Natural Mosquito Repellents for Home and Terrace

Quick answer: Fertinagro Vida's mosquito repellents are based on natural essential oils of citronella and lavandin, without the synthetic insecticides common in other products. There's a format for every situation: a long-lasting gel for the room, a body spray to apply to the skin, and clay candles for dinners and evenings on the porch or terrace.

Which format to choose

Product Use Highlight
Anti-Mosquito Gel Room use (bedroom, covered terrace) Long-lasting, just open the jar
Anti-Mosquito Body Spray On the skin, before heading outdoors Natural protection with a pleasant scent, based on essential oils
Clay Anti-Mosquito Candle Terrace or porch for hours at a time 65-70 hours of use; citronella and lavandin
Clay Anti-Fly Candle Outdoor meals Geranium and lavender; designed to keep flies away during meals

How to combine them for an evening on the terrace

  • Before sitting down: light the appropriate clay candle (anti-mosquito or anti-fly, depending on what bothers you most) so the area is protected by the time people arrive.
  • If you'll be outdoors without a table (a walk, the garden): apply the body spray directly to the skin.
  • For a room or covered area used for a long time: the gel, which needs no wick or lighting.

Why citronella, lavandin and geranium

These essential oils are well-known natural repellents against mosquitoes and flies: their scent interferes with the insect's ability to locate people, without the need for contact insecticides. It's a more natural alternative for those who prefer to avoid synthetic chemicals in the home environment, especially with children or pets nearby.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a clay candle stay lit?

The anti-mosquito candle offers 65 to 70 hours of use; check the product page for the exact duration of each format.

Does the body spray stain clothing?

Since it's an essential oil formulation, follow the label instructions and test it on a small area of delicate fabric before applying it more widely.

Can I use the anti-fly candle and the anti-mosquito candle at the same time?

Yes, they have different scents (geranium and lavender versus citronella and lavandin) and can be combined depending on which insect you want to keep away.
