The mosquitoes up here in da UP (the UP state bird) laugh at your citronella candles as they sink right in for a drink. If I'm going to work in the woods, I spray on 100% deet. Nasty stuff, but the only thing that really seems to work. If they're bad by the house, we just stay in the screen porch.
Now, out east (MD, anyway) the mosquitoes I've seen are tiny little things, and citronella might even work on them.
