Screened In
Porches Keep Those Pesky Mosquitoes Away
Is it summer time yet? Uh, what am I saying? I must have
dosed off again. It's no where near June yet. In fact, we're
just beginning winter here soon. So much for lounging
outdoors with an ice-cold glass of lemonade. Nevertheless,
let's think toward the near future. The seasons pass so
quickly anyway. In no time flat it will be summer once
again. So what about those summer months? Are they perfect?
Of course not! You may love the weather, but I'd be willing
to bet that you don't love the bugs. Did I hit that one on
the nose or what? What we all require to relax more
comfortably are screened in porches. This concept is as old
as they get, but still as awesome and necessary as ever
before.
OUCH! Darn it, not another mosquito bite! That one right
there could be infused with the West Nile virus for all I
know. Yep, you heard it right. The West Nile virus is clear
across the nation these days. We're all at the mercy of this
nasty health affliction. It's high time we all took
necessary precautions. By this I mean, bug spray, screened
in porches and possibly even a mosquito magnet. While I'm
cure you've heard of the first two, a mosquito magnet may be
a fresh concept to your ears. These are nifty devices that
literally warn off and kill any mosquitoes that approach
your home. A wise investment if you ask me. Especially with
the West Nile virus in full-effect. We have to take more
precautions now days. Speaking of which, you can always
count on screened in porches. I believe this is what the
concept came about for. Let's face it! We hate irksome bugs
and insects swarming all over us. They're pesky and they
often bite. So if you currently have a porch off of your
home, or you're considering building one, then it's time to
look into screened in porches. They truly are much more
relaxing in during the summer months.
I noticed a few weeks back that my neighbor is installing a
large porch on the rear of his home. He's clearly hip to the
benefits of screened in porches, because I spotted the roll
of screen lying on his lawn. This is the only way to go. We
can't fool around with insect bites any longer. Furthermore,
if you're headed outdoors this summer, take along the bug
spray. Why risk it?
