B&M is selling a must-have summer garden gadget that repels pests – it's £17 less than a similar B&Q buy
NOTHING ruins a relaxing summer day soaking up the sun like insects and flies. A budget-friendly B&M buy can help keep pests away from your home and garden in the warm weather. 3 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.
