From BBQs, picnics, swimming days, and so much more, it’s time to get outside thanks to the warmer temps and the fact that many are on summer vacation. Although summer is an amazing time of year, it can also mean lots of bugs since ticks, mosquitoes and other bugs like to join in on our summer fun. Bugs are seriously a pain when we’re trying to have fun and can damper our summer plans. Mosquitoes can give us itchy and painful bites and even major health problems like allergic reactions or severe illnesses. And with Zika Virus and West Nile Virus scaring everyone, it’s important to keep yourself safe from bug bites this summer. Learn how to ward off mosquitoes with Avon.
