If kept low, they help. For example, on the ground or floor where you are sitting. They are useless on top of a picnic table. The goal is to help prevent the mosquitoes or other bugs from detecting you. I used to be skeptical, until I figured out the best way to use them.

Order a few things for in store pickup you might need that gets the total over $35 and it will ship free... Alternatively order something for instore pick up then after the candle ships cancel the instore pick up... also free shipping lol.

Anyone know if these things repel midges and other flying bitey things or mainly just mosquitoes?

Also... pre-order an item that might take weeks or months to ship and cancel.

This is only a Slickdeal if you enjoy scratching your fresh mosquito bites to the scent of citronella.

Here are the findings of the study refering to citronella candles:

The citronella candle combined with a human subject attracted slightly more mosquitoes that the human bait person alone; however, this difference was not statistically significant. We found no indication that such candles repel Ae. aegypti females.

It also states the 40% DEET worked the best out of every product they used in the study. I was really surprised by that because I used to swear by ucalyptus based repelents. Now I will have to rethink my approach to skeeters during the summer.
