For just £3, the retailer is selling the Citronella Tealights in packs of 24.
One lit, the candles release citronella and eucalyptus, which helps to create a calm atmosphere and keep away those pesky nighttime bugs.
The candles are also extra hardy for when the temperatures soar, meaning they won’t melt too easily on those balmy summer evenings.
Each tealight has a burn time of 3 hours and the outer shell is aluminium.
Shoppers shared their thoughts on the product, with one writing: “Does the trick, bugs stay away whilst they are lit.”
“Glad to find these. Plenty of them to use up on summer nights,” said a second.
A third echoed: “Great value tea lights. Lovely aroma. Useful for dining in the garden.”
Dunelm is offering free click and collect on the item as well as home delivery for a fee.
Aldi is also helping Brits to transform their gardens this summer with amazing bargains.
The Solar Honeycomb Lantern is one of those deals that costs just £4.99.
It has returned to stores as part of this week’s garden Specialbuys, and bargain hunters are already going wild for it.
With its butterfly silhouette and iridescent finish, this clever little lantern gives off a gorgeous honeycomb lighting effect as soon as the sun sets.
The device, which runs on solar, switches on automatically when it gets dark.
Available in three eye-catching colours, grey, pink, and rainbow, the lanterns are designed to jazz up any outdoor space and add a little extra sparkle to your summer evenings.
The lanterns, which first hit shelves last summer, quickly became a cult favourite.
So it’s no surprise they’re causing a frenzy now they’re back.
Social media has been flooded with shoppers sharing their excitement.
One Facebook user said: “Would love to see them again — I got them last June and they were gorgeous.”
