Using insect repellents is just one way to rid yourself of mosquitoes and other annoying insects. But there are other preventative measures you can take to bug proof yourself and your home. By implementing a few simple measures, you can prevent bug bites and the spread of serious disease.
You may not know it, but mosquitoes can carry diseases such as Encephalitis, Yellow Fever, Malaria, and Dengue Fever. Ticks have long been known carriers of Lyme Disease. Instances of mosquito borne Rocky Mountain Fever are also rising dramatically.
Click this link for a few tips on how to protect yourself and your family against blood-feeding insects and the diseases they can carry.

Look around most parts of the country today, and you’ll see one thing in common….SNOW!
Seems like everyone — even our friends in Georgia and Texas — are getting hit with the white, fluffy stuff. If you find yourself snowed in this winter, here are some fun family activities to consider from the folks at Disney Family Fun.
Now get outside and enjoy some winter fun!

It’s been a while since we last saw ”Bugsy,” the Coleman Repellents mascot. We heard a rumor that he’s been hibernating during these long, cold winter months. Our team set out find him.
After a few hours of searching, we stumbled across Bugsy, who was resting in a Coleman Camping Trailer parked out back. He said he’s laying low this winter, saving up his energy for all the upcoming summer fun.
Rest up, Bugsy…summer’s just around the corner!

The Coleman® Repellents team visited Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City earlier this week. Outdoor Retailer is an industry trade show where gear manufacturers and retailers get together to showcase the hottest new products and trends in the outdoor category.
The Coleman Repellents team walked the show to visit with friends and look for fresh, new ideas for future products.
While wandering the show. we encountered the legendary and elusive Bigfoot, who was hanging out at the Leave No Trace booth. We just wish Bugsy (the Coleman Repellents mascot) was with us. It would have made for an awesome photo op!

It may seem a bit crazy this time of year, but it’s never too early to start planning (and reserving) your campsites for 2010. As camping continues to increase in popularity, it’s becoming more difficult to reserve prime locations, particularly during the peak season and holidays.
Here are some Web sites that can help you research and reserve the ideal spot for the upcoming summer. Thanks to our friends at Camping Life magazine for the link.
