Bobbie Mays, Board President
Remember the 1958 song “Summertime, Summertime” by Tom Jameson? Some parents at that time did not appreciate the lyrics of this popular song. Here’s a portion:
It's time to head straight for them hills It's time to live and have some thrills Come along and have a ball A regular free-for-all As we enjoy the remainder of the summer, I am thinking of some of the less pleasurable parts of the season, like insects and the heat. Summer pests can be quite bothersome, but there are ways to keep them at bay. • Remove Standing Water: Mosquitoes love stagnant water for breeding. Regularly empty flowerpots, pet dishes and other containers that collect or hold water. • Use Fans: Point a fan in the direction of mosquitoes. The moving air will deter them, and it helps keep you comfortable. • Essential Oils: To repel insects, try different essential oil combinations. Some options include peppermint, rosemary and eucalyptus lemon oils. • Seal Cracks: Inspect your unit for cracks and gaps. Seal them to prevent ants, spiders and other pests from entering. An open lanai invites little critters. Ant traps are available to you in our WG administrative office. PRESIDENT'S PEN continued on page 4
