I never thought these really worked but tried them again this year after not having tried in many and they appear to help. We also use lemon eucalyptus bug spray on the kids. Ended up buying about 6 of these candles to last us through the summer. So far we've barely put a dent in the first one. We're in south Louisiana - lots of mosquitos!

Got these a month or so ago, and they seem to last a lot longer than I would expect.

Conclusions: Citronella products are less effective than DEET products in terms of duration of protection. Adding vanillin to citronella oil products could prolong the protection time.

Looks like these contain nasty polyethylene wax. Great if you want to breath plastic fumes

Newer study....

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.

So it's not really 5 because you got to pay for a subscription. Any other good deals to get to $35?

I ordered these a month ago too.

The fragrance is very strong - like a very strong dryer sheet or laundry detergent. I ordered a few sets of these and the box is big that they come in. We had to put the boxes under our deck outside as the fragrance permeates through the cardboard box.

They burn nice and as others said - they last a long time.
