Let’s talk about mosquitoes. Not the gentle, Disney-style ones with big eyes and a cartoon voice. I mean the real deal—those tiny vampires who think your backyard is an all-you-can-eat buffet and your ankles are the appetizer.
I’ve tried it all. Citronella candles, bug zappers, garlic spray, and whatever essential oil blend my neighbor swears by. (Spoiler alert: It smells like feet and does absolutely nothing.) But one mosquito control trick actually works—and it’s not fancy, high-tech, or expensive.
