Wasps, Horseflies, Bees and Hornets

I do not know why it is that wasps and their yellow & black cousins can find their way into a conservatory, and yet not find their way out. What I do know is if you light one of these candles, they make a beeline (or waspline!) straight for the exit!

These trio of wasp, bee, hornet and horsefly repelling candles are also ideal for picnic - creating a balloon of scent around the food and drinks, sending the wasps elsewhere!

With the wasp population falling by around 80% in 2024, and the bees populations already struggling, we do need to help our insects thrive in their ecosystems rather than spray them with insecticide. These little buckets of joy do not interfere with the natural world, but rather simply create a space they don't want to spend time in - leaving you to enjoy your outdoors in peace, and them to get on with the busy jobs of pollination and aphid-eating.

Like all the candles made by Outdoors at Home, they contain a blend of essential oils giving off a lovely lemony herb-garden aroma without being overpowering. The little white buckets have a wonderful herb garden scent that are sure to help you relax on those sun-shining days.
