10 Tips to Keep Pests Away
While Camping
PACK A LOT OF PEST
CONTROL SPRAYS
These sprays can be used not only on
your surroundings but on your own
body too. Several campers spray their
tents, as well as their clothes
with insect repellents while camping.
STAY DRY
Pests like mosquitoes breed in open
water. Thus, they will be more
attracted to wet places like ponds,
streams and so on.
USE YOUR FAVORITE
FRAGRANCES AGAINST THEM
Lavender, for instance, is a natural pest
repellent that mosquitoes absolutely
detest. Another effective natural bug
repellent is rosemary, which can be
added to your food for extra
flavor while camping.
CREATE A PROTECTIVE
ANTI-PEST BARRIER
After setting up your tent and
marking your territory, keep the
bugs out of it by spraying
anti-pest spray in a circle around
the camp area.
PACK THE RIGHT
KIND OF FOOD
It has been discovered that food
like onions, garlic and citrus fruits
act as natural bug repellents since
they detest the smell of it. An
unorthodox method to show how
anti-pest you are will be to rub
these on your body and relax.
WEAR COMFORTABLE BUT
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
The ideal kind of clothes will be long,
unrevealing and light-colored. If you
want to take it a step further to repel
pests, you can sleep in your tent with
gloves and socks on.
PICK THE RIGHT TIME
It is better to postpone your camping trip
to a time much later than the post-rainfall
period too, since it happens to be when
mosquito larvae eggs hatch.
CHECK YOUR LIGHTING
The ideal kind of clothes will be long,
unrevealing and light-colored. If you
want to take it a step further to repel
pests, you can sleep in your tent with
gloves and socks on.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT KIND OF
SLEEPING TENT AND SLEEPING BAG
Several tents in the market are equipped
with mesh panels and even water
repellents that can be quite useful
when it comes to acting
as natural pest repellents
BRING A FIRST-AID KIT
It is a good idea to treat the wounds as
soon as they happen, since keeping them
untreated for long will lead them
to fester and create bigger
problems, like infections
and other diseases.
