5 Reasons Why Mosquitos Are Still Biting You
Although they seem minuscule, mosquitos can play a big part in ruining your summers outdoors.
Here are 5 things you can do to keep them from biting you:
1. Plant a Garden – Mosquitoes hate quite a few different plants. By choosing the right ones and planting them in pots close to sitting areas in your yard you can have a beautiful garden as well as some peace from the ‘skeeters. Try planting lemon balm, catnip, basil, lavender, lemon geraniums, and mint. | |
2. Switch Your Outdoor Light Bulbs – Bright white lights on our patios and porches attract insects of all kinds. Switch them out for yellow light bulbs and instantly see the difference. | |
3. Feed the Hummingbirds – Hummingbirds can be your best friend as they eat mosquitoes and tons of other insects. You can purchase feeders and hang them in your yard to attract them. | |
4. Create Wind – Everyone loves a calm day without wind – this goes for mosquitos too! They are not strong enough to fly in a breeze so using a fan on a still day will help keep them away! | |
5. Use Essential Oils – All Clean Natural ‘Skeeter Spray is made of 100% essential oils, all of which insects hate the smell of! Use it on the whole family for a natural way to keep the bugs away! |
