Why sell this candle next to the bug spray items??

Would Not Recommend

Just got home from the store and proudly gave this candle to my wife since we enjoy our backyard patio but hate mosquitos. My wife laughed when she pointed out the small print about "not intended to repel mosquitos"!?? What the heck??? Ever since I was a kid my family has always purchased the OFF Brand bug repellents, so I am baffled why these candles are even manufactured by OFF/SC Johnson?? and why are these candles sold on the same shelf with the numerous bug repellent products with the OFF b...

Container broken

Would Not Recommend

When I got the candle home, I realized the container was bent slightly. I wasn’t worried about it looking pretty, so I decided to use it anyway. Little did I know the container was cracked all the way around and the candle leaked onto my patio table.

Kind of repels, wicks get hidden, best used as advertised

Would Not Recommend

These probably work best for parties as advertised, they put off some mosquitoes and Ive taken maybe 1/2 the bites I would without it, so it works *kind of*. For the first few uses. The wicks of course only burn a certain radius (physics beyond much control) so the rest of the "wax" (softer and more lotion-y than regular wax) stays unmelted on the sides. It's so much softer than regular wax that outdoor heat can melt it with no fire needed, covering the wicks completely. It's really just design ...
