Well it’s just about mosquito season here. I imagine some of you already have mosquito’s in your gardens.

I hate them! I always swell up quite a bit where they bite me. If it’s not an allergic reaction is definitely an enhanced reaction to their bites … so you can see why I don’t like being bit by them.

Now with West Nile spreading throughout North America I’ve got even more reason to not want to be bit by these pesky blood sucking critters.

Do you do anything to prevent mosquitoes from biting you, or to deter them from your yard?

Naturally rules such as not leaving standing water in a bucket or container apply here … but what else do you do to keep from getting bitten?

I’m not big on chemicals. Not on me or in my yard. We do however use citronella candles, and citronella oil in our tiki torches. That helps to some degree, but it doesn’t totally keep them at bay.

What do you do?
