Summer is now officially here, folks! Are you excited? I know I am.
With summer comes nice weather, lots of sunshine, cool evenings and... oh yeah, bugs.
While there are plenty of handy-dandy insects that will help keep your garden in tip-top shape, there are also plenty of predatory bugs like mosquitoes and wasps that will wreak havoc on your barbecues and other outdoor gatherings, while providing little benefit to anyone but themselves.
To make matters worse, such insects tend to carry diseases, infections and allergens that can turn enjoyable outdoor activities into emergency situations in a flash.
The good news? You can fight back.
