We have the most fantastic fire pit at my house. My husband built it earlier this year and we’ve immensely enjoyed it – except when it was 110 degrees outside!  However, we do have one complaint and that’s the mosquitoes!

I believe – if this works – we may have found a great solution.  From Intuition Physician,

One more tip I have for summer firepits/bonfires is to throw a stick of sage into the fire.  The sage scented smoke that the fire will emit keeps mosquitos and other annoying bugs at bay for the entire area.  We love it.  Usually the sage stick that we throw into our fire is enough, no need for bug sprays.

Am ready to test this great idea!
