If you're unable to get your hands on Lidl's Livarno Home Cylindrical Electric Insect Killer, don't worry - there are plenty of natural ways to keep those pesky bugs away while you relax outside this summer.
One of the easiest and most effective methods is using essential oils.
These oils are a fantastic natural alternative for repelling insects. You can create your own bug-repellent spray by diluting essential oils with water, then spraying it around your garden and patio to keep bugs at bay.
Peppermint oil works wonders for keeping ants, spiders, beetles and flies away. Not only does it act as a natural insecticide, but it also has a refreshing scent that won't overwhelm you with harsh chemical smells.
Similarly citronella oil is a highly popular choice, especially when it comes to mosquitoes.
You can either use a diluted spray, or a citronella candle. Placing the candle in the middle of your outdoor table, not only adds a pleasant glow but it's also effective for keeping mosquitoes away.

Six dead after plane plunges into sea after San Diego takeoff
The twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed soon after taking off in San Diego, with six people confirmed dead, the Federal Aviation Administration said, with wreckage found five miles out to sea. A small private plane has crashed into the Pacific Ocean just minutes after takeoff from San Diego, confirmed the Federation Aviation Administration on Cessna 414 went down around 12.30pm on Sunday, with its last known flight being a return trip to Pheonix, records show, reports the Mirror. The U.S. Coast Guard reported discovering the wreckage about five miles off the coast from the Point Loma area of San Diego, in waters estimated to be around 200 feet deep. Despite confirmation of the deaths, the identities of those on board have not yet been released. Linked to vitamin giant Optimal Health System via FAA records, the plane was reportedly sold earlier in 2023 according to the company located in Pima, Arizona, potentially indicating outdated registry information. Optimal Health's founder Doug Grant expressed his devastation in an official statement, saying "We personally know several of the passengers onboard and our sincerest condolences are offered to those affected by the tragedy, all of whom are incredible members of our small community." The cause of the crash is now under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, which has not yet shared any findings. Audio from captured the pilot's final, desperate moments. He reported having trouble keeping the plane steady - struggling with both altitude and direction. At one point, an air traffic controller urged him to climb to 4,000 feet as the plane dropped to a dangerously low 1,000 feet. The pilot tried to make an emergency landing at the naval airport on Coronado Island but couldn't locate the runway. A series of frantic 'Mayday' calls followed before the plane vanished from radar.

Surfer Tyson Wislofsky witnessed the harrowing scene unfold from the waves, telling NBC 7 in San Diego he saw the aircraft plunge into the ocean after a brief climb. "The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. "But after I saw this splash, about six seconds later, it was dead silent. I knew that they went in the water, nose first, at a high speed," he recounted. This tragic incident follows closely on the heels of another aviation disaster where a small Cessna met its end in a San Diego neighbourhood amidst foggy conditions, claiming six lives.

He received the British Empire Medal in 1962 and an OBE for services to mountaineering in 1979.

Princess Anne spotted in Edinburgh for unveiling of monument for late Queen
The bronze bronze medallion depicting Queen Elizabeth II was unveiled on Saturday. Princess Anne has been spotted in Edinburgh as she commemorated the unveiling of a new monument honouring the late Queen. The Princess Royal was seen in Princes Street Gardens as she unveiled the bronze medallion depicting Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday. It is a final addition to the The Royal Scots Monument. The monument, originally opened on July 26, 1952, commemorates the service by The Royal Scots to 16 monarchs from its founding in 1633 under a Royal Warrant from King Charles I. The additional medallion marks the final monarch under whom the Regiment served. Edinburgh Live reports Princess Anne, accompanied by Robert Aldridge, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, was met by Major General Robert Bruce, the governor of Edinburgh Castle, among other prominent figures. The unveiling was attended by many former Royal Scots and their families as well as members of The Royal Scots Club and representatives of the City of Edinburgh Council. A service of dedication was conducted by Reverend Dr Iain May, Chaplain to The Royal Scots Regimental Association. In 2007, Princess Anne unveiled an addition to the monument to mark the Regiment's amalgamation, the final chapter in its history, and to acknowledge and commemorate the Regiment's 373 years of service. Brigadier George Lowder, Chair of the Regimental Trustees, said: ' The Royal Scots have always been, and continue to be, very proud of their long service to Crown and country which is commemorated on this monument. "Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the last Sovereign under whom the Regiment served, appointed HRH The Princess Royal to be Colonel in Chief of The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment) in 1983. "We have been greatly honoured, therefore, that The Princess Royal, whose long and continued connection with the Regiment we cherish, has unveiled this final addition to our monument today".
