Citronella incense sticks are a type of mosquito repellent made from the essential oil of the citronella plant. The sticks are typically made from a bamboo core that has been soaked in citronella oil and other natural ingredients to produce a fragrant and effective insect deterrent. When burned, the incense releases a strong citrus scent that helps to mask the human odor that attracts mosquitoes and other biting insects. Citronella incense sticks are commonly used in both indoor and outdoor settings such as patios, camping, and picnics, bedrooms, living rooms etc to create a mosquito-free zone.
They are also a popular option for those who prefer natural insect repellents and want to avoid harsh chemicals.
