ideas to help keep bugs away

This time of year means backyard fun!! Here are some ideas I found in my June issue of Parents mag.

Make a citrus centerpiece by using a jar, or bowl of halved lemons. This may help keep mosquitoes away because they hate the smell!

Blow them away by pointing a fan at the table area, this will keep flying pests from landing on you or the food table. The bonus of this is that it will help keep you cool as well!

Bugs are drawn to blue or uv light so illuminate your deck with a yellow-coated bulb, like GE's Bug Lite.
