Mosquito Repellent Effectiveness Test

In our latest outdoor mosquito showdown, we put Murphy’s Naturals Incense Sticks to the test-no DEET, just pure citronella. The holder, designed for yard use, proved a clever addition: it kept the sticks steady, preventing accidental toppling while burning. Each stick lasted 2.5+ hours, offering a reliable shield against buzzing pests during our evening gatherings. We appreciated the subtle, natural scent that didn’t overpower the air, making it pleasant for both humans and pets. The setup was simple, with 12 sticks and one holder included, perfect for long-term outdoor use. While not a substitute for repellent sprays, these sticks provided a gentle, eco-friendly alternative. We noticed fewer mosquitoes near the holder, though stronger winds could reduce effectiveness. Overall, a practical solution for those seeking a DEET-free, low-maintenance way to enjoy the outdoors without unwanted bites.
