UCO Mosquito Repellent Candles - 15 Hour Long Burning, 20-pack

I love my lanterns. We purchased the one candle and the three candle UCO 9 hour lanterns. I'm sure they are great for camping but we have blackouts sometimes for days and these are wonderful. I feel that they are safe and the flame is protected by the glass. Who ever invented these lanterns used commonsense and I especially love the cup warmer with the 3 candle lantern. I purchased extra regular and Citronella candles for when I sit outside at night. Well made, lite but sturdy and easy to use. Oh, I even use the one candle for when I bake salmon in the oven for get rid of the fish smell. Again, I love my lanterns.

Uco is one of the best. Waterproof matches, hiking bowl and spoon kits. Camping cups. Great company always locked in. If the s hits fam will bring light and keep away bugs that cause illness.

These seem to burn for a super long time and the odor is mild without the chemical quality from other citronella candles. A great addition to my camp set.

Don’t have a real strong citronella smell. Do not work well for camping. Gave them 4 stars because they do burn a long time.

Replacement candles Good replacement for my lantern.

Ah, the Jersey Shore in spring, summer, and fall! Henry Hudson, British Pilot of the Dutch Half Moon, wrote in his journals about the "Musquitters of the salt marshes" a very long time ago. They are still as vicious as when Hudson was plying the waters. I have lived adjacent to a salt marsh since 1979. Bug zappers just draw mosquitoes from the marshes. Those were given to a neighbor by 1980. A couple candles burning around my back deck make less a victim of these creatures. Life is good with planning and a few simple supplies.

Not a very strong smell if any. I suspect it does not do much for bugs. It does last a long time.

I do a lot of camping...maybe 30 nights a year...and like my UCO candle lantern for a warm glow at night. The citronella candles DO work for mosquitos in the evening. I prefer that to bug spray. And they burn a long time.

Great product. Burns clean and for a long time. This shouldn't be your first line defense against bugs but having a couple lit up around the picnic table does help. Used them in the UCO candle holders for a MUCH longer burn. Roughly 11 hours on my test. Solid product.

Do not buy this product.

Se nota que por el calor, ya sea durante el traslado o en almacén, se deformaron todas las velas. En lugar de ser redondeadas, son rectangulares, lo que ocasiona que la sera escurra dentro de la lampara y no se consuma lentamente como debería. He tenido muy mala suerte con estas velas de citronela, compre otras anteriormente y las cuales fueron devueltas casi de inmediato al proveedor. Alguien de Amazon me dijo que probablemente fue en aduana que las regresaron. Quedaron de reembolsarme ese dinero como monedero para siguientes compras y aun no lo han hecho. Ahora voy a devolver estas otras velas y espero que me regresen mi dinero ya que no las considero baratas. Ademas ahora mi lampara esta llena de cera por dentro. Sera complicado limpiarla Es una lastima, La lamparas son muy buenas, pero deven tener mas cuidado con el manejo de las velas para que no pase esto. Creo que no volveré a comprar estas velas de citronela. Compre varias lamparas y velas normales extras para regalos y estas no tienen este problema.

I used this as a mosquito repellent. It works well and the scent is great.

Never had a problem with these or beeswax candle before. I always bought the 3 pack. This time I bought the 20pack. They have flat side. Probably due to storage in a warmer temperature. Not one has burned properly. Huge mess.
