Ah, summer. While nothing beats hanging out in the yard with a good book<\/a>, we could do without being bitten to bits by mosquitos every year. And while we kinda agree with The Simpsons<\/em>‘ Ned Flanders that mosquito bites “sure are fun to scratch<\/a>,” the scars they leave on our arms and legs are not cute.<\/p>\n

So we were in luck when we discovered this nifty little hack: Keep an oscillating fan on nearby. Mosquitoes are relatively weak fliers, so placing a fan on your deck, patio or table can provide a low-tech, chemical-free solution. It’s especially handy when the pesky pests get indoors.<\/p>\n

Not only does it work, but this method has been endorsed by the New York Times<\/a><\/em> and American Mosquito Control Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ready to become a big fan of fans? Here are five options we recommend.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
