It's summer time and you want to enjoy the outdoors without the hazards of biting bugs. So you need to protect yourself from mosquitoes.

When you think about mosquito pest control you could break it down into individual control and public control.

Not that that will make you feel any better, but at least you can prepare as the evening begins to cool and bring with it swarms of flying pests.

Another popular type of mosquito control is the burning of citronella oil. The smoke from these candles or burners might keep the mosquitoes away, but in heavily windy conditions, the citronella may prove to be useless in keeping the mosquitoes away. Additional options are to spray your camping equipment and clothing with permethrin, which is also an insecticide. Make sure you check out all your options.
