4 Citronella Gel Air Freshener

Product Information

Lavender oil is known for its calming and soothing properties, and its ability to help induce sleep. Although most essential oils have potent scents that can overwhelm a parrot’s lungs and air sacs, there are essential oils that are milder for use by pet bird owners, including:

Our Plugin Air Freshener provides consistent, long-lasting fragrance to any home. The user can control fragrance levels to vary intensity, with one air freshener plug in can lasts up to 80 days on a low setting. Dilution control: By mixing your essential oils with a carrier oil in the roller bottle, you can easily control the potency and concentration of your blends. For him, this is a good thing and spiders are invaluable – not least because they perform the vital task of eating hordes of creepy-crawlies that you don’t want in your house. Parrots have fragile lung membranes that are sensitive to intense fragrances. Consequently, when they inhale an undiluted essential oil as potent as citronella, they may struggle to breathe. Aerosol Air Fresheners Holland says spiders hide in corners and small spaces because they don’t like to be in the open, so keeping your home uncluttered and clean can help keep spiders away. “Keeping rooms organised and clean will reduce the chance of a spider putting up a web, and cleaning will remove the dust and small insects and food particles that attract the spiders inside,” he says.

Its strong antibacterial properties help to cleanse the skin and prevent infections. It can also be used to remove odors from fabrics and enclosed air. It is well-known for its ability to reduce inflammation, making it a valuable tool in relieving pain and irritation. There are many citronella diffuser blend combinations. Here are some of our favorites: Refresh Diffuser Blend with Citronella Essential Oil Each roller bottle is made of stunning blue glass, chosen for its ability to protect and preserve the delicate properties of your precious oils. The blue glass shields the oils from damaging UV rays.

You can add 6-8 drops to your essential oil diffuser with 100 ml of water to fill your home with its fragrance. Unfortunately, not all essential oils are safe when inhaled by parrots. Avoid the following: Peppermint OilAll candles produce smoke and soot, so keep the door closed and aerate the room afterward. Parrot-Safe Air Fresheners Promotes emotional well-being: The act of rolling on essential oils can be a soothing and calming experience, helping to alleviate stress and promote relaxation. The most prominent approaches adopted in the vector control are based on the use of chemical insecticides containing DEET ( N,N-diethyl-3-methyl benzamide), known to permeate the skin, and also cause allergic and toxic reactions on application, with odor that is unpleasant to some people [ 3, 4]. In addition, essential oils from aromatic plants have been suggested as alternative sources of mosquito repellent, particularly those from the Citronella genus (Poaceae), commonly adopted as ingredients [ 5].

Oxford says that if someone really wants to remove a spider, the best way to do it is to simply put a tumbler over it, slide a piece of card between the surface and the tumbler to trap the spider inside, and then let the spider go outside at some distance from the house. Usually, aerosol air fresheners comprise a blend of chemicals that give off a distinct scent, and in most cases, these compounds are entirely chemical-based and unnatural. Spider expert and enthusiast Dr Geoff Oxford, honorary secretary of The British Arachnological Society (britishspiders.org.uk), explains that just a dozen or so out of Britain’s 670 spider species have jaws powerful enough to break human skin and, potentially, inject venom. But he stresses they’re not aggressive to humans, and will only attempt to bite as a last resort – and even then, most authenticated spider bites produce little or no reaction.

How to Use Citronella Essential OilThis stress relief essential oil blend can be used for a variety of reasons. It contains lavender, orange, ylang ylang, and cedarwood essential oils. You can also add 10 drops to an essential oil inhaler and carry it with you for on-the-go therapeutic use.

To increase or decrease the fragrance intensity, rotate the dial on the top of the warmer. Largest mark = max setting. If using for aromatic purposes, add a few drops of oil to a diffuser and enjoy the benefits of the oil. You can also add a few drops to a pot of boiling water and inhale the steam. Cymbopogon winterianus, commonly known as Java citronella, is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, India, and Indonesia, consisting of citronellol, citronellal, and geraniol as its major compounds [ 6]. Java citronella oil has been registered in the US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) as insect repellent due to its efficacy and low toxicity. It has been proven to exhibit low acute toxicity in laboratory animals [ 7]. Furthermore, the oil extract has been adopted as an antiseptic, antispasmodic, diuretic, and febrifuge [ 8], despite its several limitations observed. This includes the characteristics of short-lived effectiveness, occurring as a result of the active ingredients’ high volatility [ 9]. Various studies have evaluated the mosquito repellent activity of citronella oil extracted from Cymbopogon genus, particularly C. nardus, while C. winterianus and its active components have not been extensively investigated. This study, therefore, assesses the mosquito repellency of the active components obtained from C. winterianus essential oil, encompassing citronellal, citronellol, and geraniol, against Aedes aegypti. In addition, its formula optimization in the form of an air freshener gel was also conducted to improve the essential oil longevity. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Essential Oils and ChemicalsThe best part about this product is it can be used anywhere - at home, before heading out into the world, or taken with you for on the go use! And as for using mint as a repellent, Oxford points out that several spider species, including the garden spider, often use the leaves of mint species as retreats in which to produce and guard their egg sacs, even though other, non-aromatic, plant species are available. Numerous studies have been conducted to explore Citronella's effectiveness as a mosquito repellent. It works by confusing the insects' olfactory sensors, which are used to detect the carbon dioxide and lactic acid emitted by humans. Safety Precautions: Made for ages 12 and up.
