It can be used both inside and outside, and while it does help repel insects, many people use it solely for its pleasing aroma. Bugs can quickly put a damper on your time spent outdoors, and if you don’t want to douse yourself in bug spray every time you sit on your patio, it might be time to invest in a few citronella candles. For an all-natural candle made from essential oils and clean-burning wax, consider Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellant Candle.

We also noted that the smell of the candle is pleasant, but it can be a little overwhelming if you sit too close to it.
