What Customers Are Saying
Customers are divided on these citronella candles. Many praise the pleasant scent and ambiance they create for outdoor entertaining, and some report reduced mosquitoes in sheltered patios and decks. However, a substantial portion criticize poor burn quality—wicks that sink or won't stay lit, uneven burning, and wax melting in heat. Several feel misled by marketing claims, calling them ineffective for actual insect control. While the fragrance appeals to many, recurring design flaws and perceived false advertising frustrate nearly four in ten reviewers, making overall satisfaction mixed.

Keep bugs away
I get a couple of these each year, they work great at keeping the bugs away. The smell is not over powering. You just light it, that easy. They last a good while. I keep them on the deck in the summer.

Great product!
Use this all the time in the spring and summer. I'm really sensitive to mosquito and bug bites so I always have a bucket on the front porch or back deck for when we're out enjoying the day!

Strong smell, great candle!
We recently bought this candle to light when we want to eat outside or enjoy a fire without getting bit. We felt that it worked pretty well at keeping the bugs away. The smell is somewhat strong but nothing that bothered either my husband or I which is saying a lot because he does not do well with strong scented items.
