Q:Why does it say not intended to repel mosquitoes? Isn’t this a mosquito repellent?

Answer This Question
A: Because citronella only protects the candle
by|Jun 27, 2021
A: I guess we should have read it more carefully, as citronella is always marketed as a mosquito repellent. The manufacturer is probably just covering for a product that doesn’t really make a difference.

A: Best of my knowledge. citronella is not a mosquito repellent. That is a common misconception. Cintronella candles are for "ambiance', as the product states. Use Off Deep Woods Dry Insect Repellent as directed along with these candles and you will have little or no problems with mosquitos. Enjoy.

A: Its said that a citronella candle only protects the candle from mosquitoes. Its a bit of a gimmick but they sell as it probably gives people some sense of security.

A: This product does repel mosquitos
by|Jul 16, 2021
A: Not just mosquitoes but it doesn’t repel most of insects around and it served more like ambience one rather than repellant.

Another sad story
One wick was accessible and functional. The others, no matter how hard we tried, could not be cleared of the wax enough to light. Not one time.

Complete and utter garbage
Used once. Once I blew the candle out and the wax was soft, two wicks disappeared. Candle won't stay lit with one wick. Tried to find the other, and made a mess

A waste of money
I used this daily for less than a week and all the wax has gone up and around the wicks. I can't even find them and I have more than half the wax left which now makes it useless.

Misleading
When most people see the OFF! brand, they usually assume the product keeps insects OFF or away from the area. HOWEVER, the packaging of the candle indicates the candle will NOT repel mosquitoes. Shame on me for not reading the package, but shame on the Johnson Company for marketing this product alongside of other repellents.

Complete Scam
Yes it says in small print Not Intended for Mosquitos but it is literally sold next to all of the Off products at Home Depot.
How is this tolerable, SCJohnson?
Never buying Off again. Shame on me for trusting Off and SCJohnson (apparently a family company that tries to mislead customers).

10 minutes the flies are gone
After lighting this candle, it took 10 minutes or so and then just like that no bugs on the patio. We had a table of 10 outside that this covered and protected completely even with food and drinks sitting out. Will be picking up a few more for the summer ahead. The photo attached is after the forst 3 hours of buring all three wicks the first night we used it.

Bad product placement
I was going to write a review on how poorly this is for repelling mosquitoes but realized by the comments and the description that it’s just a candle. So here is my review on a candle. The wicks are too small and the lightest wind blows them out. It definitely didn’t last the 50 hours as described. I had asked my wife to but a mosquito candle and she purchased this “Off brand candle” in the mosquito isle with other mosquito repellants. If it doesn’t repel mosquitos then it needs to be in the “candle isle” I wasn’t aware that Off made just candles. Bad product placement on someone’s behalf. It attracted more bugs than it repelled.

Why sell this candle next to the bug spray items??
Just got home from the store and proudly gave this candle to my wife since we enjoy our backyard patio but hate mosquitos. My wife laughed when she pointed out the small print about "not intended to repel mosquitos"!?? What the heck??? Ever since I was a kid my family has always purchased the OFF Brand bug repellents, so I am baffled why these candles are even manufactured by OFF/SC Johnson?? and why are these candles sold on the same shelf with the numerous bug repellent products with the OFF branding?? Very disappointed SC Johnson!

Kind of repels, wicks get hidden, best used as advertised
These probably work best for parties as advertised, they put off some mosquitoes and Ive taken maybe 1/2 the bites I would without it, so it works *kind of*. For the first few uses. The wicks of course only burn a certain radius (physics beyond much control) so the rest of the "wax" (softer and more lotion-y than regular wax) stays unmelted on the sides. It's so much softer than regular wax that outdoor heat can melt it with no fire needed, covering the wicks completely. It's really just design failure as far as I can tell. If you do get these, only get them for parties or events as advertised and keep them indoors when not in use so the rest of the wax doesnt cover the wicks.
