Dfagie Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap

More than 8,000 other Amazon shoppers have already purchased this No. 1 new release in the Patio, Lawn, and Garden category. At only 2.2 x 1.18 x 6.5 inches, this tiny plug-in uses blue ultraviolet light to attract unwanted bugs, luring them inside the otherwise innocuous trap where they’ll stick to an odorless adhesive card. It’s a smarter, chemical-free way to rid your home of indoor nuisances like fruit flies, gnats, regular flies, mosquitoes, and other pesky winged insects. It easily eliminates the need for other bulky alternatives like fly swatters, coils, outdoor hanging traps, zappers, and more.

NewBulig 9-Foot Outdoor Patio Umbrella

If you need a new outdoor patio umbrella this year, this 9-footer comes available in blue, red, or khaki and features a push-button tilt to adjust its angle according to the sun’s position. With the quintessential style of a market umbrella, it provides ample shade for up to six people, and it’s even outfitted with UPF 50+ protection, too. It’s also waterproof—so you don’t have to worry about bringing it inside every time it rains—and the very top also features a convenient ventilation system that reduces wind resistance on breezy days.

Velybrin 100-Foot Garden Hose

The best garden hoses should be lightweight, easy to move, anti-kink, and long-lasting, much like this No. 1 new release that’s currently double-discounted, thanks to a clickable coupon. Made from high-density polyester that’s wear-resistant and anti-slip, the hose has a non-expandable design that maintains a steady, leak-free flow of water. It can withstand up to 1,500 water cycles and won’t be punctured or kinked by gravel or other sharp edges and materials.

Vimlinc Programmable Sprinkler Timer

It may look simple enough, but this is hardly your standard sprinkler timer. More than 4,000 shoppers bought it in the past month alone, and shoppers who already have it love it for its many clever features. Customers can create a customized watering schedule that lets you set watering times, frequencies, and durations, and also use a rain delay and manual mode that conserves water by automatically pausing the schedule for 24, 48, or 72 hours. It also features a user-friendly LCD screen that plainly displays all the necessary information on the screen, including watering times, frequency, and remaining power. The timer itself is also built with IP54 waterproof material and a sealed battery cover that keeps moisture out for long lasting durability.

Betta SE Plus Solar Powered Robotic Pool Skimmer

Here’s something we had never heard of before—not a robotic pool vacuum, but a robotic pool skimmer. Now on sale for a limited time, this genius invention looks very similar to a robot pool vac, but it only treads in shallow water and sucks up debris on the pool’s surface. It’s completely solar-powered, and even on cloudy days, it can run continuously for up to 30 hours on a single full charge. It takes up to 6 hours to charge under direct sunlight, or as little as 3.5 hours if you opt for using the adapter. Because this robotic pool skimmer catches pollen, leaves, bugs above the water, debris won’t have the chance to settle at the bottom—less deep-cleaning time for you and your pool vac. And since it does the skimming for you, you don’t have to overextend yourself, like you’re playing a game of Twister with the extra-long skimming pole just to catch one or two bugs floating in the middle of the pool.

Zamelane 16-Ounce Hummingbird Feeder

Finding the “right” hummingbird feeder might feel like the ongoing video game that never lets you to the next level, but this one seems to be a pretty good bet, considering more than 4,000 shoppers have already bought it since its May debut. From top to bottom, this hummingbird feeder is completely devoid of the color yellow, which avid hummingbird watchers know can accidentally attract yellow jackets instead (check out more tips for warding off bees from hummingbird feeders.) Designed in only red and black colors, this 12.21x7.59-inch feeder has a 360-degree wire perch, six feeding ports, as well as an anti-ant moat. It has everything you need to attract the hummers in droves. Just make sure you’re using the appropriate hummingbird food with this two-ingredient recipe.

Pooside Weed Puller Tool

More than 1,000 of these weeders were sold in the past month with shoppers loving how easy it is to use. This manual stand-up weeder has an ergonomic handle that stretches around 3.3 feet long and four durable stainless steel claws that wrench even the strongest-rooted weeds from the ground. Though a manual weeder, it requires little effort—no bending, pulling, or kneeling required. Just set the weeder into the ground, stand on the pedal with your full weight to wedge it in at least 3 inches deep, then pull the root toward the side of the tool and then twist the lever to release the weed. It’s perfect for tackling big lawns wrought with weeds, big garden beds, and other untamed areas of the yard that tend to get taken over by weeds.

GeckoMan Rotating Head Electric Fly Swatter

The goal over the summer is to keep as many bugs as possible outdoors, but if a few do so happen to make their way inside, you can put an end to the indoor buzzing and chirping with this new-and-improved version of an electric fly swatter. This GeckoMan Fly Swatter has all the customer-loved features of the traditional swatter, including a telescopic extension pole and 3,500 volts of electric shock that go straight through the insect’s body. But it also has one defining feature that makes it even better: a patented rotating head design that provides more flexibility as you chase bugs from different angles and surfaces. We’ve all been there with an original swatter, where you’ve trapped the fly in question but can’t get the swatter to splat flat against the window, door, or wall. With this rotating head, you’ll never have that issue again.

Birdream Two-Pack Outdoor Bird Feeders

Grab this two-pack of outdoor bird feeders that more than 4,000 other Amazon shoppers have added to their cart this month. With an aesthetically-pleasing design that replicates an outdoor pagoda, this hanging house looks more like a home than it does a feeder. Each 8.2x8.2x9.8-inch bird feeder holds more than 5 pounds of your preferred bird seed, and features six bird-friendly perches that go all the way around. The design of the perches also moonlights as a way to keep long-term contact between the bird feed and potential bird droppings separate, which is a must for reducing the risk of bacterial growth and the potential to spread harmful infections from bird to bird.

Leapul 21V Electric Cordless Leaf Blower

The right cordless leaf blower is a godsend in just about all seasons, but especially during both fall and springtime yard cleanups—and probably also after every lawn-mowing, too. Right now, this Leapul leaf blower is climbing up the new releases list, not only because it’s on double sale, but also because it’s quick to charge and can work continuously for up to 20 minutes. The blower is outfitted with two batteries, each of which offers 10 minutes of run time, and takes about 1 hour to charge fully. Best of all, just about anyone could use it since it only weighs 4 pounds, making it easy to bring around the yard and down the driveway. Use it in the garage, on the porch, or for garden cleanups.

Aseint Eight-Piece Mole Repellent for Lawns

Mole problem? It seems like anyone with a garden has moles, too, and it can be oh so annoying when underground pests try to stake their claim on the gardens you work so hard to perfect. Also on double sale, this set comes with eight 2x8x2-inch mole repellents that are charged by solar energy and uses ultrasonic frequencies and vibrations to deter mole and other underground creatures from eating plant bulbs and damaging lawns. There are three modes (alert, rapid, and symphony),  all of which use vibrating patterns that frequently change in order to prevent moles from getting accustomed to the deterrent. Each one should be placed anywhere from 20 to 50 feet apart, and they’re easy to install; just insert each stake into the ground—no need to dig a hole.

Jearey Outdoor Umbrella Base Stand

Since there’s no use buying a quality outdoor umbrella without the right umbrella base stand to pair it with, this $20 option is a deal you can’t miss. This one in particular features a dual lock design that has two adjustable knobs to more effectively secure the umbrella to the base. It’s ideal for holding most 6- to 10-foot market umbrellas with pole diameters ranging from 38 to 48 millimeters. You can fill the base with up to 61 pounds of sand or 22 liters of water to weigh it down. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about it rusting or corroding, since it’s made of all-weather materials that withstand rain, sun, snow, and any other factors that would increase its risk of corrosion.
