How many of you have been bothered by mosquitoes

when you're outside, enjoying the barbecue

or visiting the local wetlands during summer?

What about that mosquito that buzzes around your bedroom at night?

I'm going to leave you with three tips

that can help you stop the bite of mosquitoes

and the buzz of mosquitoes this summer.

First of all, don't create opportunities for mosquitoes in your backyard.

Anything that traps water after rainfall will be a source of mosquitoes,

so tip out, cover up or remove these water-holding containers in your backyard.

Clean your gutters and your drains,

reduce that standing water that mosquitoes love so much around our homes.

Secondly, insect repellents are a safe and effective way to avoid mosquito bites.

Make sure you apply it as a nice, even coat

over all exposed areas of skin.

Unless you've got complete cover,

those mosquitoes will find a way

to find that gap in your repellent and bite.

Lastly, we know that operating a fan in a bedroom

can help reduce those mosquitoes that come in and buzz around our ears at night.

It disperses the smells and the temperatures around that body that attracts them;

it might make it a bit harder for that mossie to fly around and find us as well.
