The Heat is On!

Some of the tips should have been done earlier for the best results; others can be done now for instant results.

The Ultimage Insect Repellent

From the people who brought you Liquid Fence Deer Repellent come “The Ultimate Insect Repellent”. It's the all natural, DEET free alternative to chemical-based insect repellents... and it's so effective at repelling mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, no-see-ums and other biting insects, they back it up with a written 100% Money Back Guarantee.  I have tried it and have been happy with the results. Give it a try!  We have spray on and towelettes.
