Sometimes you want to just lose the iPhone and iPad and take the family camping for a weekend. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes will beat you to the campground and start setting up their plans to ruin your vacation. Don’t let them win! Use these helpful tips for warding off the mosquitoes and salvaging your family getaway.
Zip-up the tent
If the mosquitoes are getting bad at a campsite, sometimes the only solution is to seek refuge. You don’t want the enemy lying in bed with you, so make sure you separate the inside of your tent from the outdoors. When you enter the tent make sure to zip it behind you and double check the seal. It is always a good idea to shake off your body before entering the tent to make sure nothing is hitching a ride.
Watch your scent
Despite all of the contrasting opinions of what attracts bugs to people, one remains constant. Mosquitoes and other insects love fragrant hygiene products. If you are going camping, what is the point of getting all done up anyway? Make sure any soaps, shampoos or cleaning products you might have are unscented.
Weather the storm
Camping after or during a significant rain storm is never a good idea. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in moist environments, which are far more abundant after rainfall. When you are selecting a campsite, make sure it is high and dry so you can avoid mosquitoes. This will allow you to enjoy the better parts of what mother nature has to offer.
