Key features
- KEEPS BUGS AT BAY — NATURALLY: Each tealight is infused with genuine citronella oil that mosquitoes, flies, and midges actively avoid. No harsh chemicals, no DEET, no plug-in gadgets — just a clean citrus scent that makes your evening pleasant and pest-free.
- 4-HOUR BURN TIME — ALL EVENING COVER: Light them at sunset, enjoy your evening uninterrupted. Each tealight burns for a full 4 hours — enough for a complete dinner outdoors, a garden party, or a relaxed evening on the patio without relighting.
- INDOOR AND OUTDOOR USE: Equally effective on the garden table, the kitchen windowsill, or the conservatory. Scatter several around your space for maximum coverage. The subtle warm glow doubles as ambient lighting — practical and atmospheric.
- 25 PACK — MANY EVENINGS, ONE PURCHASE: At 25 tealights per pack, one purchase covers multiple evenings of protection. Gold aluminium cups sit flat on any surface and won't mark your furniture. Compact and portable — toss a handful in your camping bag or picnic basket.
- ZUVO — DESIGNED FOR BRITISH SUMMERS: Created for the UK climate where midges and mosquitoes peak at dusk. Tested scent concentration means the citronella is effective, not overpowering. A pleasant background fragrance that guests actually comment on — for the right reasons.
