Melted completely not lit
The candle wax completely melted and the wick is gone. We used a knife thinking it was on top and nope at the bottom - candle is junk. Never even lit it.

WASTE OF MONEY!!!
OFF should be ashamed. These do not repel mosquitoes and the wicks do not burn properly! I have wasted at least $30 bc I thought the first one I purchased was defective. So frustrating!

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.

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.

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.

NOT a mosquito repellent
I bought these thinking they were mosquito repellent and they aren’t. It is such a reg candle for outdoors. It’s my fault, I assumed a candle from this brand would be mosquito repellant.

We're terribly sorry for the confusion, Selene. We did create this product as an ambience addition for your yard and you can use it in combination with OFF!® Area Repellents. We'd love to recommend one that would work best for you. Just give us a call at 1-800-558-5252, weekdays between 8 AM and 5 PM CT. Your reference number is 22079540.

Thank you for your feedback. We do not claim mosquito repellency on this product. If the listing online does, we recommend reaching out to Target's customer service. Take care! – Brooklyn, SC Johnson Consumer Care
