Green mosquito beaters

You have to protect yourself from mosquitoes because of the threat of West Nile. But how can you do it without spraying harsh insecticides into the air? Thankfully, there are lots of environmentally-friendly solutions. Here is a roundup of new natural products to help keep mosquitoes at bay while you're gardening. Find out some other methods for reducing your risk for West Nile disease in the garden in our Mosquito safety guide.

## Mosquito curtains An alternative to covering your deck (and your guests!) with bug spray, these mosquito curtains provide a physical barrier against mosquitoes. They’re washable and removable, and come in various colours, including white, ivory and black. And, they are made to fit most porches, because the screens hang from tracking similar to the type used in hospital rooms. *Mosquito Curtains, $320 US for typical sized sized 40’ x 10’ curtains. To order, call 866-622-0916.*
