Keep the Bugs at Bay on Your Patio

Keep your patio bug free with mosquito traps.Now is the time of year when we spend a lot of time on your patios or outdoor living space.  One of the biggest patio party crashers is bugs.  Bugs of any kind can take the fun and relaxation out of patio time.

Lots of Options for Repelling Bugs

Of course the best way to keep bugs out of your patio area is to screen it in.  This isn’t always a viable or affordable option.  Here are a few ideas to help keep the bugs from your patio:

  1. Citronella candles/torches – the properties contained in citronella make it a bug repellent.  Keep the candles or torches lit around the perimeter of your patio.
  2. Misting systems – misting systems deter bugs by emitting water.
  3. Fans – incorporate decorative fans whose winds will help keep bugs away.
  4. Bug machines – magnet and zapping machines provide good bug control, particularly mosquitoes.

If we have open patios, there are only so many months of the year we can thoroughly enjoy them.  Incorporate a bug repellent system in your backyard or patio to help you get the maximum enjoyment out of your outdoor space.
