An insect repellant torch is disclosed. The torch has at least one repellant pad having an insect repellant contained therein that is dispersed by heat. At least one metallic plate is in contact with the repellant pad. The metallic plate is heated by a heat source and by contact with the repellant pad heats the insect replant thereby dispersing the insect repellant into the air.

1. An insect repellant torch comprising: at least one repellant pad having an insect repellant contained therein that is dispersed by heat; andat least one metallic plate in contact with the repellant pad;wherein the metallic plate is heated by a heat source and by contact with the repellant pad heats the insect repellant thereby dispersing the insect repellant into the air;a canister for fuel;a wick for burning the fuel as the heat source; anda wick tube holding the wick and passing through the repellant pad and the plate. 2. The insect repellant torch of claim 1, wherein the at least one metallic plate is fluted to control heating of the repellant pad. 3. The insect repellant torch of claim 1, wherein the pad defines a plurality of cutouts for controlling dispersal rate of the repellant. 4. The insect repellant torch of claim 1, wherein the at least one metallic plate comprises and upper and a lower plate in contact with the repellant pad. 5. The insect repellant torch of claim 1, wherein the insect repellant comprises lemon grass oil. 6. An insect repellant torch comprising: a fuel canister with a canister top attached thereto, the top providing a flame tube;an upper and a lower metallic plate connected via a central bore, the central bore surrounding the flame tube; andupper and lower repellant pads in contact with the upper and lower metallic plates, respectively, the upper and lower repellant pads having a space therebetween and surrounding the central bore;wherein the upper metallic plate is heated by radiant heat from atop the flame tube, the heated metallic plate heating at least the upper repellant pad by contact and thereby dispersing repellant into the atmosphere. 7. The insect repellant torch of claim 6, wherein the upper and lower metallic plates are fluted. 8. The insect repellant torch of claim 6, wherein the upper and lower metallic plates and the upper and lower repellant pads are circular when viewed from above. 9. The insect repellant torch of claim 6, wherein the upper and lower pads have different concentrations of repellant therein and the dispersal of repellant can be controlled by flipping the upper and lower metallic plates. 10. The insect repellant torch of claim 6, further comprising at least one heating tube extending from proximate the flame tube to contact with the lower metallic plate. 11. An insect repellant torch comprising: a fuel canister with a canister top attached thereto, the top providing a flame tube;an upper and a lower concave metallic plate connected via a central bore, the central bore surrounding the flame tube; andan absorbent pad containing an insect repellant, disposed around the central bore, and in contact with the upper and lower metallic plates;wherein the upper metallic plate is heated by radiant heat from atop the flame tube, the heated metallic plate heating the upper repellant pad by contact and thereby dispersing repellant into the atmosphere. 12. The insect repellant torch of claim 11, wherein the upper and lower metallic plates are fluted. 13. The insect repellant torch of claim 11, wherein the absorbent pad contains lemon grass oil. 14. The insect repellant torch of claim 11, wherein the absorbent pad is generally toroidal in shape and provides a plurality of cutouts around an outer periphery thereof. 15. The insect repellant torch of claim 11, wherein the absorbent pad is generally toroidal in shape and provides a plurality of cutouts around an inner periphery thereof. 16. The insect repellant torch of claim 11, wherein the metallic plates have a dark coating to increase absorption of radiant energy.
