Mason Jar Bug Repellent Handily Banishes Creepy-Crawlies

I love summertime, but Im not so keen on all the critters and creepy-crawlies that show up along with the warm weather.

While there are plenty of bugs that you want to have around, like these insects that help protect your garden, nobody wants to contend with more predatory bugs like mosquitoes and horseflies.

Not only are bug bites itchy and uncomfortable, many of these bugs carry diseases and infections that we still dont fully understand.

With that in mind, were all about finding all-natural, DIY tactics for keeping the bugs at bay. Screens and long sleeves help, but the ultimate boost for an evening party might be handful of homemade bug-repelling Mason jar candles!
