Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellent Candle

We test our repellent candles at New Mexico State University's Molecular Vector Physiology Lab. But what does “tested" really mean? It means that we don’t hesitate to get in the weeds—or in this case, a cage—until we get the results you deserve.

During our studies, the NMSU team traces mosquito movement either to or from a human volunteer on the Murphy's Team. As olfactory-motivated creatures, mosquitoes move away from scents they don't like, such as our candles. The most recent study concluded that our mosquito repellent candle successfully decreased human attractiveness (aka, the likelihood you'll get bitten) for up to thirty hours.
