Avoid Mosquitoes and West Nile

Virus

 

To keep mosquitoes out of your yard:

u Stock your pond with goldfish that feed on mosquito larvae.

u Use yellow bug lights outside to discourage insects from swarming.

u Mow tall grass and weeds where bugs like to hide.

u Change water in bird baths twice a week.

u Crush marigold leaves and petals between your fingers and rub the oil on

 your skin for a mild repellent.

u Empty collected rainwater from plastic tarps on firewood and equipment.

u Toss rosemary and sage onto your grill to act as a repellant.

u Keep trees and shrubs well pruned to bring sun and wind into the yard. 

u Bugs like shade and dislike wind.

u Water grass and gardens early in the morning so water    doesn’t pool.

the one that feels right inside.
