The
Buzz About Mosquito Deterrents
July is here and so are the
mosquitoes. Every year these pests leave people
scratching their heads (and other parts of their bodies)
as they look for mosquito repellents.
You can begin your defense at
your birdbath.
These water sources can become stagnant breeding grounds
for mosquitoes. The Water Wiggler™ is battery-operated
and creates ripples to avoid egg laying. This
preventative measure helps decrease the number of
mosquitoes around the yard. The moving water will also
help you attract more birds.
You can also try natural
repellents. Amazon Lights™ products include incense
sticks, cones and candles that combine Andiroba tree nut
oils with citronella and other natural,
pleasant-smelling oils to dissuade outdoor
pests.
Mumz™, a clothing line that
features Buzz Off™, is the first insect repellent garden
apparel to be registered by the Environmental Protection
Agency. Kiss My Face™ products are all-natural,
non-toxic personal care items that are effective in
fending off insects.
