OFF!Backyard Citronella Scented Candle, Ambiance Enhancing Centerpiece, Burns for up to 25 Hours, 8 oz (Pack of 2)

These work well and don’t smell too strong. We spread them out on the deck and they seem to keep the bugs away well.

This citronella candle is adorable and perfect for a small patio table! It looks great as part of our outdoor setup and actually helps keep mosquitoes away in close range. Ideal for intimate spaces—plus the container is super cute and decorative. Definitely a nice little addition to backyard evenings!

Love the smell works great to repel mosquitoes, it has a nice decorative look very durable.

Finally, one of these mosquito repellant candles actually works. The smell is very subtle, but it's actually kept mosquitos away on my balcony, making it perfect for outdoor use. The product quality is good, but be warned it does burn quickly. I'm about halfway done with it after maybe half a dozen uses. I will definitely be buying this again when it's needed, though. Very happy overall.

I have been these Off Backyard candles for years. I buy them during the mosquito season here in LA. This has been my experience:PROS:1. Minimizes Mosquito activity - Citronella candles mask our scent from Mosquitoes. So this is camouflage from Mosquitoes. It does not repel them. If you light these an hour or so before going out, it would have enough time to circulate outside and make the mosquitoes move on as well.2. Pleasant fragrance - They do smell very nice and make your backyard smell great.3. Ambiance lighting - Great for outdoor parties as a table light as well as hide your guests from mosquitoes.4. Lasts a long time - I light my candles every day at dusk and dawn and blow them out when we go inside. So about 3-4 hours a day lasts about a week.5. Repels flies - I noticed that flies did not go near the area around these candles. It seems to repel flies. Mosquitoes would fly near the candles but would not bite us most of the time.CONS:1. Does not repel mosquitoes - Unlike DEET, it does not actually repel mosquitoes. But if you have a heavy concentration of mosquitoes, you probably should use this in conjunction with bug spray.SUMMARY:Yes, it works. But, you have to leave it lit outside for some time before going out. It does not repel mosquitoes, just hides you from them. It repels flies though.

I ordered this July and I just got it today and when I opened it the candles were melted and in one of the candles there’s no stem to light it!

Only one of the 2 candles worked. One of the candles would not light at all as the wick was damaged. Check the candles before you use them.

Great candles. Use them on the porch by a lake. Does it's job. To bad it was packaged with my gourmet Cappadocia. Citronella just does not go well with baklava.
