Summary of reviews
The Off Backyard Mosquito Candle is designed to enhance outdoor ambiance with a gentle glow and citronella scent. While some guests appreciate its long burn time and wind resistance, many find it ineffective at repelling mosquitoes. The candle's strong scent and issues with wax melting unevenly are also common concerns.

It’s barely half full. It’s probably only going to last one evening outside. Could be better.

Thanks for dropping in. We're sorry to hear that each of our OFF!® Backyard Citronella Scented Candle does not appear to be 8 oz. With each 8 oz. candle we expect up to 30 hours of burning. Additionally, as we use the latest electronic equipment to ensure our containers are filled to content weight on the label, we'd like the chance to talk and learn more. To do so, give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22553300. Hope to chat soon. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

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

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.

Bought these for a camping trip and mosquitoes still bit us and our dogs when sitting 6 inches away from the candle. Save your money - use a spray instead.

Thank you for your feedback, Reese. We’re sorry for the confusion. This product is not registered to repel mosquitoes. Instead, it’s designed to provide ambiance to your outdoor spaces. For a product which does repel mosquitoes, we recommend OFF!® Mosquito Lamp. This product repels mosquitoes in up to a 10’ x 10’ area for up to 6 hours. If we can help further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 1-800-558-5252 (weekdays, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. CT) and mention reference number: 22355066. Have a great day. – Megan, SC Johnson Consumer Care

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.

We apologize for any confusion. OFF!® Citronella Candles are not intended to repel mosquitoes. Instead, they add a nice ambiance to your outdoor settings. 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.

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!

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.
These are the best

I like the candles to last and this has a good burn rate. We have them on our porch and light them in the evening when the mosquitoes seem to be most active.

These citronella candles are a must have for your patio or porch in the summer to ward away all insects so you can enjoy your outside space. They work so well! I replace mine every year so I can enjoy sitting outside! They spray is good to have as well but the candles works way better from my experiences!
Kind of a let down

I bought the bucket to burn on the table when we are outside. We still had bugs coming in to join our camp! I was hoping to see that when we sat together it would be nice to have a no insects around.
We just keep buying them!

We started out with the single citronella bucket but being that we live in a swampy, woodsy southern state and love to spend time outdoors with friends and family on our patio, we needed more than one and these get the job done!
