But instead of potential chemical sprays and repellent, there may be another way to keep flying bugs out.
It also happens that the item looks stylish and it takes just seconds to install in the house.
Home Bargains is selling the Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen for under a fiver.
You can stay cool and breeze through summer with the protective barrier for just £3.99.
It features magnetic closure and lace detail which comes in handy if you don't have a tool box.
No instruments are needed to install the screen, which means it's easier than ever to keep the insects at bay.
The population of house flies is far higher in the warmer months as they are more active and they reproduce more rapidly.
The daytime is when most house flies are most active as peak activity often occurs in either the early morning or the late afternoon.
It may be an idea to keep food sources away from the window as the insects are attracted to them.
This also includes rubbish like waste, bones, leftovers and rotting food.
Urgent 'do not eat' warning issued for cereal
In the UK, wasps are also most active during the summer months when their colonies are at peak size.
In this period, they are busy foraging for food, feeding their larvae, and they build nests - which are difficult to get rid of.
This also means the activity of stingers is at its peak, so shoppers need to protect themselves, particularly from June until the end of August.
Why do flies come out in summer?
Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE!
The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures.
Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active.
The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs.
House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours!
In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days.
The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months!

The exact amount of time it should take to pee – and when it signals a serious health problem
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ALTHOUGH it's often a hush-hush topic, going to pee is something we all need to do. After all, what we guzzle down, must come out. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Spending too much, or too little, time peeing can be a sign of underlying health conditions Credit: Getty But the stream doesn't always run so smoothly down there and knowing what's normal and what's not, can help you work out when there is an issues. It turns out spending too much time, or too little can be dangerous and a sign of hidden underlying health conditions, experts have warned. It should only take you an around 21 seconds to completely empty your bladder, according to US researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. And if you're spending much longer peeing, you could be holding in urine for too long, which can lead to your bladder expanding too much. This is because the average bladder holds between 400ml and 600ml, roughly one pint, and people typically need to pass urine four to eight times a day. However, experts have warned that waiting until you're bursting before going to the loo puts you at a higher risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), which can lead to life-threatening kidney infections. On the other hand, frequent short visits to the toilet may point to an overactive bladder, where the body feels an urgent need to urinate even when it is not full. The 21-second rule, which researchers described as the 'Law of Urination,' applies to all mammals weighing over 3kg. The scientists behind the finding received an IG Nobel Prize in 2015, a satirical award that honours unusual or humorous scientific achievements, after analysing footage of various animals peeing. But the health risks of ignoring the urge to go are anything but amusing. I haven't peed in SIX YEARS and never will again - I live in constant agony and it could kill me Chris Blick, a consultant urological surgeon at the Princess Grace Hospital, said: "Generally speaking you shouldn't force yourself to wait until you are desperate to urinate. "Occasionally, this technique may be used as part of bladder retraining to support patients with overactive bladders." He told MailOnline: "Holding on too much can be painful and, if you have a urine infection, can make you feel unwell. "If you regularly hold in your urine, over time this can cause your bladder to stretch." Peeing too often, he said, will "potentially train your bladder to empty when it doesn't need to, and can create a habit leading to unwanted frequency of urination."

Home Bargains shoppers 'obsessed' with 'girly' range from £1.49
People were quick to fall in love with the latest bow-themed items available at affordable prices Home Bargains shoppers say they are 'obsessed' with the latest range of "girly" products landing in stores. For as little as £1.49, people can embrace a simple yet popular trend that is sweeping social media in many areas of their homes. TikTok user Kaitlin (@kaitlinbaileyx) posted the latest range of bow-inspired items added to the discount store's shelves. The trend has exploded online, with many retailers taking advantage of its popularity. Kaitlin claimed online that she was "obsessed" and said: "Girls don't walk, run to Home Bargains." She then included a string of photos taken during a shopping trip, during which she found items starting from as little as £1.49. The shopper found soap dispensers and drinkware, including mason jars with straws, ceramic mugs (£2.99), glass mugs (£1.49), and wine glasses (£3.99). Beyond the kitchen, fans of the pattern can embrace all things bow in the bedroom with a trendy duvet set that doesn't break the bank - if you can find it. The packaging showed that it came from The Lifestyle Edit range, with some items, such as the bathroom soap dispenser, tumbler, and tray (sold separately), available to buy online. However, others will be available in-store only. People were quite to jump into the comments section after spotting items that they "needed". One said: "I have the glass it's so cute." Another added: "I need all the girly stuff! Bow obsessed!" A third wrote: "Love this collection! Time for a long overdue Home Bargains visit!" Someone else posted: "As someone who is obsessed with pink, I'm coming to get it all!" But, one comment gave women a word of warning. An employee of the discount chain commented: "Guys be careful with the glassware, it's very fragile. I work at HB and a coworker dropped one the other day and it didn't break in pieces, it literally shattered into tiny little specs of glass. I'm talking like Demerara sugar size! Just be careful!" Other commented how they were unsuccessful at getting any in their local Home Bargains, with another staff member shedding a bit of light on why that might be. They said: "Home bargains worker here! We've been gradually getting it all the past few weeks after the bow pjs but some of these are only in our larger shops." Away from all things bow, Home Bargains has been impressing fans in other ways. The store recently added a fitness bundle to its shelves —ideal for gifting to anyone you know who's obsessed with exercise and hitting their protein goals. For £30, the Applied Nutrition Fitness Starter Pack (worth £50) includes a JD Gym 1 Day Guest Pass. There is also a range of goodies that are "tasty samples and top products to kickstart your fitness journey".

Binky Felstead devastated by horrifying health issue caused by pregnancy as she begs fans for help
The star revealed how she's going to attempt to overcome the health issue HEALTH WOES Binky Felstead devastated by horrifying health issue caused by pregnancy as she begs fans for help BINKY Felstead has been left devastated by a horrifying health issue caused by pregnancy, and begged fans for help. The Made In Chelsea star has three children - a daughter named India who she shares with ex Josh Patterson, and sons Wolfie, three, and Wilder, one, with husband Max. Advertisement 4 Binky Felstead has been left devastated by a horrifying health issue caused by pregnancy, and begged fans for help Credit: Getty 4 Binky shared she felt pregnancy was a contributing factor to her gum disease diagnosis Credit: Instagram/@binkyfelstead But the 35-year-old has now shared an insight into her health, post-pregnancy, revealed a health issue. Binky shared a photo of various toothbrushes and paste on a table, and told her legion of fans that she has gum disease . The reality star shared: 'SO! Just had a routine check up and found I have gum disease that is now destroying my bone? 'A few teeth have very little bone left which is actually quite scary. Apparently I'm just really unlucky/ could be genetic and I need to tackle asap!!' Advertisement Binky continued: 'I've got so many questions, what am I supposed to do other than this every day? Is there anyone out there I can see to zap this asap? 'Teeth have always scared me over anything.' The mum-of-three revealed in a second post that a lot of people had got in touch with her in similar situations. She said: 'I'm going to see a hygienist every three months and they're going to take videos and pictures of my teeth. Advertisement 'Need to use these brushes twice a day with the gel (gel for 2 weeks) and just make sure I'm on top of it.' Binky Felstead cruelly mum-shamed after birth of third child Opening up on the cause of the gum disease, Binky uploaded a photo of herself from one of her pregnancies, and wrote: 'Apparently this is very common in pregnancy. 'So I'm guessing that's what caused it.' Commenting on Binky's announcement, Nyree Whitley, Chief Clinical Officer for mydentist, has shared her thoughts, saying: 'Gum disease can lead to bone loss around the teeth, potentially causing tooth instability and eventual loss. My number one tip for maintaining healthy gums is to make sure you prioritise your at-home oral health routine, which I'd recommend includes brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. Advertisement 'You may find an electric toothbrush helps to give you an effective clean at home if you suffer from arthritis or a condition which could impact your dexterity, and water flossers are a fantastic way to enhance your routine – providing an easier solution to traditional floss. Gum disease Gum disease is where the gums become red, swollen and sore, and bleed. It's very common, but it's important to get it checked by a dentist. Symptoms of gum disease include: your gums bleeding when you brush your teeth, floss or eat hard foods such as apples your gums becoming swollen, red and sore Gum disease can lead to: bad breath and a bad taste in the mouth your gums shrinking your teeth becoming loose or falling out 'You may want to also consider using a mouthwash to help to fight bacteria, and brushing your tongue with your toothbrush will further support this. 'Incorporating flossing into your toothbrushing routine is a great way to ensure a thorough clean, removing food debris and plaque from between the teeth and gumline. 'The benefit of flossing is that it helps you to clean areas you can't always reach with your toothbrush, which can help to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.' Advertisement She continued: 'Gum disease is also common in women due to hormonal influence, meaning women may experience increased susceptibility to gum disease during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, due to fluctuating hormone levels.' Like Binky, she shared she felt pregnancy was a contributing factor to her gum disease diagnosis, which again, is common in women and it is medically referred to as Gingivitis, which is a milder form of gum disease, particularly common during the second to eighth months of pregnancy. 4 Binky shared a photo of various toothbrushes and paste on a table, and told her legion of fans that she has gum disease .
