A little dose of the outdoors is good for the soul. Going camping allows you to take time to breathe in the fresh air and be one with nature. Getting close to nature demands respect, and it\u2019s important to remember that wildlife rules this land – including insects.<\/p>\n

So how do you keep bugs out of your tent?<\/p>\n

To keep insects out of your tent start by controlling scents, using low lighting, removing food sources, and using the proper bug repellents. You can also use some insect repellents that are Deet based but this will mainly repel mosquitos. Other manufactured chemicals can be used to encircle your tent to keep ground-based insects away but be sure they are safe for the environment.

The pesky little creatures swarm about your head, around your food, and sometimes like to make camp with you in your tent. It can not only be annoying to hear a buzz in your ear when you\u2019re trying to get some much-needed rest, but it can be dangerous. Mosquitos and ticks can carry with them diseases that can have repercussions much farther than ruining your trip.<\/p>\n

Bugs have their purpose, though. They\u2019re an integral part of the circle of life for the wilderness. They\u2019re the food for some of the other critters you may welcome the sight of when you\u2019re out in the woods. Though you can\u2019t exterminate them all, you can do your best to keep them from the privacy and solace of your tent.<\/p>\n
