Mosquito Citronella Diffuser - FAQs

The EnviroSafe Citronella Mosquito Diffuser is a convenient, flame-free way to repel mosquitoes. It consists of a decorative jar filled with a natural, citronella oil-based liquid and a wick. The wick draws the liquid up and diffuses the repellent aroma into the air, creating a protective zone.

The specially designed fibrous wick continuously absorbs the repellent liquid from the jar. Once saturated, the citronella oil naturally evaporates from the surface of the wick, dispersing into the air. Mosquitoes find the scent of citronella unpleasant, which helps keep them away from the treated area.

It is designed for semi-enclosed outdoor areas or well-ventilated indoor spaces. Perfect for patios, decks, balconies, gazebos, porches, camping tents (with ventilation), screened-in areas, and doorways.

One EnviroSafe Citronella Mosquito Repellent diffuser effectively covers an area of up to 20 sqm. For larger spaces, we recommend using multiple diffusers placed around the perimeter.

• Remove the decorative ventilation cap.
• Unscrew the clear wick cover to release the fragrance.
• Replace the decorative cap.
• Place the diffuser on a stable, level surface in the area you wish to protect.
• For best results, place it upwind or in a central location where air can circulate the scent.

Under typical conditions (moderate temperature and airflow), one 120ml jar of liquid will last approximately 60 days when used continuously. Factors like high heat, wind, and humidity can increase the evaporation rate.

It is primarily formulated to repel common nuisance mosquitoes. Citronella oil is also known to deter other flying insects like gnats, sandflies and midges to varying degrees. It is not a pesticide and will not eliminate insects or be highly effective against all species (e.g., ticks).

Once the wick cap is removed and the diffuser is placed, it begins working immediately. It may take 15-30 minutes to establish a fully effective scent barrier in the immediate area.

Our repellent liquid is made with a base of naturally derived citronella oil with a small proportion of added plant-based essential oils to create a pleasant blend. It does not contain DEET, parabens, or harsh synthetic chemicals.

When used as directed in well-ventilated areas, our diffuser is generally safe. However, it should be placed out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ingestion or spillage. The jar and liquid are not toys. If you have specific concerns about pets, consult your veterinarian.

Yes! This is a major advantage. Unlike citronella candles or torches, there is no open flame, soot, or smoke. It can be safely left out on your patio. However, as with any product, it should not be left in direct, intense sunlight for prolonged periods or in reach of curious pets that could knock it over.

Check the environment: Very windy conditions can disperse scent quickly. Consider moving the diffuser to a slightly more sheltered spot.

Once the wick cap is removed and the diffuser is placed, it begins working immediately. It may take 15-30 minutes to establish a fully effective scent barrier in the immediate area.
