How This Grandma Protected Her Family From Painful Mosquitoes With a Quick Trick | | Sandra Fisher, 67, never imagined her beloved yard would almost kill her.
Happily retired, her new passion was gardening. She spent hours tending the Crape Myrtles, Rhododendrons, and other plants in her front yard… but then something terrible happened. One afternoon when Sandra was gardening, she noticed a mosquito creeping up her arm. SWAT! She quickly slapped her arm killing the mosquito, but little did she know it was too late. After she had gone back into the house she noticed red bumps all over her arms and legs. She had been eaten alive!
"The pain was bad," Sandra recalls. "But the embarrassment was worse." I couldn't stop scratching and the bites got so bad I didn't want to be seen in public.
A couple days later she developed a fever. With so many deadly diseases caused by mosquitoes, Sandra decided to go to the doctor. He said it was just a bad reaction to the amount of bites she had received and that luckily it wasn't something more serious. "But what if it had been," she said, — "all because of these tiny little pests that invaded my yard."
"All those bites" she said. "Finally made me realize how dangerous these tiny mosquitoes can be. It wasn't just pain from the bites, it was the thought of losing my one hobby left in life that brought me joy."
She knew she had to do something to get rid of these mosquitoes so she could keep gardening. Immediately she started looking into bug sprays, zappers and even a service to come spray for mosquitoes."
"That's when the real nightmare began," Sandra said. "I called a pest control company and they wanted to charge $600 just for one treatment! Way out of our budget. So we went to the hardware store and purchased those battery-powered bug zappers, what a waste of money. Within two weeks, they'd completely stopped working and when they did they only helped a little. And the bug sprays that contain harsh chemicals and DEET just weren't worth the risks"
Running out of options, Sandra had a tough choice to make: spend a fortune getting her yard sprayed for mosquitoes, or give up her gardening hobby. |
