Aldi's £2.49 buy will protect your garden and home from swarms of ants and insects this summer
SUMMER might mean warmer weather and backyard parties, but it also brings the onslaught of annoying bugs.
As we start spending more time outdoors and in our gardens, it is essential to have the best protection to keep pesky insects at bay.
Now, Aldi has the perfect solution thanks to its £2.49 insect spray.
The budget friendly spray kills ants and crawling insects on contact, but also works to help against repeat infestations.
The German supermarket has had plenty of gadgets on offer this summer to keep yards bug-free.
It also recently sold a £7.49 Adventuridge Bug Zapper that can kill insects in an instant.
Its UV light lures in bugs before killing them instantly.
The lantern comes in two colours - blue or black - so it will match any garden furniture you already have.
Plus its built-in carabiner means you can attach it to a garden shed or gazebo.
While the bug zapper was only around while stocks lasted, there are plenty of garden hacks people can employ in order to keep ants and insects away.
One woman recently took to her TikTok page to shared her clever way to stop the pests ruining outdoor feasts this summer, and it's entirely chemical free.
The clip showed a cup sitting on the table, with smoke coming off it, as Dil explained she was shown the clever trick when she went to a restaurant in Cyprus.
6 ways to get rid of slugs and snails
"Little hack for you, a little bit of Turkish coffee and coal when you've got the barbecue on stops the flies coming around your food," she said in the video.
And while Dil used Turkish coffee - a finely ground coffee known for its texture - for the hack, you can use any ground coffee for it to work.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Meanwhile, another expert has explained that as well as being annoying, flies can pose a serious health risk - as they can transfer bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli onto food and preparation surfaces.
According to Pest-Stop 's technical training manager Sophie Thorogood, there are some tips to follow to keep the unwelcome guests at bay.
Firstly, it's important to keep your home - and your garden - clean.

Bottle brand Air Up sniffs UK success
A scented water brand backed by actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis is targeting the UK for expansion. Air Up, which sells bottles that make water taste like fruit and soda, is aiming to crack Britain following success in Germany. The Munich-based company, which is 1 per cent owned by the Hollywood couple, sells water bottles that can be fitted with scented 'pods'. These emit smells which trick the brain into thinking the water is flavoured. The bottles start at £30, while pods for flavours such as watermelon and bubblegum start at £5. While UK customers can already buy the bottles online, Air Up chief executive Christian Hauth said the brand was looking to stock its products in more shops across Britain. Air Up is sold in Boots and Sainsbury's but agreements with more major retailers are expected in the coming weeks. 'We're hitting open doors and open arms in the UK,' Hauth said. 'The main goal for us is to be as ubiquitous as possible and, for that, we need to be where the customer is.' Since it launched in the UK in 2021, Air Up has raked in more than £100 million in sales from British customers, thanks in part to a social media advertising blitz.
