Our take on the Citronella Bucket Candle

The OFF! Citronella Bucket Candle is an 18 oz outdoor candle in a round bucket with a lid, rated for up to 40 hours of burn time. It is a scented oil candle meant to add a warm glow to patios, decks and tables while citronella works to reduce mosquitoes nearby. It is not a repellent you apply to skin, and it works best as part of a layered approach alongside sprays or a repellent lamp. Owners like the look and the relightable bucket format, but ratings are middling: many say the mosquito effect is modest and the scent is strong.

About the Citronella Bucket Candle

Citronella Bucket Candle is a round, scented oil candle in a bucket-style container with a lid. It burns for up to 40 hours and can be re-lit for continuous use. It reduces the presence of mosquitoes and gives off a gentle glow.

It works like a normal candle and can serve as a decorative centerpiece on a tabletop, deck or patio. Lighting it before outdoor activities begin helps repel mosquitoes before people gather.

It is for outdoor use only. Do not use it in enclosed areas such as garages or porches. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and see the label for other precautions and usage directions.

Questions and answers

Does it actually keep mosquitoes away?
It reduces mosquitoes in the immediate area around the candle, but it is not a barrier. Expect modest help on a still evening, not a mosquito-free zone.
How long does one bucket burn?
Up to 40 hours according to OFF!, though real burn time depends on wind, wick trimming and how long each session runs.
Can I use it on a covered porch or in a garage?
No. OFF! labels it for outdoor use only and warns against enclosed areas such as garages or porches.
Is it safe around kids and pets?
Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and follow the label precautions. The flame and hot wax are the main hazards.
What is in the box?
One 18 oz citronella bucket candle with its lid. No stand or matches are included.
