Keep those pesky mosquitoes at bay with our Citronella candles. A top note of lemon peel adds a boost of citrus to the lemongrass heart. Our citronella candles don’t just smell great, but help deter mosquitoes, too. Citronella candles are great for picnics, campsites, and backyard barbecues. This green and herbal scent is both refreshing and functional.
Get the most out of your citronella candles with these simple tips:
◦ Light early: Burn your candle 20–30 minutes before heading outdoors to allow the citronella fragrance to disperse.
◦ Use multiple candles: For larger patios or yards, place several candles around your seating area for better coverage.
◦ Place some candles on the ground: Mosquitoes often fly close to the ground, so placing candles on a flat, nonflammable surface around the perimeter of your seating area can help create a more effective scent barrier. For best results, use a combination of ground-level and tabletop placement.
◦ Keep them nearby: Position candles around the perimeter of where you'll be sitting rather than far away.
◦ Shelter from the wind: A strong breeze can reduce the effectiveness of citronella. Place candles in areas protected from heavy wind when possible.
◦ Trim the wick: Before each burn, trim the wick to about ¼ inch to promote a clean, even flame.
◦ Burn evenly: During the first use, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the container to help prevent tunneling.
◦ Burn safely: Always place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
◦ Store properly: Keep candles in a cool, dry place with the lid on when not in use to help preserve their fragrance.
Pro Tip: Citronella candles work best as part of a layered approach. Position several candles around your outdoor space—at both ground level and tabletop height—for the best results, especially on calm evenings. Citronella candles can be helpful addition for outdoor comfort, but they provide limited, localized mosquito control.
For stronger mosquito control, citronella candles are often combined with measures like removing standing water, using screens, fans or applying EPA-registered mosquito repellents (such as products containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus) when strong protection is needed.
