If you love sitting outside during the summer but hate annoying flying pests buzzing by or nipping you, this budget, non-toxic pest repellent is the key to outdoor freedom.
The $7 portable pest repellent fan from ALDI is a summer must-have and makes light work of keeping annoying flying bugs away from you.
Using a bug-repelling fan takes advantage of weak flyers such as mosquitoes and houseflies. It means you don't have to spray chemicals all over yourself, or any children in the household, to stay comfortable in the yard during hot weather.
Why this ALDI fan is a must have
This features a lightweight design and soft, flexible blades to keep bugs away at the beach, when enjoying picnics, and sitting outdoors on your patio in the evening. It also comes in silver.
Mosquitoes appear in abundance during the summer, especially around water sources such as lakes, beaches, and rivers. If you have a pond or a standing water feature in your yard, this can mean that flying bugs will annoy you whenever you step outside, as they're attracted to the carbon dioxide you breathe out.
Luckily, a lightweight bug repellent fan is cheap to buy, run, and blows flying bugs off their path with ease. It makes it a great non-toxic repellent for these insects, as they're not strong flyers.
You can get a simple Fly Fan available at Amazon with super fast delivery and quickly enjoy the unnavigable breeze it creates for flying pests.
This means you can skip other, more smelly or harsh-chemical-based deterrents such as citronella candles or potent bug sprays. It's perfect for picnics or when sitting outdoors with the children and grandchildren.
You can even double your bug-free zone with a pair of bug repellent fans from Walmart. Keep them a few feet away from each other, and focus their breeze around you to stop flying insects from getting near.

Double your bug repelling power with these lemongrass and cintronella essential oil camping candles. They're made from non-toxic soy wax and many pests hate citronella smells, and will avoid the area.
