Is your home ready for summer? Here’s a quick checklist to make sure the house is cool, the deck is in shape and mosquitoes are far away!
How to Keep Your Home Cool for the Summer
How to Boost Backyard Living
- Replace loose or rotting boards on the deck.
- Look for popped nails on the deck and replace them with galvanized deck screws.
How to Keep Mosquitoes from Your Home for Summer
- Eliminate all standing water (whether it’s in a birdbath, inflatable pool or mud puddle).
- Generate air movement. A simple $20 box fan below enough air to discourage mosquitoes.
- Repel them with scents (rosemary, lemon eucalyptus oil).
