But there's nothing worse than sitting down to enjoy an evening in the sun, only to be plagued by irritating insects.
Although there are many natural hacks you can try to repel bugs, Lidl's Livarno Home Cylindrical Electric Insect Killer is guaranteed to make your garden a pest-free zone.
Landing in stores from Thursday, May 15, the £9.99 product will keep bugs at bay both during the day, and at night.
It uses low energy consumption - so you don't have to worry about high electricity bills - and is super easy to clean, thanks to the removable try at the base.

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.
However, as with all Middle Aisle offerings, once they're gone, they're gone, so you better be quick!

Amongst the bargains currently on the shelves in the middle of Lidl, is the Japanese Pull Saw With Angled Handle.
The bargain buy will set you back by just £4.99, making it the perfect product for penny pinchers.
Tips and Tricks to Keep Your Garden Pest-Free
The nifty gadget can help you trim back overgrown hedges, thanks to the flexible saw blade with coarse and fine teeth.
The product also has an ergonomic handle, and a soft grip, so you can chop hedges with comfort.

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.

With a 300W motor, the gadget features line spools that can be changed without tools.
It also includes a protective hood with a trimmer line cutter, as well as an ergonomic handle.
The gadget has an integrated power cable strain relief for the 10 metre power cable.
This buy, which hits the Lidl middle aisle on Thursday, May 15, boasts a cutting diameter of 23 centimetres.

The sausage roll that's better than Greggs – and it beats Aldi and Lidl too
We reveal plenty of ways to save on your supermarket shop ON A ROLL The sausage roll that's better than Greggs – and it beats Aldi and Lidl too Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S officially picnic season – but what are the best supermarket foods to pack in your hamper? We've tested all the own-brand sausage rolls from the major supermarkets to see which are the best value for money - and whether they beat Greggs. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Rosie Taylor has tested supermarket sausage rolls vs Greggs Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures We've scored them out of 10 for taste and 10 for value, taking into account the pork content and price for a 360g pack of six. Here's how the sausage rolls scored out of 20 overall: Tesco Pork Sausage Rolls, £1.95 for 6 9 The test of Tesco's sausage rolls got off to a bad start Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Our test of the Tesco sausage rolls got off to a bad start with a large piece of gristle in the first bite. The sausage was tasteless, which is unsurprising as it contained just 27 per cent pork – the joint-lowest of all the supermarkets. But the pastry was light and flaky. At 33p per roll, these were middle of the range on price but you don't get much sausage for your money. Taste: 5/10 Value: 5/10 Total: 10/20 Asda Pork Sausage Rolls, £1.95 for 6 9 Asda's didn't fare much better Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures The Asda sausages were also disappointing, as the sausage meat was a bland, smooth paste and the pastry had a greasy aftertaste. Overall these were greasy and tasteless – and cost more than the budget versions from brands like Aldi and Lidl. Taste: 4/10 Value: 6/10 Total: 10/20 Sainsbury's Pork Sausage Rolls, £1.69 for 6 9 Sainsbury's Sausage Rolls taste test – with Rosie Taylor ***Pic by David McHugh / Brighton Pictures 07768 721637** Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures At 28p per roll, Sainsbury's versions were one of the cheapest supermarket sausage rolls we tried – but they had one of lowest meat contents, at just 27 per cent pork. Although the pastry was light and flaky, the meat filling was unusually dark and tasted bland. Taste: 6/10 Value: 6/10 Total: 12/20 Morrisons Pork Sausage Rolls, £2.40 for 6 9 Morrisons' pastry had large gaps in, but it tasted buttery Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Morrisons' sausage rolls had a great taste, with plenty of seasoning and the second highest meat content of all those we tried, at 30 per cent pork. The pastry had large gaps in and crumbled apart easily, but it tasted buttery. At 40p per roll, these were one of the most expensive options – but were worth the price. Taste: 8/10 Value: 6/10 Total: 14/20 Aldi Crestwood Sausage Rolls, £1.69 for 6 9 Aldi and Lidl's sausage rolls were very similar Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Both Aldi and Lidl's sausage rolls were extremely similar, with a crumbly sausage meat filling and stodgy pastry that looked undercooked – even after heating them in the oven. At 28p per roll, these budget versions tasted bland but salty. Taste: 6/10 Value: 7/10 Total: 13/20 Lidl Chef Select Sausage Rolls, £1.69 for 6 9 Aldi's, like Lidl's rolls, contained 29% pork Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Just like the Aldi version, these budget sausage rolls were inoffensive but covered in stodgy, undercooked pastry. Both Lidl and Aldi's versions contained 29 per cent pork. Taste: 6/10 Value: 7/10 Total: 13/20 WINNER Waitrose Sausage Rolls, £2.40 for 6 (360g) 9 Waitrose's sausage rolls were crowned the winner Credit: David McHugh / Brighton Pictures Posh supermarket Waitrose's sausage rolls were the joint-most expensive – at 40p per roll – but worth the extra pennies. The pastry was crumbly and brown, although it was not quite as crisp and flaky as the pastry on a Greggs' sausage roll. The filling had a wholesome taste of pork and herbs. It wasn't surprising to find they had the highest pork content (36 per cent) of all the sausage rolls we tried. These are worth splurging on – and they're still nearly a third cheaper than Greggs. Taste: 8/10 Value: 7/10 Total: 15/20 Greggs Sausage Rolls, £3.90 for 4 large rolls (440g) 9 The posh supermarket even beat Greggs Credit: PA The 'nation's favourite' sausage roll is a classic for a reason. It had crisp, light and flaky pastry, although the sausage meat itself was fairly bland. That is perhaps not surprising - the pork content of the Greggs sausage rolls is far lower than any of the supermarket versions we tried, at just 22 per cent. And they were also the most expensive. You get more sausage roll by weight in a pack of four from Greggs (400g compared with 360g in all the supermarket versions). But it still works out around a third more expensive gram-for-gram than the most costly supermarket versions at Waitrose. Taste: 8/10 Value: 5/10 Total: 13/20

Lidl's cooling pillow is £30 cheaper than John Lewis – it cures back pain, is skin-friendly & perfect for side sleepers
Read on for more items to battle the heatwave KEEP YOUR COOL Lidl's cooling pillow is £30 cheaper than John Lewis – it cures back pain, is skin-friendly & perfect for side sleepers LIDL has the perfect item for those who are struggling to sleep through the summer heat. The handy product will keep the temperature down and your body relaxed while you snooze. 1 Livarno neck support pillow is available in Lidl from June 29 Credit: Lidl Shoppers can get their hands on Livarno TopCool Neck Support Pillow for just £10.99. That's more than £30 cheaper than a similar product in John Lewis, with the product available from tomorrow. The pillow is made of TopCool micro-fine fabric which absorbs moisture from your body leaving your skin dry and comfortable. The cooling technology will be great for increased sweating during sleep when temperatures soar to 34C this weekend. The breathable and soft fabric also means it dries quickly, so you don't have to flip your pillow all night. The pillow's shape is adjusted for correct sleeping posture, encouraging your neck, shoulders and head to relax. It is perfect for those who prefer to sleep on their back or side, and want to bid goodbye to neck soreness in the morning. Although at 50x36cm it is smaller than a standard pillow size, the Livarno pillow comes with its own cover with a zip. The cover can be easily removed and washed at 60C. According to The Sleep Charity 16°C-18°C is ideal for a good night's sleep, but if your bedroom temperature is over 24°C you're more likely to wake up. Met Eireann confirm 22C heat to blast this weekend as spots with 'best chance of sunshine' pinpointed Using a lighter tog duvet (or even a sheet), a home fan with a quiet setting and opening your windows to let air circulate all help keep your room cool as you rest. More Lidl Bargains You can also pick up Livarno Home Double TopCool Duvet to go with your pillow at Lidl. Designed to keep you cool and comfy, the £10.99 duvet features a micro-fine cover that cleverly regulates moisture and body temperature. It's ideal for double beds, with a soft and fluffy polyester filling that still feels cosy without the stifling heat The bargain supermarket is also selling the Silvercrest Local Air Conditioner which is bound to keep you super cool all summer long. The handy gadget also works as a dehumidifier and ventilator and can be easily moved throughout the house thanks to its wheels and recessed side grips. It also automatically oscillates, meaning your whole room will be cooled, and has two different fan speeds, depending on how much you need cooling down. Priced at £149.00, the fan comes with a three-year warranty and has a 24-hour-digital timer function. It is also £180 cheaper than the Logik Portable Air Conditioner & Dehumidifier, which costs £329 from Curry's.
