Summary of reviews
This product has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from guests who expected a mosquito-repelling candle but found it ineffective. Many guests reported that the candle does not repel mosquitoes as advertised, with some even stating it attracts them instead. The design flaws, such as wicks that do not stay lit and wax melting too quickly, further contribute to dissatisfaction. Guests recommend looking for alternatives that actually serve the intended purpose of repelling insects.

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!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is a great candle. The 3 wicks were perfect for making sure it stays strong and lit, and continues to work. It's a good value too! The 3-wick candle is not much more than the 2/1 wicked ones, and seems pretty strong smelling and seems to work better.

We bought these while in Port A for the patio the wouldn't stay lit longer than a minute. If there's so much as a small breeze they won't work. The only reason I give the one star rating is to leave the review.

Thanks for taking the time to review! There are a few reasons why your OFF!® Citronella Candle wouldn't stay lit. Despite the fact that these are excellent for adding atmosphere to outdoor settings, if it's too windy, they won't stay lit. After each usage, when the wax has cooled and set, make sure to cut the wick by ½" or less; this will ensure more effective burning. We'd like to speak with you further and have the chance to help. Call us at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT) and share your reference number: 22520070. We hope to hear from you soon! - Mindi, SC Johnson Consumer Care

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. One thing is for sure, this candle works! It is very strong smelling but it does exactly what you need it to do! It's a great size for the money as well! We have used it every night since we got it and it's made a world of a difference!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I liked the scent of the citronella. I used it in a small semi enclosed porch and it did a good job of keeping the mosquitoes away. I like that it has 3 wicks so that you can control how strong the citronella scent is.
Misleading advertising and unhelpful product

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The citronella smell of this candle is strong even before the candle is lit. The large size is nice for patios and camping. However, the product listing clearly stated both in the images and description that this product would help reduce the presence of mosquitoes. I was very disappointed to receive this product and see that it shows on the packaging that it is "not intended to repel mosquitoes". This is very misleading and defeats the point of this type of product. The candle wicks also blow out easily in any wind.

I'm very sorry to hear of your disappointment in OFF!® Citronella Bucket Candles. Because this product is not EPA registered, it is not labeled to repel mosquitoes, but it has been proven to reduce the presence of mosquitoes while providing a nice ambiance to an outdoor setting. If you're looking for an outdoor repellant, I recommend OFF!® Mosquito Coils, OFF!® Mosquito Lamps, or OFF!® Outdoor Foggers. We'd love to discuss this further and find the best solution for you. So we can, give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (M-F 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT) and provide your personalized reference number: 22519589. We look forward to helping you! - Mindi, SC Johnson Consumer Care
A Necessity for Summer Fun

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This OFF! Backyard Citronella Candle does the job it claims: "Reduces Presence of Mosquitos". Although it takes a few minutes to start releasing the citronella oil once the wicks are lit (the packaging suggests lighting 30 minutes ahead of time for maximum effect), the candle creates a circular repellent zone that mosquitos can't stand. This candle is a must for backyard activities, dinners on the deck or even watching fireworks from the beach.
Great for sitting on the back porch

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This OFF! citronella candle is nice. It comes in a trendy looking container. The smell isn't overwhelming. It seems to reduce the presence of mosquitoes as it claims. The large size and 50 hour burn time is nice.
I would buy it again!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review.It smells just like the plants I loved so much! I used it on my outdoor patio in summer, it kept all the small bus away from entering my front door. I used them in my kitchen to keep the flies away. It's great product, I am very pleased with it.
Love this!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I absolutely love using candles and tiki torches so having this product around my house is the best thing ever! We're able to just set it on the table when we're outside and eating dinner on our patio and it doesn't put off a lot of smoke so it doesn't bother us a lot as we're eating, but keep the bugs away so well!

Decreases bugs but not completely

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I love how big this product is. It lights easily and burns smoothly and evenly. I did notice a decrease in bugs when this was burning but there were still bugs that came in my area and on my body even though I was sitting right next to it. Overall works well for reducing insects but doesn't completely repell them all!
Great citronella candle!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I really like this citronella candle. What I like about it is the scent, large size, and how much it helps with reducing mosquitoes. In the summer, we get a lot of mosquitoes in my backyard, this candle really helped keeping mosquitoes away so that we could enjoy our backyard.
Pretty and effective!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This citronella candle was a lot larger than I thought it would be and really looks classy too. I am not bothered by the smell but the bugs seem to be! We didn't have any mosquito bites on our back deck while burning the candle. I think it works just fine and also looks fancy.
