And although the sun is undoubtedly putting a smile on many faces, hot weather also comes with it's own set of problems.
Warmer temperatures provide the perfect breeding conditions for insects, whilst longer days give them more time to search for food and mate.
And whilst many insects are harmless to humans, they are a complete nuisance when they invade our homes.
If you're desperate to throw your windows and doors open to keep cool, but don't want your home to be overrun by creepy crawlies, Home Bargains has the perfect buy for you.

Summer's hottest facial SPF suncreams and products, ranked
Whether you're heading on a city break, beach holiday, or just navigating day-to-day life, sun protection is a non-negotiable, and the right products make it easier to protect and glow with skincare that works with your routine, not against it. Research from Olay shows that one in 10 Brits admit to never wearing SPF on their face, so we tried and tested some of summer's hottest new products for face and lips, to see which ones would make it into our holiday make-up bag. Here's our verdict. Mavala Switzerland Tinted lip balm (cherry) Price £7.99, from John Lewis I'm a sucker for a tinted lip balm and Mavala's cherry tint is the perfect combination of colour and SPF protection. As someone who has suffered with dry lips for several years, I was at first sceptical on how well this lip balm would match up to my trusty Vaseline. However, I was pleasantly surprised how effortlessly it glides on, leaving my lips hydrated, soft and not mega greasy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mavala UK (@mavalauk) The SPF15 protection is a welcome bonus too, as the balm is infused with shea butter and aloe vera, along with apricot extract, provitamin A and vitamin E. The subtle tint of cherry red was the perfect colour for lips and was reminiscent of Maybelline's popular Baby Lips formula from around a decade ago. Mavala's cherry lip balm will be a staple in my beauty bag for the summer months and beyond. Score – 5/5 Review by Clare Butler Ocean Freedom Mineral Sunscreen and Ocean Clay Price: £8 and £13, from Bling20 Surf Clay (Image: Surf Clay) This brilliant pairing of a mineral sunscreen SPF50+ lotion sunscreen and its sister Surf Clay SPF50+ are great for active days out or trips with kids. The clay stays on through hot days and plenty of water (we tried it out on a family holiday, in and out of the pool, and it didn't budge). The kids loved that they were fragrance-free (no weird smell!), and best of all they come in an array of fun colours including pink, blue and white, as well as light tan and a clear format - as we discovered they can even be mixed together to create gorgeous new shades of lilac. I liked it because as a mineral sunscreen, it sits on the skin's surface and is less pore-clogging, making it more suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Rating: 5/5 Reviewed by Jade Wright Dermalogica biolumin-c heat aging protector spf50 travel size Price: £24 Bottle size: 15ml, from Amazon This moisturiser with SPF comes in a nice 15ml bottle, ideal for travel whether you're cramming everything into a weekend bag or worried about your suitcase weight. I found this to be quite a thick formula but it soaked into my skin well and very quickly with little effort. Dermalogica (Image: Newsquest) The smell is quite summery and I think SPF50 is high for what I've seen in other products so that's a bonus. The only downside to this moisturiser is that I had to use a bit more than I would of my usual product so that's something to bear in mind. Review: Katie Collier Score: 4/5 Elemental Herbology SPF 50 Moisturiser (Image: Newsquest) Price - £45, from Elemental It's a cliché for a reason but sometimes you really do get what you pay for. As a recent skincare convert, I'm increasingly critical of the products I buy. I want them to do more for less ( like us all!). I love that Element Herbology have given us an effective SPF as well as a moisturiser packed with Provitamin B5 and Vitamin E. It feels very light on the skin, rubs in very quickly and doesn't leave any white residue. With long term wear, I have actually found myself using less face make up. I was content with how hydrated and glowing my skin's felt on it's own. I can't fault the formula itself but the price tag is steep when you only get 50ml. After a recommend 2-3 pumps to cover my face, neck and hands in the morning as well as a top ups throughout the day, I would have to remortgage a house I don't have to keep up with my obsession. Review: Rebecca Carey Score – 4/5 Kalme Day Defence SPF 40 Rebecca Carey (Image: Newsquest) Price - £26.65, from Amazon I would argue that Kalme's Day Defence is a slightly more budget friendly alternative for daily use. It's by no means cheap but it is a lightweight moisturiser that rubs in well and avoids that dreaded greasy feeling. It's not quite as luxurious to apply as the Elemental Herbology but it's equally long lasting and is in a convenient travel size so you can top on the go. There is a slight but subtle smell to the formula. It isn't unpleasant or off putting but there's something a little chemical too it that means it doesn't feel or go unnoticed. However, if you have sensitive skin, I think you could absolutely get behind this brand. It has a patented anti-redness extract that has been proven to reduce redness by up to 70% in clinical trials. Overall, it's very good value for money with its 24 hour moisture formula, I can see myself adding it to my cart again. Review by Rebecca Carey Score - 3.5/5 Recommended reading:

Boho-style £120 indoor and outdoor egg chair on sale for £80
With the warm weather here to stay across most places in the UK, shoppers are upgrading their gardens with a stylish furniture It's not just in the fashion world where boho style is picking up, home interior brands are also jumping on the trend. Rattan and woven styles are a great way to add a sense of tranquillity to any space, be it inside or outdoors. Large pieces of furniture can often set shoppers back more than £100, however, bargain hunters have found a charming swing chair on sale at the Online Home Shop for £80. Originally £122, the Online Home Shop deal is cheaper than the same chair is at Amazon. The 'lovely hanging chair' is crafted with hand-knotted macrame, exuding boho-chic charm while offering a cosy spot to unwind. Whether sipping a drink, swinging and watching the world go by, or snuggling up to read a book, the chair is a unique way to add more seating to an area. Another interesting way to provide more seating areas in the home is with a brightly coloured egg chair. Dunelm's Santorini Egg Chair is certainly eye-catching, available in Ginger (burnt orange) and Ashley Blue (white and blue stripes). It's more expensive at £249, but more than 100 shoppers have rated it five stars, saying it is 'so relaxing' and they 'have no regrets with the purchase'. A double-seated egg chair is typically retails for more, but it's a lovely option as an investment. The Charles Bentley Natural Garden Hanging 2 Seater Egg Chair is £610 with 'plenty of room for two to sit or one to lounge'. It also comes in a single size for £450. The OHS egg chair has a durable frame with an intricate rope pattern, adding texture and elegance. It's a versatile pick as it can be placed indoors in a cosy corner or stored outside during the summer months. One shopper left a review writing: "Really love the chair, it was easy to put together, good quality." And a second person highlighted that it can be used inside, sharing: "This is absolutely lovely. My daughter loves it and places it by her bedroom window to watch the sunset." We wouldn't recommend keeping it outdoors during the winter as the rope may become discoloured, which may be a problem for those lacking storage space. Instead, a weather-proof alternative might be best. The Maeria Dark grey Metal Hanging Egg Chair is on sale at B&Q for a limited time, down to £110, saving shoppers £50. Another OHS customer praised the egg chair saying: "Marvellous hanging chair, really well made, numerous 'uses' indoors or out." Shoppers can pick it up here for the discounted price of £80.
