FAQs

How long does one incense stick last?

Each Aviro Citronella Oil Incense Stick provides over 75 minutes of protection when burning.

Are these sticks safe for children and pets?

Yes, they are made from natural citronella oil and are non-toxic, making them safe for use around family, children, and pets when used as directed in an outdoor setting.

What is the concentration of citronella oil in these sticks?

The sticks feature a 6% concentration of pure citronella oil for effective insect repellency.

Can I use these indoors?

These incense sticks are primarily designed for outdoor use to repel insects. While they offer aromatherapy benefits, using them in enclosed indoor spaces is not recommended due to the potent scent and smoke.

What makes these sticks eco-friendly?

The sticks are crafted from 95% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How should I store the incense sticks?

Store unused incense sticks in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain their quality and effectiveness.

What should I do if the stick doesn't light properly?

Ensure the tip is fully exposed to the flame for a few seconds until an ember forms. Gently blow out the flame to allow it to smolder. If issues persist, try a fresh stick.

Troubleshooting

Incense stick won't stay lit or smolder

Ensure the tip is lit long enough for the ember to form. If it goes out, re-light and allow a proper ember to establish before it begins to smolder effectively. Avoid strong breezes during initial lighting.

Reduced insect repellency

Check if the incense stick is still smoldering. Strong winds can dissipate the smoke; try placing sticks closer together or in a more sheltered location. Ensure you are using the recommended number of sticks for the area.

Aroma is too strong or causes irritation

While natural, citronella can be potent. Ensure adequate ventilation by using the sticks in open outdoor spaces. If irritation persists, discontinue use or try using fewer sticks.
