NO MORE BUGS TO BUG YOU!

LOL!

Believe it or not, I'm getting to the point that they don't even bother me at all now! The swarms of skeeters really bypass me if I skip a shower! Same deal with Judy! So I keep the patio size citronella pot burning when I'm working in the shed... really helps!

I had heard of the bugs being attracted to flower smells.

If you have peppermint, try rubbing a handfull of it on your exposted areas and see what happens, some say it works.
