It’s Still Mosquito Season

January 27, 2021October 4, 2011 by SuperAdmin

The summer is over and the days are getting cooler. Is it time to pack away Bite-Lite’s Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles for the season? Annapolis, MD, Department of Health officials are saying it’s unusual for the mosquito population to be so heavy at this time of year. The cooler temperatures and fewer daylight hours usually kill off insects. However, the soggy days of late summer and early fall have spawned a thirsty, swarming mosquito population. “We have several large broods of mosquitoes developing this time of year, when we’d normally expect [the mosquitoes] to be in decline.”

This means that despite the cooler temperatures, you need to protect yourself from mosquito bites. This news was also true this week in Massachusetts when the MA Department of Health announced week that mosquitoes with the West Nile virus had been identified in and around the Marblehead area.

When you go outside, take caution. Light up Bite-Lite Mosquito Repellent Candles, available at local Retailers and on our Products page.

Make The Day Count!

Enjoy An Old Fashion Country Fair

April 16, 2021August 9, 2011 by SuperAdmin

As Labor Day approaches, County and State Fairs are just getting started. Produce has had a full season to grow and it’s now time to bake that blue ribbon pie. We all know about our own local fairs and festivals, but where do we turn for options outside your environs?

You can check out the calendar at County Fairgrounds. Type in the name of the state you’re interested in, click enter, and start making your plans for the weekend. htpt://www.countyfairgrounds.net/calendar.html

Our personal favorite fair is the Big E, in Springfield MA, also known as The Eastern States Exposition. http://www.thebige.com/fair/

The Big E is billed as “New England‘s Great State fair, representing all six of the New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Each of these New England states are prominently represented at the Big E which happens to be the 6th largest agricultural fair in the country.

Enjoy the season. Visit the fairs. When you get home, light up Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles, and take a cool drink out onto the porch. Keep the mosquitoes at a distance. The season isn’t over until the first frost. Look for our natural repellents candles at your local retailer or find them on our online store.

Give us a shout with your favorite County or State Fair. Tell us why its special to you.

Happy Hour for Mosquitoes

January 27, 2021July 28, 2011 by SuperAdmin

So many things in life are acquired tastes with personal preferences. It seems mosquitoes are no different.

The IRD Research Centre in France recently held a closed environment study in Burkina Faso, Africa to define mosquito determining factors. Half of the participants in the study were given water to drink and the other half beer. Beer consumption on the part of the participants consistently increased their attractiveness to mosquitoes.

While it was determined that the change in breath may have been a factor, it was also noted that it could be learned behavior, since a host under the influence may have slower reflexes. Bottom-line, if you’ve had a few beers, you are less likely to swat at a pesky mosquito!

With so many variables, the one thing we can be sure of are Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles. These mosquito candles are the most effective, natural deterrents to mosquitoes. They are elegant and smell great, too. Find them at your local Retailer or shop now on our Products page. https://bite-lite.com

Getting Your Garden Ready for Spring

January 26, 2021March 11, 2011 by SuperAdmin

Ready to get excited about your first trip to the garden nursery? Before going, you need to review what you already have and what you would like to have growing in your yard, on your deck or patio. Do you have good food, water, and shelter sources for the plants and animals that inhabit your garden/yard area?

With paper and pencil in hand, sketch out what you had in place from last year. Make notes on what grew well and what needs to be replaced due to various growing issues. Do you recall where the problem areas were last year? Can you replace shrubs or plants that are wildlife friendly? Is it a native in your region?

Native plants are already adapted to your climate. They are easily found at your nurseries and require less soil preparation, fewer chemicals, and use less water. Beautiful native plants from The American Beauties™ Native Plant collection are low-maintenance and attract wildlife and beneficial pollinators like butterflies, bees, and birds

Check out the upcoming gardening seminars, free classes offered by the County Extension offices and order nursery and seed catalogs now. Spring planting is right around the corner….

Remember to stock up on Bite-Lite® Natural Mosquito Repellent Candles for those summer celebrations in the backyard.
