For insect-free evenings at last
All too often, evenings outdoors are ruined by flies and mosquitoes. This torch will make you want to try again without being bothered. It has been designed to meet 2 main requirements:
1 - Keep mosquitoes and other flying insects away from the area where the torch is lit. Thanks to a natural support in the shape of a disc, impregnated with geraniol, an active substance well known for keeping insects away, the heat of the flame will spread the product over a perimeter of around 5 to 6 m².
2 - Create a warm atmosphere. Once lit, the flame turns red.
Protection, effectiveness and a cosy atmosphere for your outdoor evenings.

Instructions for use
Remove the torch from its case and the bag from the washer. Unscrew the cap and straighten the wick. Open the bag and place the washer around the wick. Light the wick with a lighter. The heat of the torch will diffuse the active ingredient from the washer for immediate effectiveness. To extinguish the torch while it is burning, use the metal cap to smother the flame. Wait several minutes before replacing the plug. Wash your hands after handling.
Its composition
Mixed solution (150 ml) Propane-1,2-Diol (CAS 57-55-6); Washer: SA geraniol 4.5% (CAS 106-24-1) TP19
Why do mosquitoes want your skin ?
Mosquitoes don't love our skin so much as the carbon dioxide (CO2) that emanates from it! When it's hot, your body temperature rises, as does your perspiration. And the whiter your skin, the more CO2 you give off.
Secondly, the insect is attracted by your perspiration. Your sweat gives off chemical compounds that are much appreciated by insects: volatile fatty acids, lactic acid and carbon dioxide (CO2). As the production of these molecules varies between individuals, this explains why some skins are more attractive to mosquitoes than others.
The mosquito's antennae are in action ! They act as a "nose" to detect the presence of high levels of CO2 around them, triggering them to move towards the source.
Precautions for use
Keep out of reach of children. Store in a dry place.
Packaging
Delivered in a 100% recyclable cardboard box containing all the components of the flashlight.
