Top 5 Best Mosquito Candles (**2020 Review**)

Murphy's Naturals produces mosquito candles which are 100% organic and free of DEET, a known toxic pesticide found in other pest control products. The candles include a mixture of citronella, rosemary, peppermint, cedarwood, and lemongrass to create a fresh but not overpowering scent.

Each tea light mosquito candle is about 1.5 in. in diameter and there are 12 in a box. Each candle should last for 4 hours for a total period of effectiveness of 48 hours (when the candles aren't used at once). One of the benefits of the tea lights is that it's easy for users to set up a perimeter around resting areas outside.

This product is entirely made in the United States and can go in small lanterns for easy carrying.

I recommend Murphy's Naturals to people who want something without an overpowering smell, that is easy to carry, and is verified to be safe.

The Cutter Citro Guard Candle is a large option that weighs roughly 1 lb. The candle features a wide base and sits in a bucket to stop the product from tipping or being pushed around by environmental factors like the wind. It also has a metal lid for extra protection.

According to the manufacturer, the Cutter Citro should burn for between 30-40 hours and contains at least 3% pure citronella oil for maximum effectiveness. It should be effective in areas around 150 sq. ft. in size but the best results occur within 3 ft. of the candle.

The buckets are around 5 in. tall and only have one wick on the inside. The entire bucket is made from galvanized metal, and it is possible to peel the sticker off to improve the appearance.

I recommend this product to individuals who know they will be spending a lot of time outside and want something that will last a long time.

The Repel Citronella candle weighs around 10 oz. and is supposed to last for roughly 20 hours. It is made solely for outdoor use and has citronella oil as its primary ingredient.

The product comes with a lid and is portable and easy to carry. There is no handle, but the candle is secure in a metal tin and easy to smother when the user is done.

This mosquito candle works best within 3 ft. of the flame, but some people claim it is effective within 20 sq. ft. The candle is roughly 4 in. tall and only comes with one wick. The citronella isn't as strong to the human nose as some other candles, making it preferable for some.

I recommend the Repel candle to individuals who want something reliable, simple, and portable without being too small.

Another great product by Mosquito Guard, these 12oz candles contain natural plant based ingredients including citronella ,peppermint, rosemary, cedarwood and lemongrass.

For being DEET free, these are pretty effective and give off a pleasant smell that has been seen in the reviews of many people who have tried these repellent candles. 

Lastly, these are easy to transport because of the easy to seal container. That makes them great for packing and bringing on any outdoor trip or to any recreational activity.

The Mosquito Naturals mosquito candles come as wax candles in mason jars which are easy to carry and smother with lids. Buyers can choose between lemongrass or tea tree scents, which mask the citronella undertones.

These candles burn for a maximum of 88 hours and come in 12 oz. containers. The product is DEET-free, chemical-free, and environmentally friendly. The wick is additionally lead free and Mosquito Naturals focuses on using essential oils as the main ingredients. 

Each candle weighs a little over 1.25 lbs. Since they come in a pack of three, it's possible to create a defensive perimeter to keep out mosquitoes and other flying insects.

I recommend this product to people who want something guaranteed to be environmentally friendly and long-lasting.
