Bite-Lite to launch mosquito-repelling candles

BETHEL, Conn. — A new line of mosquito-repelling candles is slated to make its nationwide debut.

Bite-Lite said its candles feature a proprietary blend of essential oils that works by attacking the mosquito's sensors, which wards off the biting insects. Bite-Lite's candles will be available as luminaries, soy jars, soy tins and votives.

The company said that its new mosquito-repelling candle line will be presented at the National Hardware Show this week. Bite-Lite candles will be sold by retailers across the United States and on the Bite-Lite website.
