citronella candle
Bug-repelling outdoor light
A citronella candle is a candle infused with citronella oil, burned outdoors to repel mosquitoes and other insects.
The yellow candles are a fixture of summer patios, porches, and backyard gatherings: We lit citronella candles around the deck before the barbecue.
Their effectiveness is modest—they create a small zone of protection at best.
