You place the candle in a pan of water and light the wick. Remove all food and pets from the area and seal up the rooms. You should use one candle per room. The burning will create sulfur gas. When this gas comes in contact with water, it creates sulfuric acid which will kill all insects, because of the water in their bodies. After about 8 hours, you can return and open up the windows to let the rooms air out.
