Definitely does what it's made for!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using this candle, it provided a bugles environment for myself and my company! The smell wasn’t to strong so it made it easy to still enjoy our food, kept the bugs away on a muggy summer night that I’m usually dying from getting bites from mosquitos. I liked the rate that the candle burned at as well making it possible to use it more then just once!

Summer Citronella Vibes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having an outdoor space where we can relax without the extra stress of bugs all Summer is a dream. Reading a book under the stars, enjoying fresh fruit or Summer treats in the evening was something we needed more than we knew. So happy this candle was the right size for our space and had a nice calm citronella scent to compliment the Summer vibes. We didn’t have any issues of the usual mosquitos and pests - so this definitely works like a charm. Now we need another to leave on our patio all year long!

Does the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While mosquito season and bug season isn’t so heavy where I live right now, I’ve always had good luck with Citronella candles and OFF!’s brand works great. It’s really helpful to have when outdoors and doesn’t have a bad order like some do.

Great buy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love using these at our home. I have probably bought more than 10 of them. Two of my kids are allergic to mosquitoes and these are perfect for our back porch to keep the mosquitoes away while we are sitting on the back porch playing games or just relaxing. The smell is not overpowering, and they are the perfect size to last for quite a while.

Mosquitoes will hate it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The candle does give a warm, flickering glow and creates a cozy feeling during this fall season. Recommend to lighted at least 15 minute before heading outside to reduce the presence of mosquitoes and gnats within a close radius with the limited in wind conditions. The citrus scent pleasant and subtle enough, not to overpower. This candle can burn up between 25 to 40 hours. However, it depends on the windy condition.

It works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent of this OFF backyard citronella candle is pleasant and smells fruity. It’s simple to use by lighting it up with the lighter. However, the wick is somehow in the bottom not the center which makes it difficult for me to light up. On the other hand, it does reduce the number of mosquitoes when we use it. It’s a practical candle, but needs improvement on the wick.

Sturdy reusable candle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used this candle over the weekend and it worked wonderful it helped keep all the bugs away. It was perfect size. It fits anywhere that you place it. It’s in the super cute packaging and I love that you can use it multiple times. It’s also super sturdy. It doesn’t move at all. What I love the most is that it prevented me from getting eaten by the mosquitoes.
