  • How I create a candle to repel mosquitoes and other insects using old cooking oil, lavender oil, and other items from around the house. Simple but effective in repelling mosquitoes around a porch or small area. Make several to expand the coverage area and mix with other repellent oils to increase effectiveness.

    Super neat! About how long does the candle burn for? Also, since you’re reusing oil from previous cooking, did it give the candle any strange scent? But great video, thanks for the tips!

      Good questions. The candles will burn for hours at a time. I don’t have the exact time but I’ve used the same one for hours at a time and over several days. There is no additional scent that is given off. I was worried that the oil would smell like French fries (not like that’s a bad thing) but all I could smell is the lavender oil. I would recommend filtering the oil if it has a lot of crumbs or something prior to using it. You can use a coffee filter, paper towel or even an old sock for that. Have fun with it and let me know. How it works for you.

      @@jermaineshorter35 Thanks for the tips! I’ll have to give it a try soon, but fortunately, the mosquitoes haven’t come out to play yet (fingers crossed)

    How does it work at night time though not during the middle of the day

      I'm not sure. I only use it when I'm outside with it to monitor. The light may attract other bugs so I would recommend having a bug zapper nearby as well. In my opinion, most things are best done in layers and not a one solution strategy. Let me know if you try it at night and how it works out for you.

    There is huge space for improvement in your presentation。No center point,what are you trying to say?

      Hi Alice, I thought the style of content was great, especially the presentation. In this age of spasticity, the slowed down content was refreshing. There was very little dead air in the video that could not be attributed to needing to focus on the task at hand. All dialogue was on topic.
      While I understand what you mean about the lack of a center point, what else could be improved upon in this presentation? You seem to have a clear preference which, if articulated fully, can usually be very useful to content creators

      What didn't you understand. at least 10 times he said this was how to make a Candle to repel mosquitoes.. That was the center point of the presentation.
