Warm weather is teasing us with opportunities to go outside right now, and I am completely ready. I am so tired of the indoors that I have my beach bag packed, I've been shopping for snorkeling gear, and I even bought a new hammock for fresh-air napping.
But you know who else is excited about this warm weather? Mosquitoes. They have been getting ready to flood the air with their evil stinging offspring. And we all know from experience that when the mosquitoes — and gnats, and flies, and no-see-ums — are happy, we humans are miserable.
It's time to take arms against this cloud of troublesome creatures and, in opposing, end them.
Here are some tools for your arsenal.

You don't have to slather anything on your own skin or the kids for this bug repellent to work. Just fill it with a fuel cartridge and repellent mat, turn it on, and set it down on a table, beach blanket, or nearby log. It will create a 15-foot no-bug zone around you. And it lasts for 12 hours.
This rechargeable bug chaser is perfect for the patio.
Charge up this powerful bug repeller, load it with a bug-repellent pad, and turn it on. Then you can set it down anywhere on your patio and it will chase the bugs away for up to 40 hours. There is no flame or fuel cartridge, so you can travel with this one. It's perfect for your vacation rental or campsite.
This zapper keeps all the bugs out of your yard.
Hang this powerful bug zapper on your deck, on the porch, or in the yard where the kids play to terminate the flies, mosquitoes, gnats, wasps, and whatever else is tormenting you when you enjoy your outdoor space. It lures them in with UV light that's harmless to humans and zaps them. It protects up to an acre.
These solar-powered bug zappers can go anywhere.
These clever solar-powered lights are both a landscape light and a bug zapper. They charge all day (or you can add a battery for cloudy days) and zap all night. Just stick them into the ground as you would a path light and choose whether you want them to light up as a bug zapper or a white landscape light.
This is a two-pack.
Plug in this repeller to rid your home of pests.
If the pests that plague you are indoors, this ultrasonic electromagnetic pest repeller will chase them out using sound in a frequency you can't hear. But they can! And they don't like it. It doesn't kill them. It just makes them hate the neighborhood, pack their bags, and leave. Perfect!
All you do is plug it in, and everything from ants to vermin will skedaddle.
