And although the sun is undoubtedly putting a smile on many faces, hot weather also comes with it's own set of problems.
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.
The Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen easily attaches to your window or door frame, with the mesh screen letting air in, and bugs out.
It is priced at just £3.99, and features a chic lace detail, so you can keep a bug free home, without compromising on style.
A product description reads: "Breeze through summer with the Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen!
"This stylish screen features a handy magnetic closure and lace detail, making it a breeze to install—no tools needed—while keeping pesky bugs at bay!"
The Home Bargains buy is perfect for those keen to pinch pennies, and is £16 cheaper than a similar product on Amazon.
The Magnetic Fly Insect Screen Door is both "durable and detachable" and is built with a light weight material, making it easy to pass through the door.
Top Pest Control Tips for Your Yard
A description for the £19.99 product reads: "The magnetic screen door allows fresh air and sunshine to come in and keeps out the bugs.
"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.
Another garden buy fans of the budget store have been raving about is the Firefly Octagonal Wall Planter Solar Light which is priced at £5.99.
This item has been described as a "stylish and eco-friendly" fixture which "combines warm white LED lighting with a chic planter".
It is considered a "unique and practical solution to illuminate and adorn your outdoor spaces", making it the "perfect addition" to your garden.
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.
And it is far cheaper than Amazon's e U.saf Hexagonal Wall Planted Solar Light, which is currently listed for £18.90.

High street brands we miss the most in the UK ranked

Buying the latest outfit and taking it home in a snazzy carrier bag was a small joy that made the long queues and crowds bearable. Fast-forward 20 years and the decline of our high street has been inevitable due to the rise of internet shopping and Covid-19. Dozens of banks have shut in recent months, and brands such as Topshop, BHS, Debenhams and Woolworths are now a thing of the past. We all hold nostalgia around what we once loved about our high streets, and now, data has analysed the shops us Brits miss the most. Experts at Liquidation Centre analysed search data revealing the top-searched brands. Top 10 high street brands shoppers want back 1. Debenhams 2. Dorothy Perkins 3. Toys R Us 4. Cath Kidson 5, Thorntons 6, Mothercare 7. BHS 8. Woolworths 9. Miss Selfridge 10. Blockbuster According to the data, it appears that Debenhams is the retailer that most consumers want to see back on their high streets, with a huge 499,000 average monthly online searches. UK High Street Shops That No Longer Exist Boohoo bought the brand and its website in 2021, but didn't buy its high street stores, which eventually closed down. Fans of the brand may be pleased to hear that Boohoo has changed its name to Debenhams, reviving the popular 247-year-old brand. Unfortunately though, physical stores are not expected to return. Could the UK high street ever make a comeback? Sarah Fleming, spokesperson at NerdWallet UK, said: "The UK's retail sector has been hit hard over recent years. Recommended Reading: "The businesses on the high street that will succeed, will be investing in growing their online brand presence across the 'bricks and clicks' online search landscape - the ones that invest in PR, Brand, AI optimisation and social media. "It's why we're seeing such a resurgence in businesses capitalising on Tiktok trends: from M&S's viral launch of the strawberries and cream sandwich that launched in tandem with Wimbledon; to Tesco following suit and releasing a birthday cake sandwich after seeing the success M&S garnered online. "To survive, businesses need to think creatively, about how they grow their businesses away from the physical world and integrate with the online one to stay afloat."

'Comfortable' 4 seater garden set drops from £139 to £65 but sale ends soon

'Beautiful. Sturdy and comfortable than suitable for a smaller space.' Dunelm's huge clearance sale will soon be coming to an end, which has seen thousands of must-have products get their price tags slashed up to 50 per cent. Those who have had their eye on something will need to be fast as the event is set to finish at midnight on August 18. For shoppers looking to upgrade their garden furniture to provide comfortable seating for friends and family, Dunelm has a variety of popular sets available both in and out of the sale. However, for those wanting to save a bit of money, we have found the perfect set. The Dunelm 4 Seater Garden Dining Set usually retails for £139, but shoppers can now snatch it up for £69.50. This set comes with everything a household could need, including four chairs, a table and a parasol to stick in the middle so families can enjoy a meal without the sun's glare. Crafted to ensure full flexibility for your outdoor space, this garden dining set consists of metal furniture that will withstand various weather conditions, including the wind and rain. However, for times of the year when it is too cold and gloomy to be outside, Dunelm recommends using a cover to further protect the furniture so it can be used for many years to come. Along with its sturdy design, many shoppers have praised the chairs for being comfortable to sit in, which is a must for making the most of the warm, summer weather. Perfect for a warm coffee in the morning with a good book or dinner and drinks with loved ones, this dining set provides shoppers with more than enough space to entertain and ensure a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Alternatively, for those wanting to add a pop of colour to their homes, Argos has dropped the price of Habitat Cali 4 Seater Metal Patio Set in yellow. Normally retailing for £150, shoppers can now buy it for £100.50 in the clearance sale. This set includes a table, two single seats and a double sofa. For those looking for something smaller, Amazon has reduced the price of the URBNLIVING 3pc Outdoor Garden Furniture Set. Now £69.99 (RRP £89.99), this rattan set consists of two chairs with cushions for added comfort as well as a table. Back to Dunelm's four seater garden set, many shoppers have praised it for how comfortable and stylish its design is. However, there were mixed opinions on how easy the set is to assemble. One satisfied shopper said: "An excellent table chairs and parasol set. Found it very easy to erect and getting it at a discount price bonus. Staff where very helpful and Dunelm delivery were great can't say enough about the whole experience brilliant. Would give it more than five stars." While another five-star reviewer added: "Garden set absolutely beautiful looks lovely in the garden. It was easy to assemble." However, one shopper grumbled: "Lovely colour (grey). Putting the chairs together WILL test your patience and I have plenty patience for any flat pack!! OK for the sale price." While another customer commented: "Lovely patio set for the money. Hard to attach stretcher on the back of the chair without strong help is the only fault." As a few people noted about struggling to assemble the chairs, Dunelm has since added an instruction video to its website to help make the process easier. This can be found with the product images. On the flip side, a top reviewer praised: "Beautiful. Sturdy and comfortable than suitable for a smaller space." While a sixth customer said: "Very stylish, light and practical. Seats are comfortable for prolonged seating time. Easy wipe/dry. Excellent value for money." There isn't much time left to get the Dunelm 4 Seater Garden Dining Set for half price.

'Attractive' £100 fire pit that's ideal for long summer nights drops to £44

For those wanting to make the most of the long summer nights, a fire pit is the perfect option for when the temperatures drop. With Scotland enjoying another spell of warm weather this week, many of us are wanting to make the most of the longer nights before temperatures start to drip as we head into the autumn months. For those wanting to enjoy their outdoor space with friends and family well into the night, households may want to consider buying a fire pit. Providing extra warmth, a relaxing atmosphere and a chance to roast marshmallows, a fire pit could be a fun addition to your garden. And shoppers don't need to break the bank on their purchase as Debenhams has slashed 56 per cent off a popular fire pit in their end-of-summer sale. Normally retailing for £99.99, the Neo Black Large Circular Outdoor Garden Heater is just £44.25. Featuring a compact and sleek design, this stylish pot-shaped fire pit will elevate every garden set up. Made with durable high-quality materials that are weather resistant, this heater is sure to have cozy gatherings going on well into night. Along with a protective mesh lid to keep you and your loved ones safe, the pit also comes with a heat-resistant fire poker to help with log lifting, fire maintenance and extra protection while lifting the hot mesh lid. For extra stability for use in a garden, patio or while camping, the base comes with three sturdy legs. Another option on the market is the Argos Home Foldable Firepit. Dropped down from £50 to £40, this portable fire pit comes with its own carry bag for easy transportation. Suitable for charcoal or wood, this heater also comes with a grill so it can be used as a BBQ. Alternatively, for those not wanting to deal with building a fire, Amazon is selling the DONYER POWER Electric Quartz Patio Heater for £59.84 (RRP £62.99). This free standing heater can warm up in a matter of seconds and comes with three heating modes. Back to the Neo Fire Pit, Debenhams shoppers have awarded it a 4.7 star rating, with many reviewers impressed by the bargain price and quality of the fire pit. One delighted shopper said: "Brilliant fire pit bowl. Great size! Good quality! Great price! Bought in the sale! Does the job! Highly recommend!" While another five-star reviewer simply wrote: "A good size, easily assembled, and great for the price." However, not everyone was fully impressed with the garden must-have, as one person wrote: "Looks good, worth the money, only downside is the fork is short, when full fire and trying to lift on/off the cover." Homewares deal of the week Switch up your bedroom's aesthetic and keep those summer vibes with one bedding set from Dunelm that is now 30 percent less. The Darla Floral Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set has been crafted from a soft cotton to keep cool amidst the current hot spell, with the pink colourway included in the offer.

The super king has also dropped from £34 to £23.80. The duvet comes with matching pillowcases to create a seamless design. For added versatility, this bedding set is also reversible so shoppers can instead choose to flip the set over and enjoy a calm design that resembles soft clouds. Dunelm shoppers have loved the Darla bedding set so much they can't stop gushing over it, as one said: "Really pretty bedding. Feels great in the bed. Washes well, easy to iron, and excellent quality." While another five-star reviewer added: "Lovely sage green fresh colour brightens the bedroom up for the summer. Washes good low spin as can crease but iron well." Get the popular Darla Floral Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set for 30 per cent less at Dunelm.
