Now that we’re in the thick of summer, mosquitoes and oth-
er flying insects that annoy, irritate and generally make outdoor activities less enjoy- able for everyone are back in full force. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to keep bugs at bay and the outdoor adventures going strong.
“You don’t have to resort to chemical mosquito repel- lents if bugs are bothering you,” says Brandon Roach, executive vice president of new product development and engineering at Skeeter Hawk, a brand with a full line of all-natural mosquito and flying insect defense prod- ucts. “A few smart strategies and natural tools will help you and loved ones keep mosquitoes away.”
Whether you’re going on a walk, relaxing on the patio or hosting a gathering in your backyard, you want to enjoy your time outdoors.
Here are seven natural solutions to solve mosquito problems.
AVOID STANDING WATER
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so at home, eliminate places in your yard where water ac- cumulates, such as buckets, pots and lids. Put containers away or turn them over so they don’t catch water. For things like pools and bird baths, remember to keep water fresh.
ADD PERIMETER PROTECTION
Like an invisible force field, a Skeeter Hawk Mosquito Trap can be used in your favorite outdoor spaces like campsites, pools and back- yard patios. These effective traps use a whisper-quiet fan and long-lasting patent- pending UV LED technology to attract and trap mosqui- toes and other flying insects.
CIRCULATE AIR
When air is calm, it’s easy for mosquitoes to fly around. When it’s windy, mosquitoes have a more difficult time getting where they want to go. Therefore, if you’re host- ing a gathering at your home and air is stagnant, consider running fans. You may add portable fans to patios, decks and other outdoors areas where people gather.
COVER UP
Add a barrier between yourself and mosquitoes with your clothing. Even dur- ing warm weather, you may opt for cotton clothing that breathes to keep you cool. In addition to shirts and pants that cover your skin, consid- er skipping the sandals and wearing socks and closed- toe shoes to protect feet and ankles. Wearing a hat helps protect your head, too.
WEAR PERSONAL REPELLENTS
When bugs are bugging you, you don’t need to resort to heavy chemical repellents.
