PICCitronella Repellent Coils (Set of 4) [Set of 3]

Actually works better than any other insect repellent

Lights easily and does the job of keeping pesky mosquitos away!Even helped keeping black flies at bay

they are excellent BUT the person who bring or transfer throw the package and some coils broke.

Work great. Some were broke though

This was our first year to try PIC mosquito coils and we will never be without them. We have been relying on Cutter foggers and DEET repellent for years, but it just doesn’t last as long as we would like and we get tired of spraying ourselves. My mother swears by Thermacell, but after a year of having her Thermacell we have to jack around with it for half an hour just to get it lit, pray it stays lit, and it doesn’t seem to protect more than a 3-5 foot circumference. The cost of refills are a little more than I want to spend too. We have a 10 x 25 foot covered patio, 10 x 10 outdoor kitchen, and 10 x 20 decked pergola in front of our patio. 1-2 PIC coils will deter mosquitoes in this entire area for 5-6 hours. We are sold on these. I bought two hanging birdcage style containers on Amazon to hold the coils and we place one in the pergola/kitchen area and one on the covered patio…. We haven’t even emptied our first can of DEET repellent on ourselves yet, and by this time of the summer, we’ve generally gone through 3 cans. This is a great product! Yes, you do have to separate the coils and there may be some broken ones, we just burn the smaller pieces when we don’t need hours of coverage… nothing goes to waste. I spent no more than 10 minutes separating the coils into a plastic container when our order first arrived, so we could just grab one as we needed it this summer. A lot more trouble free than a Thermacell, and cost wise, they are cheaper than foggers that don’t last as long. What’s not to like?

I’ve been buying these for several and have always been happy with them. They smell great and do a good job of keeping the mosquitoes at at bay.This last shipment, I bought four boxes and they all came severely broken; like someone took the package, threw it on the floor then stomped on it. They still work, but I have to throw half the package away. Very disappointing

Five star result: dead mosquitos!

We have used these many times and have been very happy with them but the last two orders we have used were basically garbage. The first ones were very dark green, stayed lit, burned completely, had a pleasant smell and worked very well at chasing away the mosquitoes. The last two were a very pale in color like cardboard, had to be re-lit every few minutes, were much harder and denser material and smelled like firework punks not citronella or anything else for that matter. I don't believe the last ones had whatever is in them to make them functional in the coils, nothing about them were the same as the original coils that hooked us as repeat customers and had us depending on the product. I gave them two chances but there is no savings here if they don't do what they are supposed to do. Sadly we will be moving on to another product. If you buy these and you open them and they are not very deep evergreen in color you just as well return them or toss them in the trash because they won't do anything you are expecting.
