Horrible

Would Not Recommend

At first the wick was not even visable.. it was completely under the candle. We manahed3 to get the wick through the small hole. When we lit it the wick just burned completely without even burning the candle!! Waste of money!!

It’s Okay

Would Not Recommend

For the price I can’t complain too much, but it doesn’t stay lit very well and it doesn’t cover a big area. It’s not awful, it’s just okay.

Awful product, doesn't repel anything

Would Not Recommend

Paid $8 for this product in hopes to avoid using bug spray on my clothes when I want to enjoy my little patio. The product has been lit the entire time I've been outside and I've been bitten twice in the last 20 minutes with the candle sitting right next to me. Even as I write this review I'm watching a mosquito fly right next to the candle! This is absolutely the worst mosquito repelling candle I've ever used. Stay away!!! Do not purchase!!!!

Why so little Citronella??

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this candle for my small deck to keep the flying bloodsucking critters away, very ineffective. I can not understand why OFF would put so little Citronella in this candle, if we were shopping for candles to light the deck I doubt we'd be searching for OFF products. Please stick to repelling bugs, you're making a bad name for yourself now.

Burnt out

Would Not Recommend

I lit two different candles and they both burned out after less than a minute. The wick only stayed lit until it got to the wax and then that is when both candles went out.

Fashionable bug candle

Would Recommend

Purchased on summer clearance..3 wick Candle is in a metal bowl that can be reused after it is done.Lightweight and smells nice even when not lit. Tiki brand in a ceramic bowl is way to expensive and offers the same outcome; dead mosquitoes. I will purchase this again !
