It's ideal for households that like to keep doors open on warmer days without the unwanted guests. The screen measures approximately 100cm by 220cm and is easy to install with no tools required. It features a magnetic closure that snaps shut behind you and a lace trim that adds a stylish touch to an otherwise practical product. The door screen is proving to be a summer essential for shoppers looking to keep their homes comfortable and bug-free without splashing out. Its low price and ease of use have made it a popular pick with bargain hunters up and down the country. Meanwhile, shoppers over at Aldi are going wild for a similar gadget found in the store's popular middle aisle. The Zero In Magnetic Door Curtain has been spotted for just £5, prompting a rush to stores as word spreads. One customer shared their find on the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook page, writing: 'Found this today in the middle isle (sic)! 'Was going to get one via Amazon for 12 pounds but saw this for five! 'Now I can have my door wide open without worrying about flies lol.' The post attracted dozens of likes and comments, with many shoppers saying they were heading to their local Aldi to grab one.

Warmer temperatures provide the perfect breeding conditions for insects, whilst longer days give them more time to search for food and mate. And whilst many insects are harmless to humans, they are a complete nuisance when they invade our homes. If you're desperate to throw your windows and doors open to keep cool, but don't want your home to be overrun by creepy crawlies, Home Bargains has the perfect buy for you.

"It can be applied to courtyard, patio, balcony, kitchen and front doors." Home Bargains shoppers have been going wild for the discount store's garden buys this spring, including an "absolutely gorgeous" highland cow figure. The £24.99 statue stands at two-feet tall, and shoppers like it so much that some have been displaying it inside their homes, instead of in the garden. 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 rechargeable batteries are included, so simply secure to your wall and don't worry about it any further. This outdoor light automatically turns on at dusk and is fully weather resistant.
