A Few Down Home Tips for Battling Skeeters, by Jennifer Prestwich- your Adams County, Belle Creek and Dunes Park REALTOR®
Although spring has loomed stormy and wet here in Adams County, the heat of summer will soon be upon us. Our Belle Creek and Dunes Park lawns promise to be lush and green with all the rain!
The other thing that extra ring brings to Adams County? Mosquitoes! 
Back when I was a kid, we loaded on the Off- in aerosol cans, no less- and went out to play. But times have changed, and nowadays, us parents are looking for something safer.
Try these ideas that I learned from my good friend Julie Ratinoff (the Organized Goddess) for some good, clean outdoor fun!
Insect Repellent
Put a few unwrapped bars of rosemary, lemongrass or cintronella soap on a picnic table and unwanted flying guests will quickly bug off.
Itch Reliever
Can't stop scratching because you forgot your bars of soap to leave out? Rub the itch with a bar of oatmeal or aloe-infused soap to quell the urge.
See you at the park, neighbors!
