Effectiveness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not the best out there but gets the job done for the most part. It takes about 20 minutes for it to activate but once it does it works pretty well. Also doesn't have a strong odor.

Good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Design: The candle comes in a sturdy metal bucket with a simple, attractive design that looks great on a patio table. Duration: It burns evenly and lasts a long time, making it suitable for multiple outdoor evenings. Weight: The candle feels solid and substantial, so it stays stable even in light wind. Storage: Easy to store with the lid on. Keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from softening or melting. Smoke: Produces minimal smoke when the wick is trimmed properly, with a pleasant citronella scent that isn't overpowering.

Better for small spaces
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The candle worked for a while but it doesn’t work at well as I hoped! It it’s huge but it was expensive it didn’t end you coving the cost completely! I’d say don’t leave in reach of kids it’s hazardous

Alright but need more than one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did still see mosquitoes flying around us but it probably deterred them a little bit. I didn’t get bit when sitting out with this but my husband still did. I think maybe just need a few more of these around and some tiki torches and the combo would be good. Smell is fine.

Practical mosquito repellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive been a fan of OFF! I loved using the citronella candle, it provides an ambiance and practical use to keep mosquitoes away. The burn is slow and steady, has a strong fragrance but not to potent in a bad way. I was able to use it midday/afternoon at the peak mosquito hour in the Central Valley- I was able to see the mosquitos out and about but non landed on me/ near me. It was easy to use too, there is no difficulty opening package and the style of the candle is modern and color is neutral. 10/10

Good for small outdoor space there keeps mosquitoes away
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using off backyard Citronella candle during evenings outside in my backyard and my front yard and it’s definitely help reduce mosquitoes in my area I must say the small is a bit strong at first but it gets better as it settles I think it works best when there’s some airflow or some wind to help spread smell around it’s good value easy to set up last for a couple uses up to 40 hours best for small gatherings on patios backyard it’s big and it lasts long. The wax is very smooth. The scent throws me alphabet because it’s a little strong but that’s it still does Good keep mosquitoes away

Keeps the mosquitos away
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This candle is supper easy to use! It’s great for the mosquito season. The container is nice and durable. It can burn for hours. It really works to keep the mosquitos away and you don’t smell it while it’s burning.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked pretty well in our backyard. There is definitely a citronella smell but it’s not too overpowering. Great easy way to help prevent bugs in yard! And so easy to move it around when you change locations.

Hands down best Citronella Candle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The OFF Backyard Citronella Candle is hands down the best citronella candle I’ve ever tried. The citronella scent is strong even before you light it. Once it’s burning, it’s perfect for enjoying time outside. It burns evenly, lasts for hours, and has become a must-have for my deck all summer long.

Awesomeness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took this bad boy up to camp with us. Wow doesn’t work well! We had no issues with bugs annoying us and it was pretty gross out too so they were out there! Flame stays nice and even doesn’t get too high at all and it smells lovely! This candle is huge! It will last for a few burns for sure! It’s pretty too I love how this looks on the porch!

Easy repellant
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh, my gosh, this candle really came in handy.We all sat out front and didn't get bit by any bugs or mosquitoes.For once. Summer time can be tedious to sit outside especially near pools flys at day mosquitoes at night. Very affordable, easy to light. Smells like lemon lime, i think we need a couple around the house.

Actually Works!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleasantly surprised with this candle. This is the first citronella candle I've gotten that is super strong! You can actually note that difference once you turn it on. While it may not deter 100% of mosquitos, I am more than happy with the 90% that it does (not an exaggeration!). I've been using it every night since I picked it up, and I have only gotten bit twice. I had about 9 bites on me the week prior 😵💫 I will have to continue buying this product to enjoy my patio this summer!

it works
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's excellent repellant and nice smell compared to others. It does help keep the mosquitos away. I just wish it did not blow out in the wind so easily.

Reduces mosquitoes on the patio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been happy with this citronella candle for creating a more relaxing evening on my patio. It burns evenly and lasts a long time. The citronella smell is noticeable but not overwhelming. The container is durable enough to move around as needed. It definitely creates a more comfortable environment but doesn't eliminate mosquitoes completely.
