Keep Mosquitoes Away From Your Home

We are hearing about the Zika Virus more and more, and the hot weather brings in many insects during the day and night.  So we thought it would be a good idea to share some DIY tips to help keep mosquitoes away from your home and your family. Follow these steps to protect your home:

1. Remove all stagnant water from your yard. This is where bugs tend to lay their eggs, so this can become a breeding area for them.

2. Apply repellent/lotion. Remember that it will only stay on you for a few hours, so you must reapply!

3. Make sure you are covering up your feet and ankles. Bugs prefer to bite the lower part of your body.

4. Wear lightweight and light color clothing. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors.
