Set the Mood for Your July 4th BBQ: Using Lemongrass and Lavender to Keep Pests at Bay.


Happy Independence Day!


Fourth of July celebrations are synonymous with food, fun, friends and family, and plenty of outside play time. Enjoying time at the pool, soaking in the sun at the lake, or sharing a meal at the family backyard BBQ are a few ways we love to celebrate Independence Day in the Lonestar State.


4th of July wouldn't be the same without the familiar smell of hotdogs and burning wood, the sound of laughter and fireworks in the air, or the feeling of the sun on your skin on a hot, summer day in San Antonio, Texas.


Of course, this Texas heat wouldn't be complete without a few Texas sized pests at your summer celebration. Keeping mosquitoes and other pesky insects away is key in setting the mood for any gathering and studies have shown that using certain fragrances can help keep some insects away for several hours at a time.


Using fragrances like lemongrass and lavender in your home and around your yard is a great way to deter mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and wasps among other various insects that may crash your party. Their intense fragrance helps mask carbon dioxide and lactic acid which is what attracts mosquitoes to their hosts. Their natural compounds also help deter other pests like snakes, moths, lizards, and mice that may invade your space and dampen the mood.


Consider planting these bountiful plants in your yard to keep your area smelling great and protected year round or light one of our Lavender or Lemongrass candles at your next gathering or in your home to keep these pests at bay with fresh fragrance.
