RESPONSIBLE IMPACT
We create products that help people enjoy the outdoors while making a lasting impact—supporting both our community and the world.
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.

Fantastic, I love the scent!
Lets 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.

GREAT FOR MOSQUITOS BUT ATRACTES BEES
I have a pretty heavy population of mosquitos around my property and purchased these so my wife and I could sit on our deck without being bombarded by the flying beasties. It worked great for the first few minutes, until yellow jackets started to swarm… within a few minutes there were 5 yellow jackets not only flying around, but crawling on the candle itself. Apparently bees are attracted to lemongrass, which is one of the most potent essential oils in this candle. Not sure if we will be sending this back or, just placing on a corner of our deck instead, but just bee warned.

Works!
These seem to work! We have a lot of mosquitoes in NH and these seems to work. I use their punks, too (think thatâs what they are called). We havenât burned through them. We use multiple in different areas of the patio. They burn nice! Made nice. They smell good (and Iâm very sensitive to chemicals and scents due to a mast cell disorder). I donât place them directly near us, off to the side, and they work well.

Works well for the average person.
This works well for pretty much everyone but me. Mosquitoes are always extra attracted to me so it does not fully do the job.
Kat –
Great candles!

I like it & read my review to reasons why!
I read reviews before I bought a two pack. I got concerned when a review said theirs melted in the heat when kept outside. Umm, NO! Maybe They had a bad batch??? 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!
