YOU can stop flies coming into your house immediately with £3.99 Home Bargains buy. We all know how the warmer summer months can mean that more insects come into the home. Advertisement 4 Insects such as flies and wasps are particularly active during the summer months Credit: Getty 4 Home Bargains are selling the Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen for just £3.99 Credit: Home Bargains But instead of potential chemical sprays and repellent, there may be another way to keep flying bugs out. It also happens that the item looks stylish and it takes just seconds to install in the house. Home Bargains is selling the Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen for under a fiver. You can stay cool and breeze through summer with the protective barrier for just £3.99. Advertisement READ MORE ON BARGAIN BUYS It features magnetic closure and lace detail which comes in handy if you don't have a tool box. No instruments are needed to install the screen, which means it's easier than ever to keep the insects at bay. The population of house flies is far higher in the warmer months as they are more active and they reproduce more rapidly. The daytime is when most house flies are most active as peak activity often occurs in either the early morning or the late afternoon. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous It may be an idea to keep food sources away from the window as the insects are attracted to them. This also includes rubbish like waste, bones, leftovers and rotting food. Urgent 'do not eat' warning issued for cereal In the UK, wasps are also most active during the summer months when their colonies are at peak size. In this period, they are busy foraging for food, feeding their larvae, and they build nests - which are difficult to get rid of. Advertisement This also means the activity of stingers is at its peak, so shoppers need to protect themselves, particularly from June until the end of August. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! 4 House flies are attracted to food waste so shoppers are advised to keep food away from the window Credit: Getty 4 The insects produce more rapidly in the summer months so their populations are far higher Credit: Getty

Students prepare for Leaving Cert in 'peaceful' Sligo library

For Leaving Certificate students, Tubbercurry Community Library is an oasis of calm. Throughout the month of May, around 35 students have been coming every day to study in its bright spaces and under its high ceilings. They love the environment, but also the sense of camaraderie that comes from working side by side with others in the same boat. "It's a very open space where you can get focused without getting distracted," Ben O'Brien told RTÉ News. "I feel like it's better than home because there you can be interrupted all the time." Cian Foran agreed and said: "At home the bed is behind me, and you just want to go for a sleep or something, you know." The library has another feature that the students love. It was among the first in the country to open up to users after hours through the 'My Open Library' scheme, which allows members to swipe into the library in the evenings and at weekends and to use it unsupervised until 10pm. More than a decade since the self-service facility was introduced, librarian Stephen Healy said: "We are at our busiest yet." He said, particularly in May, Leaving Certificate students are driving the use of the library. "It's peaceful in the evenings. There are no distractions," said student Evan Finn. Both he and Gemma Meehan especially value the sense of support they get from being with others. "When you see other people here studying, it kinda pushes you to do more," Gemma said. Late last week, many of these students were focusing on the English papers. The exams begin tomorrow with English Paper 1, and the second English Paper is on Thursday afternoon. In keeping with their peaceful and purposeful surroundings, these students seem calm and collected. It seems they are taking it all in their stride. "I'm a bit nervous but hopefully when it starts I won't be as nervous," said Erin King. "[With English] there's a lot of writing and a lot to know," Erin said. "It shouldn't be too bad," said Kian Scanlon. "All you have to know is the stories and poems, so it's not really too much ... just a bit of study and you'll get through it," Kian added. Most of the Leaving Cert students using the library are students at St Attracta's Community School in the town. Bláithín Lavin felt English Paper 1 "should be all right". For English Paper 2, she is hoping that poet Eavan Boland will appear. "A lot of people are, if she comes up I'll be all right," she said. In terms of study, Bláithín said she was "taking it day by day". Kate McCarthy was using a whiteboard to write out material she has learned off, as a way of memorising it. She feels quite prepared. "I'm definitely not stressing. Once we start we will get into the swing of it. In our school we do a lot of tests and the teachers are very prepared with sample answers," she said. "I'm not really too stressed about the exams. I'm mainly prioritising English; I think most people are," said Colm Conroy Kelly. "[With subjects like] history or Irish or maths I wouldn't be too strong on points, if I just pass them, then in my stronger subject, English, I should do decent enough and that should carry it," Colm said. "I can't speak highly enough of them," said Stephen Healy. "They create a great buzz around the library, and we always miss them when they are gone," he said. However, these students will be using the library for a few weeks yet. The exams begin tomorrow and run until 24 June. Aaron Duffy is another student who is taking things day by day.
