Wood smoke contains an amazing array of chemicals, many of them

it, the bugs are killed by the heat but are prevented from reinfecting
by the toxins on the surface.

Perhaps I'm very green but what could be more natural than a wood fire?
Just because you see a plume of smoke coming off it is not evidence of
pollution.
The oil burners where you cant see a plume of smoke may contain much
more toxic chemicals that are invisible.
I am not a scientist but you cant go too far wrong if you stick to the
natural way.

I suggest you take your own advice and stop trying to talk so
knowledgably about things you clearly know nothing about.
