Bad Bugs

If bugs are bugging you on your deck or patio – plant some herbs...

Geraniums help too. Amy Stewart, author of “Wicked Bugs,” says geranium oil is even better protection against mosquitoes than DEET. They also hate herbs like peppermint, basil and oregano. Placing some potted herbs around your favorite summer hangout will look good, smell good and keep the bad bugs at bay.

Bird baths, feeders and houses can help too. The more birds you have, the more bugs they’ll eat.
