Jar candles made with natural citronella oil are credited with keeping mosquitoes at bay. The aroma emitted from good quality citronella candles confuses mosquitoes, fleas, no see-ums and other insect pests. They are unable to find a target to bite when the citronella oil is in the air.
It is a mistake to place one large citronella candle in the middle of the table at an outdoor party. Instead, place many strongly scented citronella candles around the perimeter of the party to deter bugs from coming near. Use more candles inside the perimeter for best effect.
Because citronella oil is non-toxic, using these candles should not make people or animals sick. The scent of the oil released into the environment is not harmful to plants or the ozone layer.
Some people do not like to put lotions and sprays on their skin, so these candles are a wonderful option. Purchase citronella candles and holders or make your own.
