I did some mowing this weekend and let me tell you. The bugs are out in full force! I saw ticks, black flies and even a hornet! This is expected as the weather gets warmer we should be ready for the bugs to come out! We can however fight back! I have a few tips on how you can avoid being covered in bites. These might not work all the time but I have either seen these things or they have worked for me!
Easy Ways To Keep Bugs Off You!
- Smolder an egg carton– If you are working in the garden this can help keep black flies and mosquitoes away
- Wear a bug jacket
- Use Bug Spray– Either homemade or store bought
- Empty Water Pools– Make sure to empty any pools of water around your property like water in old tires and things like that mosquitoes love laying eggs in those!
- Install Bug Lights- You can buy and install lights that will attract and kill bugs
- Get some ginny hens- They eat ticks and other insects! (you might have some mess to clean up though)
Those are a few of my suggestions for the next time you are in your yard mowing or doing whatever. Do you have anything special you do to keep the bugs off you?
