Half a candle

It’s barely half full. It’s probably only going to last one evening outside. Could be better.
1 reply from OFF!_Product Expert team - 2 years ago
Thanks for dropping in. We're sorry to hear that each of our OFF!® Backyard Citronella Scented Candle does not appear to be 8 oz. With each 8 oz. candle we expect up to 30 hours of burning. Additionally, as we use the latest electronic equipment to ensure our containers are filled to content weight on the label, we'd like the chance to talk and learn more. To do so, give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22553300. Hope to chat soon. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Good

Great product, just very strong smelling so don't sit too close to them for very long and be careful if anyone has asthma, it could irritate their breathing

Does the job

I think this works well in close proximity, it smells good and it's durable, left it out during rainy season and still worked great! I'd recommend.

Completely ineffective

Bought these for a camping trip and mosquitoes still bit us and our dogs when sitting 6 inches away from the candle. Save your money - use a spray instead.
1 reply from OFF!_Product Expert team - 2 years ago
Thank you for your feedback, Reese. We’re sorry for the confusion. This product is not registered to repel mosquitoes. Instead, it’s designed to provide ambiance to your outdoor spaces. For a product which does repel mosquitoes, we recommend OFF!® Mosquito Lamp. This product repels mosquitoes in up to a 10’ x 10’ area for up to 6 hours. If we can help further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22355066. Have a great day. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

Great scent

I found these effective for small spaces. May need more or larger buckets for open spaces like patio or porches. The value of a 2pack was helpful, since we have a larger patio.

Dont buy this

Does not work!! The mosquitoes were still flying are my door!!
1 reply from OFF!_Product Expert team - 2 years ago
We apologize for any confusion. OFF!® Citronella Candles are not intended to repel mosquitoes. Instead, they add a nice ambiance to your outdoor settings. If you're looking for an outdoor repellant, I recommend OFF!® Mosquito Coils, OFF!® Mosquito Lamps, or OFF!® Outdoor Foggers. We'd love to discuss this further and find the best solution for you. Call us at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT) and share reference number: 22350602. Chat soon! – Brooklyn, SC Johnson Consumer Care

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.

Good burn

I like the candles to last and this has a good burn rate. We have them on our porch and light them in the evening when the mosquitoes seem to be most active.
