As the May bank holiday weekend approaches, many are eager to spend time in their gardens, whether preparing them for summer or simply relaxing. However, warm weather often brings unwanted bugs and insects that can disrupt the peace. Home Bargains offers a solution with its Outdoor Living Citronella Candle, priced at just £1.99, designed to keep these pests at bay.
Affordable Garden Decoration from Home Bargains
The discount retailer describes the candle as a natural insect repellent that creates a calming atmosphere while deterring bugs. Available in several colours, the candle suits various tastes. On its website, Home Bargains states: "Illuminate your outdoor area with our Citronella Candle, available in three bright colours. This natural insect repellent creates a calming atmosphere while keeping bugs away, allowing you to relax in your garden." Although the website mentions three colours, images show six options: blue, white, green, pink, red, and yellow. At the time of writing, only red was available online, but others may be found in stores.
The product description adds: "Our Citronella Candle is more than just a delightful fragrance; it's a natural insect repellent, helping you enjoy the outdoors without the nuisance of unwanted guests. The soothing glow of this candle is paired with the invigorating scent of citronella, creating a harmonious ambiance for your patio, garden, or any outdoor space."
Even Cheaper Alternative at 99p
Home Bargains also offers a more affordable option at 99p: the Outdoor Living Collection Citronella Candle, which also repels bugs. This candle comes in a cheerful bucket design with six colours: yellow, light pink, pink, blue, teal, and orange. Although sold out online, it remains available in stores. Its description reads: "Light up your outdoor space with The Outdoor Living Collection Citronella Candle! Not only does it create a warm, inviting glow, but it also keeps pesky bugs at bay, letting you enjoy your evenings in peace." It continues: "The Outdoor Living Collection Citronella Candle offers a convenient and effective solution for creating a bug-free outdoor environment while enhancing the atmosphere with its pleasant fragrance and soft glow." Both candles are intended for outdoor use only.
Premium Option for Longer Burn Time
For those seeking a more substantial option, Home Bargains sells an Extra Large Wooden Citronella Candle at £14.99. Housed in a rustic wooden bowl, it promises "long-lasting, bug-free summer evenings." The description states: "Enjoy long summer nights with this Extra Large Wooden Citronella Candle — the perfect outdoor companion for patios, decks, and backyard gatherings. Made with natural citronella oil, it helps keep bugs away while giving off a fresh, clean scent. The oversized wooden bowl adds a warm, rustic touch that looks great with any outdoor setup. Its large size means a longer burn time, so you can relax outside without constantly relighting or replacing candles."
