So whether you're tanning or enjoying a barbeque al fresco, this item will give you peace.
You won't have to worry about bug bites or flies landing on your tasty snacks.
The 2-in-1 Solar Buzzkill Stick-on Indoor and Outdoor Bug Zapper is available for just £8 from B&M.
Designed to "keep those bugs at bay", the gadget is a hands-off solution to your pest problem.
Since it uses solar energy to work, you don't even need to worry about changing the batteries.
All it requires is sunlight to work, so while you enjoy the nice weather this handy buy will be working to deter unwanted garden guests.
It has a UV light to attract any flying bugs or insects before zapping them.
Simply stick the adhesive back of the product to your desired surface and enjoy your day.
A similar item is available from B&Q, but with a significantly higher price tag.
The Easylife 24/7 Solar Pest Repeller is currently listed for £24.99 on the store's website.
I tried 'magic' Lidl garden hose - you need to get it, it's perfect for summer
According to manufacturers, the product is activated by movement within a 110 degree range.
The buy is designed specifically to "scare away unwelcome intruders with a powerful blast of harmless ultra-sound and a piercing bright flashing LED light".
However, unlike the B&M item, this is not recommended for homes with pets.
It has been known to deter dogs or cats, as well as foxes, squirrels, rabbits, rats, and birds.
The ultrasonic pest repeller includes an adjustable setting to target either small or large animals, and a dial to adjust the frequency setting.
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.
It also has a flashing LED light and is recharged for free through its solar panel.
And for less sunny days, it can be hooked to your mains through its USB port.
You have the option to either wall mount or stake the pest repeller into the ground.
And B&M shoppers can pick up a £2 gardening gadget that transforms your patio.
The bargain retailer is also selling a Dyson dupe for £310 less than the real thing.

Millie Mackintosh's ‘comfiest jeans ever' hail from Kate Middleton's go-to denim brand
Millie Mackintosh hailed her flared 70s-style jeans the 'comfiest jeans ever' and they hail from the same brand that Kate Middleton buys her favourite jeans from Trying to find a pair of jeans that are comfortable, well-fitting and look great can be one of the biggest struggles when it comes to shopping. After countless hours spent sweating in changing rooms trying to find a pair that make you feel great, it's no surprise many of us find shopping for denim one of our least favourite jobs. However Millie Mackintosh might have cracked the code, as she posed in a pair of & Other Stories' High-Waist Flared Jeans on Instagram last week. She praised them as 'The comfiest jeans ever', and it seems the brand might be a winner when it comes to denim as they're also the go-to for Kate Middleton. Princess Kate is a known fan of & Other Stories' Slim Jeans (formerly known as the Favourite Jeans), which are notoriously tricky to get your hands on. The closest style available on the website right now is the Cropped Slim Leg Jeans (£77) which have a similar slim fit that The Princess of Wales favours. Millie's pair, thankfully, are much easier to get your hands on. Her High-Waist Flared Jeans are currently available directly from the & Other Stories website, over at ASOS, and at H&M, where they're priced at £87. The jeans have a classic 70s-inspired fit, with a high waist and flared bootcut leg, and the addition of two patch pockets on the front seals the deal on the retro design. The high waist keeps them comfortable and helps elongate your legs, and the wider legs makes them perfect for wearing with anything from sandals to boots, so you can wear them in every season. They're also made with plenty of stretch, which is what makes them so comfortable that Millie can't stop raving about them. You can pick them up in dark blue, as well as a light ecru colour, which is currently on sale at ASOS down from £87 to £69, and several other colours ways if you shop them at H&M. Other brands have also launched their own version of the 70s-style jeans, with White Stuff's Frankie Flare Jean now on sale for £52, down from £65 and available in sizes six to 24. Marks & Spencer also has the ultra-affordable Patch Pocket Flare High Waisted Jeans for £39.50, with a choice of three different colours and sizes six to 24. For a slimmer fit that keeps the same shape and style, New Look's Blue Patch Pocket Flared Denim Jeans are £39.99 and have a tighter fit around the hips and thighs, before flaring out from the knee. They come in sizes six to 18, with all sizes currently still in stock.
