Do NOT place on composite deck material
While this candle most likely works as advertised regarding its capability to ward off insects, it has another problem about which consumers should be aware. According to the manufacturer, the wax used in this candle is slightly softer than regular candle wax and this summer, during a period of extremely hot weather, I had two of them sitting on my Trex composite deck. The heat melted the candles, leaving a very unsightly and oily looking dark spot on the deck boards that I can't remove. Even the manufacture said there is no way to remove this stain. Just posting this so folks can know this and put the candles in a place they don't melt and ruin decking material.
