Five plants do most of the heavy lifting across our range. None of them were discovered in a lab. All of them have been keeping insects at arm's length for a very long time.
Citronella
The obvious one, and for good reason. A grass, not a flower — its oil masks the scents mosquitoes hunt by, so you read less like a target. People have burned it for well over a century. We just kept the tradition and dropped the tiki-torch smell.
Eucalyptus
The scent of the Australian bush, and no accident that it ended up on the campfire. Sharp, clean and unmistakable to us — deeply unwelcome to a mosquito trying to find bare skin.
Lemongrass
A cousin of citronella with a brighter, greener note. Common across South and Southeast Asian kitchens and courtyards, where its double life as an insect deterrent is very old news.
Clove
The heavyweight. Warm, spicy, and potent enough that a little goes a long way. Used for centuries far beyond the spice rack — one of the reasons our coils smell like something you'd actually want burning nearby.
Rosemary
The herb-garden staple with a second job. Its oil rounds out the blend and adds a fresh, woody edge that keeps the whole thing from smelling like a remedy.
Different continents, same answer. Burn the right plants and the mosquitoes go and bother someone else.
On their own, each of these is a folk remedy with a long memory. Together, on a slow-burning natural base, they are the backbone of every Wild Bunch coil, stick, spray and band. No synthetic pesticides required — the plants were doing the work the whole time.
