21. Burn Some Cow Poop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Last but not least, throw some poop in your campfire. In season 3, of Survivorman, Les Stroud mentions that throwing cow poop on a fire can drive away insects, including mosquitoes. Why does this work? I\u2019m really not sure, and apparently, he wasn\u2019t either. When asked, his response was “I have no idea why.” So, if you just so happen to be camping next to a pasture, make sure to grab yourself a little dried cow dung and set it on fire!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I have to admit that some of these tips are a little out there. For most campers, some candles, a good mosquito repellent, and some thought and planning when deciding what time of year and where to set up camp is all you\u2019ll need. However, if you don\u2019t like spraying chemicals all over you and your family, you may want to try one of these all-natural alternatives in order to keep from being on the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nHave you used any of these tips or have any tips of your own for keeping mosquitoes away while camping or just in general?
