If you step outside during the summer in North Carolina, you know that you’re going to get visited by some unwanted guests– bugs. From mosquitoes to gnats to flies to bees, Eastern NC is full of these pesky critters. However, they don’t have to ruin your time spent outdoors. Here are some tips to help you keep the bugs away while you enjoy the great outdoors:
- Avoid wearing perfume, cologne, scented lotions/soaps, and hairspray when you’re outdoors as this attracts bugs.
- Apply bug spray before you head outside.
- When cooking or eating outside, cover your food with saran wrap, paper towels, or netting to keep the bugs at bay.
- Clean up thoroughly after preparing or eating food outdoors.
- Use citronella candles to keep the bugs away when you’re outside, but be sure to never leave candles unattended.
- You can create a homemade bug spray with mint mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide. Spray this outdoors (but not on yourself) to deter bugs.
- Plug a fan in and sit it outdoors to keep the bugs away.
Eastern NC is a beautiful place to be, so don’t let the bugs ruin your time outside.
