Mosquito Free & Fragrant
Delightful to you, but offensive to mosquitoes. Murphy's Naturals powers their candles with the highest-performing repellent essential oils that nature has to offer. Each candle burns for 14 hours and smells exceptional. Think of it as a minty, mosquito forcefield.
As the candle burns, their proven blend of mosquito-fighting essential oils is dispersed into the air. The fragrance of the oils binds to mosquitoes' olfactory receptors, creating confusion when they are looking for human indicators (like CO2 and body odor). With rosemary, peppermint, citronella and lemongrass these aromas create a mosquito free zone so you can enjoy the outdoors even more!
Murphy's Naturals conducted tests to find the perfect blend of oils for their Mosquito Repellent Candle. They tested their repellent candles at New Mexico State University's Molecular Vector Physiology Lab. But what does “tested" really mean? It means that they didn't hesitate to get in the weeds—or in this case, a cage—until they get the results you deserve. During their studies, the NMSU team traces mosquito movement either to or from a human volunteer on the Murphy's Team. As olfactory-motivated creatures, mosquitoes move away from scents they don't like, such as these candles. The most recent study concluded that this mosquito repellent candle successfully decreased human attractiveness (aka, the likelihood you'll get bitten) for up to thirty hours.
