Price's Candles Citronella Tealights Pack of 25

Bought at a good price these citronella t lights last quite a long time, give off a nice lemony smell and appear effective at deterring insects. The candles don’t burn very bright but do the job required.

I bought these candles to help deter the insect pests that always seem to arrive this time of year. For the most part they have done that, though a few creatures don't seem to mind the smell. I've not had any flies, wasps, or moth since lighting just one every evening. It's no question that these candles are repelling the moths very well -- we still get them in rooms without these candles. However Spiders (Pholcidae in particular -- aka daddy longlegs) aren't repelled by this smell, so these candles won't do for you if that's the problem you're having. Most spiders are usually fine anyway as they just sit tight and nom everything else that gets caught in their web, it's just the odd Pholcidae hopping about everywhere that get annoying. It's hard to comment on the smell as it's very much a question of taste. They do smell rather citrusy. Not quite the full lemon smell, but close and pleasant enough. They do last roughly 4 hours each. You can make each one (after the first) last a bit longer if you wait for the expired candle wax to dry out, squeeze the container to break up the wax slightly, then tip it into your next candle. That's rather tight to do considering the pack of 25 is only £3.50 anyway! Great value, will be buying again.

Smells lovely and very effective xx

I’ve seen citronella products for years, for some reason I assumed I’d hate the smell as my sense of smell is very acute. Last year we got bit worse than ever before. We were like all you can eat buffets for mozzies. It got so bad, once the light started to dwindle we’d make a sharp exit indoors, which subtracted from our summertime enjoyment. It can only be Likened to children going to bed way too early! This year we decided to bite the bullet and give them a go, to see if they really do work. I can confirm that they do work. We were able to sit outside until we had had enough. We noticed it doesn’t only keep the mosquitos away, it actually kept nearly all flying insects away. So, we decided to put one on in the kitchen to keep flies out. Hoping it would work, no matter how clean you keep the home, flies still somehow decide they’d like to come in when doors are open. We try to shoo them out before whipping out insect spray, but there are always pesky ones that refuse to leave, leaving no option but to spray them with the killer spray. We found we really like the citronella smell, so now we put one on in every room, not only do they reduce the number of flying insects immensely, they smell incredible too! It’s a win win 🏆 We intend to use these in the summerhouse also, the only thing I’m wondering, is, would it be ok to put one in my greenhouse? I have mesh on the windows to prevent insects getting in and laying eggs on plants. At times, doors have to be opened on really hot days, would one of these in the greenhouse be ok with plants 🤷🏻‍♂️It would be a game changer.

I found these rubbish. I've bought before from different seller & they were good but not these - no smell.

Good quality product, excellent value and plenty to last the summer. Seem to work well as an insect repellent.

Great candles for the price, they burn for quite a long time and smell nice too, i use them to keep away insects and they seem to do the trick! very good

Good product

Velas normales que huelen muy bien, en cuanto a si repelen mosquitos no estoy del todo seguro, lo que si es seguro que no me ha atacado ningún tigre desde que las compré, así que debe proteger frente a Tigres también. Un chollo.

Hält was die Kerzen versprechen. Sie riechen super, brennen normal ab und halten mir die Mücken vom Leib.

The candles came in time but the wick was melted into the wax of half the candles.

Le uso in camera con le finestre aperte e mi trovo bene. L'odore è lieve, non disturba, e sono efficaci nell'allontanare le zanzare

Excellent achat - Pas cher et efficace - Elles se consument doucement mais avec une flamme normale - J'ai déjà acheté d'autres bougies à la citronnelle en Hyper ou ailleurs mais elles ne se consumaient pas normalement - La flamme était ridicule et au final poubelle ... Nous les mettons dans des pots de yaourt en verre (une dizaine) - Sur la table de la terrasse et quelques unes par terre (car les moustiques passent par le bas si odeur par le haut) - En complément de bâtons d'encens à la citronnelle, nous n'avons pas de moustiques - Ils passent mais ne s'arrêtent pas ...
