Summer Grilling Series
Saturdays are best spent in the sun, especially summer Saturdays. When you think about your weekend check list of relaxation you tend to think of the essential items. Maybe a great recipe, friends, or family to hang out with, but do you ever consider the mosquitos in your yard? After a long week of work and getting the kids off to school the last thing I want to do is think about mosquitos ruining my fun. A mosquito free Saturday grilling s’mores is just what you need.
A good weekend should consist of hanging out by the firepit relaxing with friends or family. There is nothing better than this in the warmer months. The children love to roast marshmallows and the adults love to relax and have great conversations. The one thing to always have on your mind is where there is conversation, there are mosquitos. They travel and are attracted to humans by their carbon dioxide in their breathing. Mosquitos also tend to come out more during the dawn and dusk hours. Follow these steps for a mosquito free Saturday grilling.
Mosquitos come out to feed around sunrise and sunset and at nighttime. They are rarely active midday when the sun is out since sunlight and high temperatures can quickly dehydrate them. Exact times of day mosquitos are out can vary greatly depending on many variables such as, weather, temperatures, and where you live.
Since there are so many variables regarding mosquitos feeding times, you need to be diligent with prevention on your property. There are many ways to ensure your home is safe this season. Always check for standing water on your property after a rainfall. This is a quick task that can save you from bites and diseases.
