Great value and definitely does the job!

I purchased 8 tiki torch lights for our backyard at home. 4 are around the pool, 4 around the fire pit. One whole bottle of this fills up all 8 of those tiki torches & they all last many, many hours. We get mosquitos pretty badly in our yard and I can tell you they want nothing to do with me or my surroundings when I have the citronella smoke going. I just purchased another bottle for when the torches run out of oil.

Pros
  • It shipped fast, packaged great. Would buy again.
Cons
  • The price is too high for the amount of product provided

Good stuff. best in my review

Product is fantastic. But the seller sent me a jug of it it with a striped cap. I couldn't open it. Seller disappeared. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • I liked that this lamp oil burned cleaner than previous oils that I have used
Cons
  • It's not effective in repelling all types of insects, such as flies

Stuff lasts forever

I made small tiki torches for my patio to keep mosquitoes away. Even had one lit indoors at a large table as people were in and out of the house bringing bugs in. It does not have any scent and lasts forever!

Pros
  • Still smokes quite a bit!!!
Cons
  • The material of the container is not durable and can easily leak or break

Mosquito repellent best in my review

We have been enjoying nights down by the pond but mosquitoes have been really bad. So having this citronella lamp oil has been a real help. Thanks so much

Pros
  • Burned well pleasant scent kept misquotes away
Cons
  • It's not environmentally friendly and contributes to air pollution

Worked great - my new review

I used this product to fill up lanterns for my outdoor reception. Kept the bugs away created cool lighting and no noticeable smell. I would buy this again.

Pros
  • Low smoke factor
Cons
  • The non-transparent container makes it difficult to gauge how much is left

Do you like getting oil everywhere?

I find it impossible to pour into a lantern or even a funnel without the oil pouring down side of the bottle and getting everywhere. Best bet is to refill outside.

Pros
  • It is a little pricey but it is smokless compared to the Tiki torch fuel.
Cons
  • The oil can leave a residue on surfaces and cause damage over time

Attracts bugs best in my review

So this is a clean burning oil, not much of a scent to it. Did not help with mosquitos at all. We were sitting right next to 2 tiki torches with only this oil in it. In the picture you can see little nats on the soaked tiki torch cap. They seem to like it.

Pros
  • Really nice oil, burns clean and keeps the bugs away.
Cons
  • It can be difficult to dispose of properly and may harm the environment

Very happy for my opinion

The citronella lasted longer than the 6 hours that was in the description. Had to distinguish a couple of them due to wind, but flies came back with a vengeance. Relit the candles and the flies were gone!

Pros
  • As the picture shows, I am making lanterns to use outside due to Florida's mosquitoes!
Cons
  • It's not as effective as other mosquito repellent methods, such as bug spray or mosquito netting

Definitely NOT smokeless

This is advertised as smokeless but I found no difference between this and standard type. Same black smoke. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Definitely looking forward ordering again ! Great value for money and longevity!
Cons
  • The strong citronella scent can be overwhelming and unpleasant

Good Tiki replacement!

Burns cleaner than the Tiki brand. Make sure and just leave a nub on your wick. Mine is barely showing through the top but burns as tall as the Tiki with the wick 1/3 an inch out. The cost is similar per gallon to the Tiki clear, but I like knowing what is in this and it can be burned indoor or out!

Pros
  • So far it is working ro keep the mosquitoes away from the pool.
Cons
  • The oil can release harmful fumes when burned

Burns beautifully in my review

I do wish the citronella smell was a bit stronger while burning but overall this product is great. It burns beautifully and isnt as smokey as some brands I've had in the past. It came packaged very well and did not leak. I recommend trying it out.

Pros
  • Smoke is less but not smokeless
Cons
  • NOT smokeless! No smell, seems to keep mosquitos away

Don't Waste your $$$$

Well I'm thinking this is a flammable oil/fluid right? Well its Mostly WATER! This Stuff will Freeze solid and Ruin your Containers.we had an early fall freeze and all of my candles (porcelain) Froze and Broke, as did the Jug it came in, well I didn't catch it before it unfroze and it leaked on and stained my concrete back porch! Stick with the Tiki Brand it doesn't freeze!

Pros
  • Item was as described and shipped quickly
Cons
  • The product can be messy and difficult to clean up

Love it, but. - my new review

Needs to be easier to pour. Tried to pour into a lantern and into a smaller container with a spout and it spilled everywhere. Love the product though!

Pros
  • its oil! what more is there to say. I compared prices and bought this.
Cons
  • The outer box packing is fine, but the bottle is leak

All the bugs laughed!

All the bugs laughed! They stayed close, continuing to bite, and taunt, as if invited to enjoy the nice ambiance of the warm torches nearby.I added more high grade citronella essential oil to the fuel, which helped some.If the only goal in buying this product is low scent, clean burning fuel, but not ward off insects; go for it.

Pros
  • Works well. Doesn't smoke and gets rid of the mosquitoes.
Cons
  • It's highly flammable, which poses a serious safety risk
