That fire pit can keep bugs at bay – if you burn some of this...


If you enjoy sitting around the fire pit on a summer night – throw some sage on there. 

It smells great and bugs hate it. Another popular herb, lemon balm, is a natural repellent too. It’s super-easy to grow or you can buy it in bunches. Citronella is another plant that bugs hate. 

Some varieties of wood in your fire will do the trick too. Try some bark from a cedar tree, or toss some BBQ chunks of hickory or mesquite into your pit or chiminea. Just be sure to soak them in water first.
