Awesome mosquito reducer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It lights up super easy and doesn't take long to start smelling the aroma. I love the size of the candle and the fact it will burn for up to 50 hours. Its in a nice container so it actually looks nice on a table versus a cheap candle container.

The best mosquito repellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Off backyard citronella candle! The absolute best for keeping away those pesky mosquitoes. In a throw away container so once its fully burned you can just toss it in the trash can! Who wants to sit outside covered in bug spray when you can light one of these bad boys and keep the bugs away!

Repels mosquitoes and smells great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! Being from the south means putting up with mosquitoes every time you’re outside! While sitting on the porch, we lit this candle and were able to peacefully relax outside and not got bitten by a bunch of mosquitoes! Definitely recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very large & smells quite nice, leaning almost citrusy. it did well in our backyard, keeping the pesky bugs away for the whole time it was lit. the scent was pleasant but not too overpowering, i would buy the smaller sizes to bring on picnics for sure!

Works like it should
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This OFF backyard candle works good, it did help keep mosquitoes away around the recommended perimeter. If you have a lager space I would recommend more than one candle but for my small patio it worked wonders .

Great smelling candle for outdoor. Help keeps mosquitoes away
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Citronella candle is great for spending time outdoors. It has pleasant scent and help reduce mosquitoes around the backyard. I noticed few bugs while it was lit, although it doesn’t completely eliminate them for bigger backyard. Although a nice candle to have for summer nights outside.

Amazing successful product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always had a bad mosquito problem in our backyard, but our backyard is too nice not to use so we’ve just been dealing with it since we could not find a product that actually worked well with our kids. Once we found this, it became an absolute game changer. It does not bother our kids or myself and my husband. And it seems to keep the bugs away dramatically better. We tested it during one day, which is the worst of the bug and mosquito days as it obviously kicks the bugs up from the ground, and it did not affect our kids negatively, and I kept the bugs away from them for the most part. I would say this is an absolute success.

No More Mosquitos In My Yard!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is great, it has a light citrusy smell that is just enough to drive all of the bugs and mosquitoes away. I have extremely pale skin so mosquitoes seem to be attracted to me like a magnet, but when I use this it helps so much. It burns for so long, burns for over 40 hours. Perfect for backyards and gatherings around dusk or dawn to ensure most mosquitoes are kept away. Overall highly recommended!
