Protect Yourself from Mosquitoes!
As the warmer weather appears, so do the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can take the fun out of a lot of outdoor summer activities so here are some great ways to protect yourself from bites! 1.) Mosquito Repellent The most effective mosquito repellents have Deet in them (bonus: deet helps protect you against ticks, which are supposed to be bad this season!) . If you're looking for a more natural option, repellents such as a lemon eucalyptus spray have also been shown to be effective. 2.) Citronella Candles Citronella can help keep the mosquitoes away. You can buy them or make your own! 3.) Lavender. Whether you have lavender plants or use lavender essential oils - mosquitoes seem to steer clear of this. 4.) Rosemary or Sage Throw rosemary or Sage on the grill during your BBQ. Not only will it add great flavor to what you're cooking, but it will keep the mosquitoes away! 5.) Eliminate standing water. Mosquitoes LOVE water - they lay their eggs in standing water. Make sure...
