Anti-Insect Incense Sticks

These Incognito Sticks Offer a Fragrant Insect Protection Solution

— February 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
While giving off a pleasing citrus scent, these Incense Sticks from Incognito also offer non-toxic insect protection.

Many of these kinds of aromatic insect repellents are powered by citronella, but this one wards off bugs with three different natural ingredients: parawood, lemongrass and coconut oil. Unlike many conventional incense sticks that have relatively short life spans, these ones are designed to be slow-burning and last for a span of about two hours.

There are now numerous products like this that are designed to slowly keep insects away by giving off scents, but this one is a lighter alternative that seems to appeal more to outdoor entertainers over campers. In a backyard setting, a product like this helps to enhance the atmosphere with a scent that won't spoil the air.
Trend Themes
1. Natural Insect Repellents - Opportunity for developing non-toxic insect protection solutions using natural ingredients like parawood, lemongrass, and coconut oil.
2. Long-lasting Incense Sticks - Opportunity to create slow-burning incense sticks that have a longer lifespan for extended insect protection.
3. Outdoor Entertaining Products - Opportunity to design products that enhance the outdoor atmosphere while providing insect protection, appealing to backyard entertainers.
Industry Implications
1. Home Fragrance - The home fragrance industry can incorporate natural insect repellent solutions into their product line to offer additional value to consumers.
2. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can explore the development of long-lasting insect protection products, catering to the needs of campers and outdoor enthusiasts.
3. Pest Control - The pest control industry can explore the use of natural ingredients like parawood, lemongrass, and coconut oil as an eco-friendly alternative to chemical-based insecticides.
