I really am not a fan of the millions of flies that seem to invade my house or the millions of mosquitos that seem naturally drawn to my oldest son. I&#8217;ve seriously been outside and watched them swarm him while they ignore my younger son who is standing right next to him.<\/p>\n<p>So, what can we do? Well, this summer we&#8217;re going to try one of those home remedies that I&#8217;ve read about. We&#8217;re actually going to carry dryer sheets in our pockets. I&#8217;ve read quite a bit that this seems to be some sort of natural repellent. If that doesn&#8217;t work (and I admit I have my doubts), I&#8217;ll be going the chemical route. We&#8217;ll be looking for a more natural, eco-friendly bug spray and if nothing else, it will be DEET free. Also, we&#8217;ll go with something that has a pump versus aerosaul.<\/p>\n<p>Our theory is every little bit helps and in this case, hopefully it will help save us from some serious scratching and itching!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most annoying things about summer, other than the heat and humidity, is the bugs.
