After moving to a new apartment without AC recently, I opted to sleep with the screened window slightly open instead of being baked alive. After the first night, I woke up covered in large, unsightly welts left from what looked like a mosquito feast.
Summer has earned its spot as the preferred season for the majority of people with increased outdoor time, sunlight and more relaxed people. But one thing that pretty much everyone agrees on is that the insects thriving off the warm weather can be terrible to contend with.
Fruit flies will appear and multiply at an unbelievable rate seemingly out of nowhere. Mosquitoes will find your backyard like every time their eyes close they see a map leading directly there. If you want to limit the number of times you have to cut a backyard barbecue, cabin fire pit, or dinner out on the patio short this summer, buying insect repellents that work is about as foolproof as you can get.
Before the summer gets into full swing and you’re covered in bug bites like me, why not fix the problem before it even starts?
