Description

Spring is here—and so are the bugs! In this episode, Mike dives into practical tips for keeping mosquitoes, gnats, and ticks at bay, so you can actually enjoy your yard without the bites. Learn the do’s and don’ts of bug zappers, why DEET isn’t as scary as it sounds, and how an unexpected drugstore body spray (hint: vanilla!) can be your secret weapon.

Plus, Mike answers listener questions about:

  • Saving winter-damaged boxwoods 🌿

  • Battling invasive zoysia grass 🌱

  • The right time to rake and clean up your lawn 🍂

And if you’re out near Lake Onalaska—don’t miss the pelican migration!
