Eliminating Unwanted Guests From Your Camp Site
The worst parts of camping are the bugs. They are called pests for a reason. It doesn’t matter if it’s first thing in the morning and your eating breakfast they are all up in your stuff. Bugs are the uninvited guests to a camping trip.
A good way to deter the unwanted guests is by setting up a screen tent. A Eureka screen tent makes a great security guard. It keeps your food safe and helps illuminate the chance of getting eaten alive as if you were the buffet. For any camping trip it’s a really great investment. It will make your camping trip more enjoyable.
Escaping Insect Bites
Last summer my family and I went camping on the banks of the Columbia River and it was a disaster. Ok, that may be a little drastic. We did spend four days on the water, the weather was gorgeous and we had some quality family bonding. The trouble came from the nasty insects—mainly mosquitoes—which were rampant at night.
Every morning we all awoke to a host of new mosquito bites, and by the time we left, our truck had several emptied bottles of calamine lotion. This year we’re returning to the same campground, but I’m going to be prepared this time around. I’ve purchased a Eureka screen tent, offering us a safe haven from the perils of the riverside insects.
Don’t Leave Home Without It…
As any hiking enthusiast knows, there are certain essential items that should always be taken on a camping trip. And it goes beyond the obvious. Beyond the tent, mat, and sleeping bag, you’re going to want to be equipped with a quality screen house to protect against mosquitoes.
A screen house has several benefits that can keep you safe and comfortable. First, it can reduce the chance of malaria, West Nile Virus, and other mosquito-born illnesses. While the chance of contracting these illnesses is admittedly slim, there is no harm in being as safe as possible.
The other added benefit is quite pragmatic: mosquitoes are annoying. They bite and leave persistent, itching reminders of their presence. Screen houses can protect you from this annoyance.
Depending on where you like to camp, mosquitoes can be more or less persistent. If you know that your area of the country is infested with these flying annoyances, screen houses can be a cheap way to make your next camping trip as convenient and comfortable as possible.
