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.

Better for cool, windless, enviroments

Would Not Recommend

Really doesn't work well in hot (Arizona) climates, as the waxy portion melts easily in the heat

When I work in my garage I always keep the door open. So, bugs come in, but I use my OFF candle and the mosquitoes stay away.

Look Elsewhere

Would Not Recommend

Nice scent but that’s alll the candle has going for it. Bought this candle so I could enjoy sitting outside on my patio without using a spray on my skin all the time. Mosquitoes still land on me and bite even when the candle is going right next to them! Look elsewhere for a brand that actually repels mosquitoes or continue to use a spray repellent.
