Which Incense To Use Against Wasps?

Which incense keeps wasps away? Wasps love a nice sweet smell, while they avoid heavy or spicy aromas. So ignore your favorite colorful incense here and go for strong variants such as Clove Incense or the intense scent of real Frankincense. Deep scents such as mint and sage are also said to have this effect. Do you also want to be able to breathe yourself? According to the makers, Tibetan incense sticks do not contain synthetic fragrances, but only pure resins and oils. These pure plant essences therefore not only smell powerful, but are also said to be healthy to inhale!

Incense Against Flies and Moths

Like mosquitoes, moths would have little interest in Holy Wood. Palo Santo also comes in handy here! In addition, according to experts, camphor, cedar wood, and Patchouli Incense ensure that they do not sink their teeth into your textiles. So regularly light a stick in the room where your wardrobe is or where laundry is dried. Would you rather not burn anything where you keep your clothes? A safer option is to hang bags of wood chips, scented cones or incense herbs with your textiles. According to experts, typical fly incense is comparable to anti-wasp aroma. So here too, powerful sage and basil incense are recommended, just like the intoxicating intensity of real French lavender. Flies don’t like strong smells, so that’s a good thing!

Incense against Mice, Mites, and Ants

Menthol scents make it clear to mice that they are not welcome. So if you had already brought mint or Eucalyptus Incense into your home against stinging mosquitoes, you can use it in different ways. Expand your anti-mice range especially with fresh bay leaves, which would also serve well against sneaky guests. According to experts, ants turn around as soon as they smell cinnamon. So put a smoldering stick of Cinnamon Incense at the door or crumble a cone in the cracks. Finally, with the now well-known Palo Santo stick you would discourage mites from settling permanently in your home. It’s worth trying!

Essential Oils Against Mosquitoes and Other Pests

If you don’t feel the need for smoke, you can also try essential oils. For example, vaporize it in an aroma burner or spray it mixed with water in places where you don’t want vermin. Useful tips are garden cushions, bedding and of course yourself!
