Nothing ruins a great party like mosquitoes. They have been trained in party pooping since they arrived on earth many years ago. Lucky for you, the human race has developed some pretty cool tricks to stop mosquitoes in their tracks.
Turn Your Fan on High
Mosquitoes are small, a fan on high is our equivalent of a nor’easter. Have you ever taken flight in high wind gusts? Not fun. This is the most sensible but not always the most feasible solution if you don’t have a fan on hand.
Put Down the Beer
The sugar in beer is like a magnet for mosquitoes. When people are consuming alcohol they also tend to breathe out more carbon dioxide than usual, which means more mosquitoes. As such, larger friends or pregnant women will be more of a target as well.
Repellent Herbs for the Grill
If the BBQ is in your yard this summer, you might want to pay attention. Cooking with herbs like rosemary, lemon thyme and basil can stop those nagging mosquitoes from ruining your delicious meal. Not to mention, they also taste great with chicken, fish or just about anything you’re grilling up. For a delicious rosemary grilling recipe, click here.
Vanilla, No Not the Ice Cream
Take your everyday water spritz bottle and fill it with a cup of water. Add a hint of vanilla into the bottle and apply it to your skin. Not only will you attract people to your general area with sweet smelling skin, but you’ll disguise yourself to mosquitoes as well.
