This works great I am in Love with this Citronella incense sticks. It takes a bit to light it at first, but after that the incense works great and the smells great too. We can now enjoy sitting on our patio in the evenings without having to worry. If there is a breeze, simply move it upwind from you & it still works like a charm. Good natural Citronella incense sticks Does a really good job of keeping, once it is fully lit. Because it is thick for an incense stick, it takes a good sturdy flame to light it. The scent is strong, but nice. These are really helping to keep them away so we can be outside all day. The scent is pleasant and light and they're effective. easy to light and burn well. Just be careful not to store them anywhere humid. Whenever I go out to do some garden work, I light these sticks and carry them around. When I spend some time at a location, I just plug them into the dirt and work.
