Murphy's Naturals Citronella Mosquito Repellent Candles, 9 oz, 2 Pack
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
These are 9 oz tins of soy and beeswax poured with rosemary, peppermint, citronella and lemongrass oils. The listing carries the Amazon's Choice badge and sits near the top of the camping candle category.
The pitch is simple. Light one at each end of the table when dinner goes outside, and let it run while the kids finish their plates and somebody starts the s'mores. Each tin is rated at 30 hours, so a two pack covers a long run of Friday nights.
Safety and fit note: this is an open flame on a table with young boys and dogs cutting corners underneath. Set the tins back from the edge, keep them off anything that can tip, and snuff them before heading inside.
The Numbers That Matter
9 oz, two tins. One candle per table, not one candle for the yard. Area repellent candles work close in and in still air, so spread them where people actually sit.
30 hour burn. Call it three or four hours a night and one tin covers most of a season of weekend use.
Soy and beeswax with plant oils. Nothing to refill, nothing to plug in, nothing sprayed on anybody.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| 9 oz, pack of 2 | Two seating areas covered, or one with a spare |
| 30 hour burn | How many evenings per tin |
| Soy and beeswax blend | How it burns and how long the tin lasts |
| Plant oil blend | No cartridges, no fuel, no spray |
Who It Is For
The dad running dinner on the patio who wants something on the table and nothing on the kids. If you need coverage that moves with the chairs or rides to the ball field, the Thermacell MR300 Portable Mosquito Repeller is the portable answer. For a hands off option running at the dark edge of the yard all evening, look at the GOOTOP Bug Zapper.

The Short Version
Two tins on the patio table cover the hours between dinner and bedtime without spraying anything on the kids. Thirty hours a candle gets a pair through most of a season of weekend cookouts, and they stack in the deck box when the weather turns.
