Summer in Canada is when we can finally have BBQs, go camping, or have a patio party with friends, unfortunately the nasty bugs come to join in on our fun uninvited. There are lots of toxic pesticides on the market but sometimes they don't always work, or they smell bad and repel you from enjoying your summer day. That’s why we created Seriously Fck Off*, a DEET-free, all-natural bug repellent soy candle handcrafted in Lethbridge, Alberta. Proudly made by Ebony & Ivory Candle Co, a woman-owned Canadian business, this citronella candle is your go-to for mosquito-free patio parties, camping trips, and cottage weekends.
With ingredients specially chosen to make the candle burning experience pleasant while tackling pests all at once. The natural bug repellent soy candle and spray are scented with strong citronella, fresh lemongrass, soothing lavender, woodsy cedar, and black pepper.
Black pepper is an effective natural bug repellent ingredient, commonly used in soil to prevent pests from attacking garden plants. All these naturally scented ingredients are capable of turning mosquitos, gnats, flies, fruit flies, moths, ticks, and spiders away from your relaxing summer day. Like the rest of our candles, this candle is made with 100% all-natural soy to make it a clean burning experience.
Citronella is a great smelling and effective natural bug repellent ingredient. The fragrance masks out any insect tempting scents in the area, making it difficult for insects like mosquitoes to mark their prey. Citronella is more than just a natural bug repellent, its aroma has many health benefits as well. Its aroma can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria floating in the air. It has relaxing properties that can help ease the body and a negative state of mind. It is also known for reducing muscle spasm, relieving headaches, and improving one's energy.
Lavender is a natural bug repellent that is rich in linalool, a terpene alcohol that gives it its distinctive scent. This scent is strong enough to mask human scents that attract insects, and it's also unpleasant to many insects, including mosquitoes. Lavender has many for you as well. Lavender is a natural relaxant. It can help with relieving anxiety and depression. So not only will it help keep the bugs away, and also make sure you stay relaxed and not worry about the bugs mentally.
Lemongrass is a natural bug repellent that smells amazing, honestly don’t know how anyone could hate lemongrass, but apparently the bugs do. Lemongrass is known to repel a variety of insects, including mosquitoes, flies, ticks, ants, cockroaches, and even some rodents and spiders. Its strong, citrusy scent, rich in compounds like geraniol and citral, helps deter these pests. In addition to insects, lemongrass can also be used to repel certain animals like ticks and even lizards.
Many harmful bug repellents contain an ingredient called DEET. DEET is an effective bug repellent but the health risks with being exposed to DEET is far too severe. DEET when exposed to the skin can cause irritation, redness, swelling and rashes. If DEET is ingested it can cause a lot of stomach issues including nausea and vomiting. There have also been a few reports of people exposed to DEET and the ingredient causing a seizure.
