Whether you're soaking up the sun or hosting a barbecue get together, this product can help to deter bugs from your backyard. You can pick up a 24-pack of Citronella Tealights for just £1.49 from Home Bargains. Breaking down to just 6p per candle, these tealights may prove to be well worth the investment. Read More On Pest Control PEST HACK The 68p kitchen item that keeps an annoying pest out of your home this summer According to manufacturers, these candles are "infused with natural citronella oil" to "keep pesky bugs at bay". As well as deterring insects from your garden, this budget buy can also help to ensure a relaxing environment. You can light up your outdoor gatherings while adding a sweet citrus scent to the air. Designed to burn for approximately four hours, a little goes a long way with this buy. "The soft flickering flame adds a touch of ambience to any setting, making these tealights ideal for patio parties or romantic evenings under the stars," the product description read. Simply place these tealights in candle holders or lanterns around your outdoor space to create a "bug-free zone and enhance the atmosphere". Top 3 Hacks to Get Rid of Moths The company encouraged homeowners to "say goodbye to pesky bugs and hello to relaxation" with these buys. According to pest control experts at Eco Shield, citronella proves useful at repelling insects due to its "distinctive odour, which may make it difficult for some pests to locate a host". It masks the attractant odours that draw insects towards us, making it difficult for them to locate their targets. Citronella also interferes with the sensory receptors of insects, particularly mosquitoes, disrupt their ability to detect carbon dioxide, heat, and other chemical signals that draw them to hosts. This creates confusion, hindering their ability to find and bite humans or animals. Tips for keeping pests from your garden Plant companion plants such as peppermint to repel rats. Place Garden Netting Pest Barrier, over your flowerbeds. Fill open-top containers with beer and place in soil to repel slugs. Spray plants with Neem Oil, to repel ants, flies, and spiders. Dust your flowerbeds with Diatomaceous Earth. Mix 1 tablespoon dish soap, 10 drops peppermint oil, and 4 cups water and spray on flowerbeds. Place eggshells around your plants to protect from slugs and snails. The specific compounds present in citronella oil can cause irritation to insects upon contact. When insects come into contact with citronella, it may disrupt their feeding or landing behaviour, discouraging them from staying in the vicinity. Shoppers can also pick up a £2.99 citronella torch candle from Home Bargains. You can also use soap and tights to repel flies from your home this summer. A budget-friendly hack can help to banish slugs and snails from your garden. You can also use a £1.40 household item to deter ants from entering your home. A 49p hack helps to keep wasps from your garden, but you'll want to act soon.
