what are they
Bug-resilient (or bug-repellent) candles use plant-based essential oils to naturally deter insects. Instead of toxic chemicals, they release fragrant vapors that mask the human scents—like carbon dioxide and body odor—that typically attract biting bugs, offering a natural and pleasant alternative to sprays.
