5 Ways to Outsmart a Mosquito This Season

Spring showers and warm weather bring the beauty of the season — but also the return of mosquitos.

If you’re already hearing that familiar buzz or waking up with itchy bites, you’re not alone!

Here are a few quick tips to keep the bites to a minimum:

1. Eliminate standing water: Mosquitos breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty birdbaths, plant saucers, buckets, and anything else that can collect rainwater.

2. Use natural repellents: Citronella candles, essential oils like eucalyptus and lavender, and even planting mosquito-repelling plants like lemongrass and basil can help.

3. Time your outdoor activities: Mosquitos are most active during dawn and dusk. If you can, plan your outside time around those windows.

4. Wear light-colored clothing: Dark colors attract mosquitos more. Loose-fitting, light-colored clothes can help protect your skin.

5. Protect your yard: Regular lawn care and debris removal can drastically reduce mosquito hiding spots. (Need help? That’s where we come in!)

Already got a bite? Here’s how to soothe it fast:

1. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.

2. Dab a little anti-itch cream or calamine lotion.

3. Aloe vera gel and honey can also naturally calm the skin.

The key is to stay proactive before bites become a summer-long battle!

We love camping. The fresh air that blows through the mesh at night, the perfected, minimalist home, cooking in front of the tent, mostly surrounded by nature, the patter of the rain, the birdsong in the early morning hours, the scent of the forest... It's so much fun looking for a suitable place to spend the night. Where do we want to set up our house today? We want our son to experience this magic.
