Trying to enjoy your outdoor space without mosquitoes, flies and other insects? Try these tips:

• Use herbs – Plant fresh herbs, like rosemary, garlic and lemongrass, around your yard to repel insects. You can also toss fresh rosemary or sage into the coals of your backyard fire pit to repel mosquitoes.

• Citronella candles – Light up some cintronella candles to scare away the mosquitoes and make your evening pleasant.
