citronella torch

Patio insect repeller

A citronella torch is an outdoor torch that burns citronella oil, used to repel mosquitoes and other insects.

The torches typically have a wick emerging from a fuel reservoir mounted on a stake, placed around patios, decks, and yards during warm-weather gatherings: We lined the backyard with citronella torches for the party.

The insect-repelling effect is modest but the flickering flames add ambiance.
