KEEP BUGS AT BAY
Treat your lawn with an all-purpose lawn spray labeled for use against mosquitoes, like Cutter Backyard Bug Control products, to create a barrier against biting bugs.
Use a patio repellent around your deck or outdoor gathering area to create a zone of mosquito protection while you’re spending time outdoors. Easy-to-use Cutter CitroGuard Candles use the repelling properties of citronella oil to repel mosquitoes and other flying bugs for hours.
Use a personal insect repellent as a reliable line of defense against biting bugs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using a repellent, with DEET, Picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus, as a highly effective way to minimize your risk of mosquito bites.

Thought I was getting a 2 pk at the price north of $15? That’s what I get for assuming, shrinkflation I guess, however staying positive. Hopefully this works, the effects of deet are cancerous and this candle should do the job of keeping my wife safe. However, if I was a mosquito, no candle and no amount of deet (spray)would keep me away from her, just being Onest , lol

It seemed like a good deal at the time. More attractive than the "bucket" version, slightly bigger I think, and at the time I jumped on it because it was cheaper. The pros kind of ended there...
First of all, the label. Of course I'd want to take that off before lighting it and getting it hot. But instead of using any sort of friendly adhesive, the label ripped off leaving adhesive and paper and generally looking terrible. Taking a label off of something like this should not be a project, so I just left it. I had bugs to repel.
3 wicks. Ok. That might result in a better burn in this wider tapered fatter-at-the-bottom container, but it's a pain to light.
Now for the best part. Those pretty decorative holes that make this that much more attractive? Yeah, if you have any kind of breeze at all, this thing is blowing out.
As for the citronella - works great. Love the smell and it works well (if you can keep it burning). The mosquitoes around my place are pretty rabid right now and will bite me through a PUDDLE of 99% deet spray. Seriously. I've seen it happen. Any potential advantage is a plus. I've also noticed this works well on flies. With the summer heat, I've been cooking on an induction cooktop outdoors, especially for long simmers cooking down tomato sauce for canning. The flies swarm in, but a citronella candle makes an immediate noticeable difference, and this one has done the job (when it stays lit).
As the candle burns down some, away from the holes around the side, it will probably stay lit better. I think this thing actually starts with sort of a handicap because the short wicks were put out by the wax. The first time I burned it, I had to put it out and "roll" the wax around to stick to the sides so there would be enough wick sticking out to stay burning.
I'm a big fan of citronella (candles and plants!) and the Cutter candles are plenty strong to do the job. But this is one of those products where you have to ask yourself, "Did any of their R&D people actually try to USE this? Outside, where there are insects? And wind?"
This item looks nice, and I'll use it until it's gone. But unless something obviously changes, I'll go back to the "bucket" candle - which, I might add, has the handy lid to put it out. The instructions on this candle actually tell you NOT to blow it out and to use a snuffer (like you can keep it burning...). Some sort of tapered "cap" would be awesome, even if it was just something ugly and plastic that didn't match the metal candle. This is pretty to look at, but the "bucket" version is way better functionally.
