Hate mosquitoes as much as I do? I believe their primary purpose on earth is to annoy and torment me; and I’m always looking for outdoor insect repellent to keep them at bay. But I really don’t like the idea of coating my body with toxic chemicals or sitting next to a paraffin wax citronella candle that gives off formaldehyde and other poisonous vapors. So what options do we have for natural insect repellent? Scented Soy Pillar Candles chocked full of natural essential oils that repel bugs are the way to go for your non-toxic, natural, backyard insect repellent needs.

The scented soy pillar candle I’ve linked to here is a blend of geranium, rosemary, and citronella essential oils combined with all natural, non-toxic, soy wax contained in an 8 ounce tin (2 inches high by 3.25 inches wide). The scent and natural vapors keep away mosquitoes, black flies, and other flying pests. Like most scented soy pillar candles it has a rich, pleasant scent and it burns for a long time. This one goes for about 55 hours.

What’s more, because Scented Soy Pillar Candles are safe on the skin, you can also rub the melted wax on your neck, arms, and legs to repel mosquitoes and keep your skin soft. (Or if you prefer, they offer a Bug Off! Spritzer and a Bug Off! Bug Rub, both made from the same ingredients.)
