- There are a lot of mosquitoes this year! This site does not get sprayed! Here are some mosquito control ideas.
- Spray repellent
- Bug bracelets
- Mosquito coils
- Fans placed at ground level. Mosquitos are weak flyers because of their light weight. The breeze from the fans makes it difficult for them to fly. Even battery powered fans work. Mosquitoes gather under tables and chairs protected from the breeze. A fan at ground level helps remove them.
