Mosquitoes in Texas are horrible! They are huge too, like Longhorns! We live very close to the lake which makes Mosquitoes an even bigger issue for us. Thing is, we like to be outside a lot. We like to go to the lake, go fishing, camping, etc…all places that the Mosquitoes are the most horrible.
Cutter sent me an amazing basket of goodies, I had no idea there were so many products! Products that make it easy for a family to make the best use of them.
First of all the product I like to use the most is Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent. I love this stuff and so does Morgan. Thing is, my bestie is allergic to Eucalyptus and I had NO idea! I sprayed on my girls and myself in the house (dumb of me) before we went outside. So make sure your friends are not allergic to Eucalyptus! As for me, I love Eucalyptus and actually use the scent in my home a lot, I’m surprised I hadn’t almost killed Jenny before! No, she really didn’t almost die, but it made her cough a lot. I’ll just use it when she isn’t over haha!
The Natural Insect Repellent is actually a product I had used earlier this summer. My mother had it when they were here camping with us. She has asthma and uses this spray instead of any others. It doesn’t seem to bother her like the other kids do. We used it on all the kids and this would have to be my next fave after the Eucalyptus.
Recently I went camping with my girls on an American Heritage Girls campout. We took Insect Repellent Ultra Light Aerosol, All Family® Mosquito Wipes and the Natural Insect Repellent that I spoke of above. The All Family® Mosquito Wipes were great for using with Emma, she’s the youngest girl. It made it easier to apply on my little wiggle worm! Lauren liked using the Repellent Ultra Light Aerosol, she said it was easy for her to do on her own (She’s 7!). In the photo below is our friend Olivia, the girls were up late telling scary stories! Bug spray was a must!
Out on the boat is where we keep the Backwoods Cutter® Insect Repellent Aerosol! This is the Mack Daddy! Keeps away the biggest and the baddest! Jeremy fishes tournaments and this is a must have! Especially for all night tournaments!
To keep the Mosquitoes in check around our home, we have been using the Natural Outdoor Fogger and the Backyard™ Bug Control Spray Concentrate Ready-to-Spray. These are great for keeping things in check! I have to be honest and say that the Mosquitoes have not been as bad this year due to this horrible drought, but they are still out there…waiting… Those suckers always zone right in on me too!
The Backyard™ Bug Control Spray Concentrate Ready-to-Spray is awesome! It connects right to your hose and covers up to 5,000 square feet and lasts up to 8 weeks! It does not just fight the skeeters, but also other annoying pests! Ants are terrible about trying to get in to our home. They want our water! Spraying this has helped tremendously with these critters! Be sure to check the whole list of what it keeps away!
Cookouts at the lake call for Cutter® Natural Outdoor Fogger. This is a must for outdoor events! I love all these natural products so that I can feel safe about using them for my family. The other must have is the Cutter® CitroGuard™ Triple Wick American Holiday Candle. I absolutely swear by Citronella candles! I love how they smell and they really work!

The Backyard™ Bug Control Spray Concentrate Ready-to-Spray is what we need. We have so many mosquitoes that love to come around the pool area. You cannot get away from them. We use Cutter® Natural Insect Repellent
constantly and it works wonderful but cannot use it and get in the pool, defeats the purpose. Having the Backyard Bug Control would be like screening in the whole yard.
Backyard Bug Control Fogger, for our patio and campouts… bugs are bad this year.

I think the Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellent would be great! Having been to Texas one year when you had no drought, I will not even try and say our bugs are bigger- but I will say they are persistant and will bite the heck out of ya and this sounds nice!
