3. Safeguard the yard:

Defending your yard from pesky pests will not only improve the comfort of your home’s outdoor spaces, it will help prevent insects from finding their way indoors.

Be sure to eliminate standing water by properly tending to your lawn and by periodically clearing downspouts of debris.

Any water feature in your garden should use running water. If you have a patio or deck, consider screening it in.

If you don’t love the look of screened walls, installing ceiling fans can be an effective alternative.

Run the fans whenever you entertain to deter unwanted guests, such as mosquitos, from crashing the party.

Of course, it’s always a good idea to apply bug repellant when spending time outdoors.

Find a formula that will be easy to use, such as the new on-body products from Zevo, which include a pump spray, aerosol and lotion.

They offer eight hours of protection from mosquitoes and ticks and are lightweight, odorless and not sticky.
