...These kinds of light bulbs are always clearly labeled on the packages. For the most part, any light that is more yellow or orange than white or blue-white, will attract fewer bugs.

Do you have an outdoor eating or spa area that will be used frequently? If so, you should consider using a combination of pest control along with lights best for not attracting insects. You can form a barrier with citronella coils or candles farther away from the area where people are the thickest.

Using either citronella coils or some other type of (preferably natural) insect deterrent to form a barrier is always a good technique for controlling insects where people tend to converge. This barrier technique allows insect control, while keeping the offensive insect repellant away from the areas that are thicker with people.

When choosing lighting for your outdoor areas, first select lights for any special areas, such as pool or patio areas. Then you should decide on general field area lights and pathway lighting. For general ambient lighting, you may choose to perch lights up in the trees. Choose lights that have a soft and wide light span for softer lighting.

One area that is frequently overlooked when it comes to outdoor lighting are pathways. For example, lighting should be placed every three to four feet along any pathway going to and from the house, garage and other outdoor spots, to ensure that people can see at night time.

Be creative and have fun.
