How it all started...
US Navy Veteran and outdoor-lover, Philip Freeman, believed there could be a natural repellent that he and his wife, Pam, could feel good about. So, Philip put on his coveralls, lab glasses, and his signature ball cap and got to work in his home garage. Before long, he had an effective repellent product formulated with essential oils. He launched his company in his garage and named it to honor their poodle, Murphy.
Product Description

Outdoor Protection, Powered by Plants
Stay protected with Murphy’s Naturals repellent products, powered by plant-based ingredients like oil of lemon eucalyptus, citronella, and rosemary. Our DEET-free formulas provide long-lasting defense against mosquitoes and ticks—without synthetic chemicals or greasy residue. Whether you prefer sprays, candles, incense, or wipes, enjoy the outdoors with natural protection that really works.
-
What makes your mosquito candles different?
Our candles use a soy and beeswax blend with potent essential oils like citronella and peppermint—no synthetic fillers. They create a natural barrier against mosquitoes while burning cleanly for up to 30 hours.
-
How do the incense sticks compare to the candles?
Both repel mosquitoes naturally, but incense sticks burn for 2.5+ hours, making them great for quick outdoor gatherings, while candles provide longer-lasting coverage.
-
How long does each candle burn?
Each full-size candle provides up to 30 hours of mosquito protection. The mini candles burn for 14 hours, and the tea lights last about 4 hours each.
-
Do they smell strong or artificial?
Not at all! The scent is a natural, refreshing mix of citrus and herbs—no harsh chemicals or overpowering perfume-like smells.
-
Can I use these indoors?
These candles are designed for outdoor use only. They work best on patios, decks, and campsites where mosquitoes are a problem.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseLets face it, this is not an infallible method of dettering all flying pests. It's not meant to be. And yet it's still great at it. I've been inundated with flies given that I'm parked next to a garbage can doing repairs preventing me from moving the vehicle that I'm converting right now and also living in. I couldn't open my door without getting a bug flying into my van, And I have a mesh net too that I'm using to help. It's almost as if they were planning it with synchronized watches. Pop open that candle and I encountered maybe 95% less bugs, specifically flies my arch nemesis. It was honestly incredible I was so amazed because I've used to leave other brands especially ones that are more focused on citronella only. This was incredible by comparison. I'm in and out of this van all day long and you can see that I have on the left a UV thing that's completely full of bugs but it didn't get any more yesterday. So the UV plug with a sticky pad is supposed to be the safer one yet I'm using this candle and doors because it's just that good of a scent. The candle took care of my bug problem, and it didn't feel like I was suffocating me.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseThese seem to work! We have a lot of mosquitoes in NH and these seems to work. I use their punks, too (think that’s what they are called). We haven’t burned through them. We use multiple in different areas of the patio. They burn nice! Made nice. They smell good (and I’m very sensitive to chemicals and scents due to a mast cell disorder). I don’t place them directly near us, off to the side, and they work well.

I like that it is natural ingredients
Concerns:
I hope this works cause I brought it as a back up and I never tested it.
Kept or Returned?
Kept it for backup purposes I hope it works out. The scent is pretty welcoming and nice.
Thanks for your time and I hope this review was helpful.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024Size: 1 Count (Pack of 3)Verified PurchaseAlways skeptical about new products and take reviews w a grain of salt, but I purchased these for an up coming trip to "mosquito-ville" and thought I'd try them in the cabin/camper.
(Recently saw a camp hack where it's advised you use these INSIDE your camper to keep the bugs from even wanting to enter.)
I fired one up, prior to the trip, in my shop, where I have a huge problem w those "daddy long legs" bugs.
One night, I had them buzzing about a light and thought I'd try one of these in the shop.
I did
They were gone within minutes of me lighting one of these and placing it inside w me.
The oder, to ME, is pleasant and most predominantly is citronella, but not overly powering. I do smell a hint of the lemongrass, which I believe cuts down on the typically over powering citronella.
Again, for me.
I did buy a few more.
I hope this helps someone
Update; Did a road trip through Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia, etc and did the aforementioned hack of setting one up in my Bus each night. I got confident enough that it was working, that I would leave the slider door ajar for airflow with minimal bites throughout my entire road trip. It seemed to stop the mosquitos but there was this annoying little non biting, buzzing gnat that it did not.

I live in Florida where our heat index is of 100+ degrees & leave it outside on my patio table. It has not melted or turned to 'liquid'. It smells nice & helps with bugs. I literally cannot stand the smell of citronella. It will turn my stomach and this is a nice addition to my thermacells. I'm also on a lake & skeeters are vicious come Sun down! I say buy it!
