While important to the environment, and fascinating, wasps are a frustrating part of life. Not only are wasp stings painful, but in some cases, they can cause issues for young children, the elderly, or those who are allergic to wasp stings.
With the warmer weather, more people are spending time in the great outdoors, exploring and enjoying the wonder that nature has to offer. From long hikes along the Blue Ridge mountains to short runs through your neighborhood, the outdoors is calling, and we all must go.
While it may be time to begin spending more time outdoors, ticks and mosquitoes will also be enjoying the opportunity to get out of their nests and feed on unsuspected humans. These obnoxious pests are not only frustrating but can carry diseases that can cause serious problems in humans and pets.
With that said, finding ways to prevent ticks and mosquitoes is imperative to having an enjoyable spring and summer season outside. One of the most well-known ways to prevent ticks and mosquitoes is DEET.
