If you've got one of those people in your family who gets absolutely eaten alive while everyone else walks away unscathed — this one's for them. Blame the "sweet blood," blame the humidity, blame the concrete swamp we call home. Whatever the reason, mosquitoes in Houston are no joke.
This week's guide is packed with DIY recipes, natural pest control swaps, and some incredible local businesses helping Houston families ditch the toxins without surrendering the backyard. And if you want to go hands-on, our friends at Gentle Roots Forest School are hosting a bug spray-making class this weekend — honestly perfect timing.
It’s mosquito season. Here’s who and what can help!
Mosquitoes buzzing in your ear, ants marching through your kitchen, roaches showing up uninvited — pests have a way of making your home feel like it's not entirely yours. For years, the default solution has been to reach for the harshest chemicals available, but what if that's been doing more harm than good? The good news is there's a whole world of natural pest control out there, from simple DIY remedies hiding in your kitchen cabinet to innovative eco-friendly brands leading the charge, and it actually works. It’s all here in our newest guide!
