Why Mosquitoes Leave an Amish Yard Alone — The Old Barrel Trick

Looking for how to get rid of mosquitoes in your yard naturally — without spray, foggers, or a bug zapper?

Every method is real, cheap, and something you can do this weekend. Sit out on an Amish porch on a summer evening, and you'll notice something strange — nobody is slapping at their arms. No citronella candle. No blue zapper crackling in the corner. No can of poison fog. And yet the mosquitoes leave them be. It isn't luck, and it isn't tougher skin.
