Keeping The Bugs Away
It is going to be that season again! We have put together a few tips so that you can avoid bugs when camping.

Stay away from wet, grassy areas
Avoid using fragrant or scented personal products
Wear light colored long sleeve shirts and pants
Wear a hat and a bandana on your head and neck
Keep cool - bugs are attracted to sweat
Traditional bug repellent - most contain DEET as the active ingredient against bugs. Use this sparingly. This chemical may be harmful and should not be used on children
Sunscreen/insect repellant - this may have a lower concentration of DEET
Citronella candles and oil - helps keep mosquitoes out of the area
Head Nets - keeps bugs away from your head and face
Garlic - it will secrete through your pores
Zinc or Vitamin B - also secretes through your pores
Citrus - deters the bugs
Coconut soap and coconut oil - repels mosquitoes
