Cliganic Mosquito Repellent Candle (9oz) | Citronella, DEET Free, Essential Oil Infused for Outdoor, Camping | Burns 40 Hours

I sit outside on my balcony almost every night for at least a hour, and I light this candle the moment I walk outside. My apartment complex is next to a swampy area, so there are definitely mosquitos— I had learned this the hard way prior to purchasing the candle. For reference, I am a mosquito magnet— every time I’m outdoors with a group of friends I tend to get 3x the mosquito bites they do. Since I started using this candle, I kid you not I haven’t gotten a single bug bite. I sit right next to a little outdoor coffee table on which I have the candle, so I can’t speak to its radius of protection.I felt lazy the other night and didn’t light this candle since I had only planned to sit outside 10-15 minutes, and it has been so dry lately I thought maybe mosquito activity was minimal. Lo and behold, I noticed several mosquito bites when I woke up this morning. If you’re looking for a healthy/natural way to repel mosquitos for a good price, this product is for you!The scent is okay— it’s not bad but if it wasn’t for its mosquito banishing effects I certainly wouldn’t choose it based on scent alone— every now and again I get a whiff of something reminiscent of hot dogs. As a vegetarian, it isn’t an enjoyable smell. As a whole, it’s tolerable though and you grow used to it.I’ll continue to buy these candles. Perhaps in the future they can improve the scent, but I’ll continue to buy regardless for the efficacy!

I used this on my deck nightly during the summer and it kept the mosquitoes away so l could relax and sit outside.

$20 for a tiny little candle is ridiculous. But, smell is strong and likely kept bugs off. I've been pushing the wax down after we light it because its not burning uniformly.

Smells way better than citronella and works great.

This candle works ok, if you have it sitting right beside you or on the ground between your feet. It doesn't emit much smell or smoke except when you blow it out. But it does burn slowly. Next summer I'll just use Skin So Soft!

This is the worst product I ever purchased. This candle was completed melted, (not liquified) it had to have been stored and/or shipped on its side. There was no discernable wick, the product was mostly on the outside of the tin it came in. It was completely useless and I felt insulted that the manufaturer would pass this off at Amazon to sell on-line. More so because I was the fool that bought it. My vocabulary is not expansive enough to think of enough scathing remarks without getting vulgar. I pity the consumer that buys this item.

Cute candle and I think it helped with the bugs? I think we probably could have used 5 of these babies the bugs were THICK!

These candles are smaller than I expected, but they last a long time. I usually can't tolerate the scent of citronella for too long, but because of the other infused oils in this candle, the citronella is not only tolerable, it is pleasant. We bought two more before our first one could burn out. This will be a regular purchase for us. Oh! Most importantly, the bugs and mosquitos stay away from us when this candle is lit.
