogon plants occur naturally in China, Indonesia, Taiwan and Sri Lanka.

How does an anti-mosquito candle work?

The anti-mosquito candle is filled with Citronella oil. When the candle is burned, this oil is released into the air, creating a kind of "protective coat" at the place of burning. Therefore, it works perfectly when we are sitting at the table - such a lit candle will repel mosquitoes. You can also place it near the grill, or preferably in several places at the same time, to enhance the effect.

In addition to repelling mosquitoes, candles also provide wonderful and atmospheric lighting, perfect for the evening. To ensure safe burning of the anti-mosquito candle, we recommend placing it in covers or candle holders to prevent irregular burning and smoke caused by gusts of wind. Many anti-mosquito candles are made specifically for outdoor use. Garden candles usually have thicker wicks that will keep the flame stable even in light winds. Anti-mosquito candles from the Citronella Garden series by Bolsius are perfect for relaxing with your loved ones.

What types of mosquito repellent candles are there and which ones to choose?

Anti-mosquito candles come in various sizes. We can choose from smaller anti-mosquito candles, e.g. scented warmers or candles in small jars. You can also choose from larger anti-mosquito candles in thick glass, typically intended for outdoor use. We recommend, especially at a larger table or if the party takes place in the garden, placing several anti-mosquito candles in "strategic" places.

Citronella scented waxes are new on the market. You can use your aromatherapy fireplace to repel mosquitoes indoors or outdoors. Enjoy a mosquito-free summer!
