Instructions:
Dry: Ensure your cardboard egg boxes are completely dry and remove any plastic labels or stickers.
Break: Tear the egg box into small sections or keep it whole depending on the size of your metal tray.
Place: Put the cardboard into a safe, non-flammable metal container or an old ceramic bowl.
Light: Use a match to light one corner of the egg box until a small flame appears.
Extinguish: Blow out the flame immediately so the cardboard continues to smolder and release a thick white-looking smoke.
Position: Place the container on the ground or a stable surface upwind from where you are sitting.
Monitor: Keep an eye on the smudge to ensure the smoke stays in a very steady and slow-moving-looking state.
Repeat: Add a new piece of egg box every 30 minutes to see the change in the bug activity.
Result: Your patio will stay very quiet and your skin will be very bite-free.
Three Simple Tips
Add Dried Herbs: Place a few dried rosemary sprigs or coffee grounds inside the egg cells to get the best results for a very potent and extra-repelling-looking smoke.
Outdoor Use Only: Never use this method inside the house to see the best results for keeping your air in a very safe and lung-friendly-looking state.
Check for Wind: Always place the smudge where the breeze will blow the smoke toward you to make your shield stay in a very effective and protective-looking state.
