Although the British weather is never that predictable, the recent weeks of high heat have left many feeling a bit flustered.
To stay cool, it is often recommended to ensure there is a enough airflow throughout the home.
However, with the impending Flying Ant Day, opening all the windows and doors to get some air in also means pesky insects have been given an invitation to infiltrate your home.
But Home Bargains has fixed the conundrum with their latest must-have.
Their affordable Jardin Magnetic Insect Door Screen is a kitchen essential that will prevent bugs from infesting your home.

Biggest flying ant day in recent memory
Homeowners are pulling out all the stops to keep insects out this summer, as experts suggest this could be the biggest Flying Ant Day in recent memory.

Flying Ant Day is the annual mating flight of millions of ants, when they fly through the skies in synchronised displays.
While this may sound like a sight to behold, it’s never nice to have the little insects crawling around your home.
There are various ways to help keep the pests at bay, but when coupled with Home Bargains’ new affordable solution, it’s hard to think how the bugs will be able to get in.
What’s more unlike some chemical options, this screen does not cause the ants harm, and so it is the perfect solution.
Paul Blackhurst, Head of the Technical Academy at Rentokil Pest Control, explained: “While flying ants may disrupt your picnic, barbeque, or pub garden pint, they play a vital role in the ecosystem.
“This natural event, when vast numbers of winged ants, known as alates, take to the skies at once in search of mates from other colonies, could be one of the most prolific for years.”
