The bargain buy comes with a practical hanger, so you can hang it from trees or table umbrellas and comes with a three year warranty, guaranteeing your garden will be bug free for years to come.
It comes with a 1.5 metre long cable, so you can easily plug it in using an extension cable, and comes with fully insulated housing with protective mesh.
The insect killer is part of Lidl's Middle Aisle range, and can be found in the middle of your local supermarket.

Lidl shoppers can also nab a bargain on a lawn tool, available at a fraction of the price of a similar Bosch buy.
The bargain supermarket is currently selling the Parkside Electric Lawn Trimmer for just £24.99, £75 cheaper than Bosch's Universal GrassCut 18V-26-500.
Keep pests out all summer
IF you want to ensure that your home is pest free this summer, here's what you need to know.
Hornets and wasps - hate the smell of peppermint oil so spraying this liberally around your patio or balcony can help to keep them at bay.
Moths - acidic household white vinegar is effective for deterring moths. Soak some kitchen roll in vinegar and leave it in your wardrobe as a deterrent.
Flying ants - herbs and spices, such as cinnamon, mint, chilli pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, or garlic act as deterrents.
Mosquitoes - plants, herbs and essential oil fragrances can help deter mozzies inside and out. Try eucalyptus, lavender and lemongrass.
And this handy buy is even cheaper for Lidl Plus app users, at just £19.99.
It is designed for "quick and clean lawn trimming", even in hard-to-reach areas.

This early 2000s shoe trend is back in a big way
In the early 2000s, the only footwear that could rival a pair of Uggs were Havaianas. The flip-flops came in a variety of bright colors and patterns, and they were definitely not reserved only for beach wear — I often paired mine with low-rise flares and handkerchief hem skirts. Although the brand never technically went away, wearing flip-flops with all types of outfits stopped being quite as popular as it once was. Now, in typical what's-old-is-new-again fashion, Havaianas are making a comeback. To hone in on the trend, I've rounded up some of the most highly rated Havaianas styles currently available. But first, learn a bit more about the brand. What you need to know about Havaianas Havaianas launched in Brazil in 1962. According to the brand, they were inspired by the Zori sandal, a traditional Japanese sandal made with cloth straps and rice straw soles. The company updated its style by using durable rubber in bright colors and patterns to create its flip-flops. To honor the Zori style they were inspired by, the brand uses a rice-like pattern on the bottom of their soles. The flip-flops were popular with beachgoers since their launch, but it was in 1998 that they became super trendy. This was the year that fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier had models wear them in one of his runway shows. After that, people everywhere started wearing flip-flops with all types of outfits. The trend waned for a bit, but recently Havaianas have been making a big comeback with the fashion crowd, thanks in part to the brand introducing new styles, including square-toe and embroidered options. Highly rated Havaianas to shop right now Below, we've rounded up some of Havaianas' most popular offerings — including its classic styles and newer designs. NBC Select Commerce editor Lindsay Schneider has been wearing Havaianas for over 20 years and has a particular fondness for this style. The classic flip-flop features slim straps with a raised monochromatic logo and the brand's signature rice pattern on the sole. The textured bottoms provide traction, and the footbed is cushioned for comfort, according to the brand. 'Of course, they're a consistent summer staple for me, but I also wear them year-round as house shoes/slippers in my apartment,' says Schneider. 'Since they're so slim and lightweight, I also always travel with them — I like wearing them around hotels, in showers that aren't my own, etc.' These flip flops come in a variety of colors — including buttercream, white, black and pink fever. A slightly updated version of their classic style, these flip-flops have a square toe and come in a variety of neutral colors — like black, white and rose. They're made from 100% rubber, have traction to provide grip on wet surfaces and have a cushioned footbed for comfort. Prefer something a little less flip-flop-y looking? This pair has a T-strap that spans the top of your foot and a back strap to keep your foot securely in place. Like all Havaianas, they're made completely from rubber and come in lots of colors (including rose gold, grey steel and black). This style has a 4.2-star average rating from over 13,400 reviews on Amazon. Looking for something a bit dressier? These flip-flops have slimmer straps than the classic style and a decorative crystal square for a touch of bling. They come in black, dark brown and beige and have a 4.5-star average rating from over 135 reviews at Havaianas. Add a little height with these platform flip-flops. They have a wedge-shaped sole and slightly thicker straps to keep your feet secure as you walk. The sandals come in two shades — ballet rose and black — and are available in sizes 5.5 through 10.5.

Lidl has unveiled merchandise to celebrate its 25th anniversary in Ireland with the help of Jedward. The clothing and summer accessories launch "is a colourful, tongue-in-cheek tribute to Lidl's cult status and customer loyalty over the past two and a half decades". Advertisement From June 19th, Lidl shoppers can pick up the limited-edition blue, yellow and red themed merchandise. Products in the range start from €1.49. The men's and women's fashion range include blue and yellow crocs-inspired clogs (€3.99) and sliders (€3.99), branded t-shirts (€3.49), short sleeved shirts (€5.99), and bucket hats (€4.99), as well as Lidl socks (€1.49), shorts and co-ord casual zip-up tracksuit jackets and shorts (from €14.99). Speaking about Lidl's 25th anniversary in Ireland and the latest middle aisle products, John and Edward Grimes said: 'We're so excited to join forces with Lidl to launch their new range of iconic merch to celebrate their 25th birthday. We've grown up with Lidl and getting to front a campaign with such bold looks is absolutely Jepic. The shoot was a blast – the middle aisle became our catwalk as we went full festival in Lidl couture. Advertisement "We love the bright colours – you'll definitely spot us at this summer's festivals in our matching bucket hats and branded shirts. The bucket hats are perfect for disguises and fit our quiffs perfectly. The shorts are super comfy – we feel like Paul Mescal showing off our Irish legs. We're even thinking of running the Dublin marathon in Lidl gear. "We've had famous friends asking for the Lidl sliders so we can all twin on holiday. And we have fond memories of our Grandad surprising us with gems from the iconic middle aisle – he'd be so proud. Lidl has always been part of our lives, and now it's part of our wardrobe too.' 2025 marks a milestone for Lidl, having opened its very first stores 25 years ago in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise. Today, Lidl operates 186 stores nationwide, employing over 6,500 and was recently named Ireland's Most Reputable Food Retailer in the Ireland RepTrak® 2025 study of 100 organisations. The new merchandise range will be available in Lidl stores from Thursday, June 19th while stocks last.
