We're headed out camping this afternoon and I stopped by WINCO to pick up a few things before we go. I went down the seasonal aisle looking for zinc oxide sunscreen and didn't find any :( But I did find yellow jacket traps and I knew we needed another one for the back yard (1 isn't cutting it) and I thought it would be a good idea to buy one for camping. Bees are usually hanging around when there's food, and I don't want any of us to get stung. They were $4.88/each and I hope to catch many of those little buggers this weekend!
Do you have bothersome yellow jackets in your yard? How do you keep pests away while camping?
Lacey, that's a great idea that many campers tend to forget. Yellow Jackets are really mean things and they become very excitable near food. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteHi Lacey!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you, Crunchy! ;)
You know how I keep pests away while camping?
I leave the kids at home--teeheeharhar!
I crack myself up!
No, really, what we do is stay in a hotel.
When I was growing up, we camped A LOT--I mean, we even had a pop-up trailer-camper, went fishin' and ate our fish for dinner over a little stove, after I scaled the fish--
When I grew up, I decided, I didn't want to go camping anymore--oh, we tried it a few times, but I think I'd had enough growing up---sigh.
I hope you are enjoying your trip!
I know I was a lot of help answering your pest question!
I am happy to know another sister in Christ!!
I AM curious to see how you will fare, not buying anything new in a year...
Do you mean new as in from a store?
Well, I just have to be your "official" follower/friend and find out!
(boy I type a lot, sorry!)
Blessings to you as you make your home, or tent.
Hugs,
