My carpets are infested with fleas I've tried everything and nothing seems to work.
Spray the area with cutters backyard mosquito spray a few hours before the guests arrive, put a fan on, wear a personal clip on by off, do not have any standing water around
citronella candles or bug spray before the event, some say geraniums work but not sure about that
Citronella plants really help! You can buy them at any garden center.
Spray it down with any natural insecticide that has Lemongrass in it.
Cittronella but Avon skin so soft works as well. I have tiki torches the candles and use skin so soft the natural woodland scent. They don’t like it for some reason. I hope this helps
spray thye deck and surrounding area at least 30 minutes before expected guest arrival.
Citronella tiki torches or candles will also help
A friend of mine uses dryer sheets wound around the metal supports on her umbrella. Old-fashioned fly strips work wonders and are still available.
Put it on yourself and your guests. Your guests won’t mind. It’s a pleasant smell!
If you have fans available, place them around your deck. The moving air current disturbs mosquitos, which will keep them away.
