beat the bugs

for the fourth of july week, it’s a good time to think about skeeter avoidance. while i was on vacation last week, my kids and i got bit up at some point but we don’t even know when. and try as we could, we couldn’t stop itching.

our go site has a story about “green” ways to beat bugs. it’s not very upbeat, i have to say. but a cbs story offers alternatives, including one by burt’s bees. i love that brand. have to try it.

anyone have any other suggestions?
