Nothing ruins a perfect evening faster than some unwanted buzzing guests at the table – but that’s where bug zappers come to the rescue.
Aldi is selling a hand-held zapper racket which “eliminates flying insects and spiders with one simple zap.”
The device eliminates flying pests without the need for sticky sprays or smelly candles.
They could also ensure you have peaceful, bite-free nights as they can take out mosquitos in seconds.
They are also chemical-free and can be used in nearly all spaces, from tiny balconies, indoor dining rooms and sprawling yards.
It comes in a range of colors, from blue, purple and green to yellow.
Whether you’re hosting a pool party, going camping or simply reading outside, you can ensure the only thing buzzing outside if your music playlist.
The zapper is identical to a similar $11.98 one from Lowes, but for a fraction of the price.
The Lowes description reads: “This racket-style handheld bug zapper puts the fun in bug control.
“Take matters into your own hands with this racket bug zapper with 2750 volts of power and a convenient, on-demand design.
“Whether on the go or at home, the Black Flag handheld bug zapper will keep your immediate surroundings pest-free.”
BANISH BUGS
One bug-busting homeowner has shared his proven tips for keeping creepy crawlies out.
His advice for deterring spiders includes getting creative with wall paint.
He said having a large number of bugs may be an indicator of a bigger problem in the home than a change in season.
“If you have a lot of spiders, it means they’ve got enough bugs to eat to sustain their population,” he said on Reddit, writing under the handle Chrisbrl88.
“It’s also important to realize that spiders don’t typically come in from outside.
“House spiders are adapted to survive in houses, garden spiders are adapted to survive in gardens, and Spiderman is adapted to survive in New York City,” he joked.

CAULK IT UP
He added you should seal up any openings or cracks around the foundation with caulk or expanding foam.
“This also happens to be a good time to insulate the rim joist, because there’s a lot of overlap between the two jobs,” he said.
“You also wanna carefully look around all windows and doors and make sure those are caulked up well, too.
“If you feel so inclined, you can huck a bug bomb up into the attic for peace of mind.”
