The Bugs of Summer
I am so excited to bring my readers insightful, educational and humorous information regarding the pests we all deal with summer months.
As a mother of two young daughters (ages 7 and 5) I deal with many issues. The newest being the magic trick of taking away bug bites. The bugs are already in full force as our summer is just beginning. My daughters like to imagine themselves tomboys, at least until they get a little dirt on them or a bug bite. Then the tears will flow.
As any Super Mom would, I break out the alcohol - rubbing alcohol that is. But, it is to no effect. My daughters look at me, in disbelief that my "mommy magic" cannot alleviate the itch of the bite.

Then I realized, why treat the child when I can have the yard treated. Mosquito Platoon came out and to the amazement of my wanna-be-tomboys, not a single bite since.
