Three models of citronella candles to keep mosquitoes away this summer

With the heat, whether indoors or outdoors, we tend to leave doors and windows open so that the house is airy. With this, especially after sunset, we allow entry of mosquitoes, with its consequent tribute in the form of our blood. In addition: at night, if we leave the lights on, they work like a magnet to attract them inside the houses or on the terraces, and thus be able to satisfy their thirst and hunger in our calves with pecks.

An interesting remedy to keep them away, although not entirely infallible, are citronella candles, which on the other hand perfumes and embellishes. It is citronella oil, although oils of various types of geranium and even lemon can also be used, as mosquitoes do not like strong vegetable colors. These oils are mixed with soy wax, a thick oil obtained from this plant which serves as fuel for the candle, while the citronella oil evaporates and fills the air with its mosquito repellent scent.

Especially if the night is warm and with little breeze or air, the citronella candles will create a repellent environment for mosquitoes and we can have dinner, watch TV or have a quiet chat on the terrace or in the dining room, with all open, without worrying too much. At ConsumptionClaro we offer you three models of candles that are very popular with Amazon users.
