You end up with a dish of melted wax ambiance, full of bug bodies that were attracted to the light. Meanwhile, you smell of Deep Woods Off spray because at least that shit works.
In case anyone is wondering, citronella candles are not effective at repelling mosquitos (especially in an open area), and may actually attract more mosquitos.
The citronella candle combined with a human subject attracted slightly more mosquitoes that the human bait person alone; however, this difference was not statistically significant. We found no indication that such candles repel Ae. aegypti females.
