I've got an idea that I am going to test tonight. Last year I bought one of those lanterns that are supposed to keep the skeeters away for X number of feet ...I've thrown the packaging away ... and I am going to put it on a small table in the area where I plan to work tonight to see if it will protect me enough so that I can weed when it's cooler. I remember that the packaging said it would protect enough area to make the patio bug free, but I wasn't out there much last year for some health reasons, so I haven't really found out if it works. Tonight's the test.
Last night I sprayed some Off on a couple of sheets and put one on the patio table and one on the bench and came in with no bites. That's a major success for me ! I'm worried about West Nile disease, too.
Smiles,
Lyn
