FAQs
How long do these incense sticks typically burn for?
Due to their extra-long 50cm length, these sticks are designed to burn for several hours, providing extended protection and ambiance.
Can I use these incense sticks indoors?
No, these incense sticks are specifically designed for outdoor use only. Using them indoors can be a fire hazard and the smoke is intended for outdoor ventilation.
What is the primary benefit of the citronella infusion?
The citronella infusion helps to naturally repel common outdoor insects like mosquitoes, making your outdoor spaces more enjoyable.
How many sticks should I use for an average patio area?
For an average patio seating area, using 3-4 sticks placed around the perimeter or near the seating arrangement is generally recommended for best results.
What should I do if the wind affects the burning of the incense?
Try to place the sticks in a more sheltered location, away from direct wind. Using a sturdy incense holder can also provide some protection.
Are these sticks safe to use around pets?
While the scent is natural, it is always best to keep burning incense sticks out of reach of pets to avoid accidental burns or ingestion. Ensure they are placed where pets cannot knock them over.
Troubleshooting
Incense stick won't stay lit
Ensure the tip is properly lit and allowed to smolder before the flame extinguishes. Check for strong drafts or wind that might be extinguishing the ember.
Incense stick burns too quickly
This can happen in windy conditions. Try to reposition the stick in a more sheltered spot or use a taller holder to shield it from the wind.
Limited insect repellent effect
Ensure enough sticks are used in the immediate area (recommend 3-4 per seating area) and that they are placed close to where you are sitting. Effectiveness can vary based on insect density and wind.
Stick falls over
Ensure the stick is inserted firmly into stable ground or a suitable holder. If the ground is soft, use a holder filled with sand or soil for better stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Choose a suitable outdoor location away from flammable materials.
- Ensure the ground is stable and firm. If not, use a stable incense holder or pot filled with sand or soil.
- Insert the unlit end of the incense stick about 2-3 cm into the ground or holder, ensuring it stands upright.
- Light the tip of the incense stick with a match or lighter.
- Allow the flame to burn for a few seconds, then gently blow it out. The stick should glow and emit smoke.

Care:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
- Ensure the burning stick is never left unattended.
- Extinguish the stick completely when not in use or when leaving the area.
