Mrs Hinch fans share best way to keep insects out of your home

Fans of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch have shared the best way to stop insects from coming into your home.

A number of people on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group suggested using a £5 product to help keep insects out. One woman first asked: "How do you keep flies away? I have got a door from the kitchen to the garden."

The post received hundreds of comments, with many suggesting the same thing – a magnetic insect door curtain. One follower shared a picture of her own, adding: "Cost £5....wouldn't be without it...magnetic insect door curtain."

The purpose of these curtains is to keep out flies, mosquitoes, midges, wasps, spiders, and all types of flying and crawling insects during the summer months when they're more prolific, reports The Mirror. With a fly screen, you are free to enjoy the cool breezes with peace of mind that your property is protected from unwanted insects.

They can be bought online on Amazon, and reputable retailers such as JML have their own versions for £10.

The JML snap screen says: "Keeps bugs out and let fresh air in with Snap Screen. This clever door screen has magnets along the opening, so as soon as you walk through it, it snaps shut behind you. This creates an impenetrable barrier that flies, moths, mosquitoes, wasps, and bees just can't get through."
