Non-Toxic Tips To Manage Bugs This Summer

Love being outside, but hate the bugs? Here are a few things you can do to prevent them from hatching as well as a few suggestions to help during a gathering outside.
  1. Remove things that will attract bugs to your yard. Standing water is a good place to start, where mosquitoes lay their eggs. Look for buckets, empty planters, dishes, old tires, unused kiddie pools and turn them over or put them away.
  2. Change the water in your birdbaths often or add a small pump to circulate the water and discourage mosquitoes from laying eggs.
  3. Clear out rain gutters so they don't hold water and become a mosquito breeding ground.
  4. Keeping your grass mowed prevents Mosquitoes from hanging out in tall grass and weedy areas.
  5. You could also add a bat house in your yard. One brown bat can eat as many as 1,000 mosquitoes in one hour.
  6. A fan can create a breeze which mosquitoes dislike.
  7. Move trash and recycling bins away from the house. Make sure lids are always secured. If using trash cans outside at your party, make sure they have lids.
  8. Keep all food covered. Mesh food tents work well to keep flies off your picnic fare and can be lifted off easily when it's time to eat.
  9. To keep ants off your deck, slide some garlic cloves between the boards.
  10. Put a chalk line around the area you don't want the ants to cross. Cucumber slices, peels and mint leaves also repel ants.
These tips can help you enjoy your next gathering or day outside without as many bugs. Visit foremost.com for more info.
