New to the U.S., we are now
offering 100% Natural Sandalwood Mosquito Sticks
How long
does each stick burn?
Each 3 hour stick is designed to burn for 3 hours in the wind.
However, in most patio areas the stick will burn for up to 4 hours. Each 6
hour stick will burn for approximately 6 hours.
How many sticks are required to cover a
given area?
Place the sticks 3 meters apart.
Can the sticks be used indoors?
This is a very difficult question to answer. The primary reason for
labeling 'not for indoor use' is an APVMA (Australian Pesticide and
Veterinary Medicine Authority - formerly NRA) requirement for all insect
repellents. As most of the burning insect repellents are chemically enhanced
the APVMA quite rightly are concerned about them being used indoors.
Unfortunately we fall under this regulation. The irony is that if we sold
them as a scented incense stick, rather than a Mosquito stick, then there is
no requirement to label 'not for indoor use'. All of the ingredients we use
are from natural products, but the regulations bring us in to the insect
repelling arena and therefore we must follow the rules.
Is the Sandalwood used in this product a
sustainable resource?
Yes it is. New Mountain Sandalwood Mosquito Sticks® are made from
deadwood collected from the desert areas of Western Australia . No trees are
cut down to manufacture the sticks and even the collector of deadwood is
carefully monitored to ensure that the wood is not collected quicker than it
naturally dies.
What else is in the sticks beside
sandalwood?
A blend of natural,
essential oils.
What makes New Mountain Sandalwood Mosquito
Sticks more effective than other products?
We use 100% Sandalwood and it is the most expensive wood in the
world. The natural occurring smoke from the burning of Sandalwood repels
mosquitos and significantly helps reduce contact with mosquitos. There are
no additives and they are portable.
How exactly does the Sandalwood Mosquito
Stick work?
Place the required amount of sticks in the outdoor area 15 minutes
prior to use. The sandalwood will disperse from the stick/s and minimise
exposure to mosquitoes. When directions are followed you and your family
will enjoy the outdoors. Our Sandalwood Diffuser looks great in the garden
and also helps to maximise the function of the stick, giving you even
greater protection.
Why do most citronella products smell
terrible and don't seem to work?
These products use the excellerant called hydrocarbon as this helps
the citronella oil to burn. It is the hydrocarbon that gives the products
the harsh smell. Our product is 100% natural with no additives.
What exactly is DEET and how it can affect
people?
DEET is a chemical used in many repellents on the market. It should
not be applied to babies and toddlers or used by pregnant women. DEET should
not be continuously applied to the skin.
How effective are New Mountain Sandalwood
Mosquito Sticks® when compared to other products that contain DEET? Have you
conducted efficacy testing?
We have efficacy
testing conducted in Queensland (2005) and USA (2003) which shows the sticks
to be a proven deterrent against DEET based personal sprays. See our
efficacy data for results.
What would happen if my child or pet should put a stick in their mouth?
Nothing. The taste may not be that good but the sandalwood and
essential oils will not do any harm. Give a drink of water to take away the
taste.
What else can New Mountain Sandalwood
Mosquito Sticks do for me?
Give you and your outdoor area a pleasant, aroma. Sandalwood is also
fantastic for its relaxing properties. Why don’t you check out our pure
Sandalwood Incense stick range. These smell a treat and using different
parts of the sandalwood tree which give different aromas to our incense
range.
Are your products registered with a
governing body?
Our products are registered with the Australian Pesticide and
Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). All repellents must be registered
with this government body before they can be sold at retail outlets. A good
way to check a product has passed regulation is by looking for the APVMA
Approval Number on the back of every repellent product.
How did your product come about?
The management team of our sandalwood division identified a need in
the marketplace for a natural mosquito repellent that was chemical free and
safe around human and animal. The repellent market is full of products that
are chemically based therefore not good for children and babies or products
that simply don't work. The natural repellent properties of sandalwood gave
us a unique, effective product with a method of delivery that was easy to
use.
Other than repelling mosquitoes, what else
is sandalwood useful for?
Sandalwood is
therapeutic used to release stress, tension and mild anxiety. The wonderful
aroma is great for relaxing. It is a highly prized resource and has been a
very valuable Australian commodity since the early 1900s. Australian
Sandalwood – santalum spicatum, is one of the most premium species of
sandalwood in the world.
Sandalwood Mosquito
Stick�
have been developed using only natural ingredients. When burnt, the
naturally occurring chemicals in the sandalwood sawdust and the blend of
essential oils, will assist in making your outdoor living more enjoyable by
helping to keep mosquitoes, gnats, no-see-ums and small black flies away.
