Indiana City Makes Orkin’s List of Cities with the Most Mosquitoes
It's mosquito season, and Orkin just released its annual list of the cities with the most mosquitoes. As it turns out, only one city in Indiana made the list. Any guesses?. I don't know about you, but I always have a BAD mosquito problem in my yard. I can't even walk outside for two minutes without having to swat those pests away. It's a nuisance that nobody wants to deal with. Maybe you have tried citronella candles while sitting on your patio. That helps for sure. Perhaps you have lemongrass or peppermint plants in your yard to help keep the mosquitoes away. Somehow it seems that they are all only so effective. The sad thing is that I live in Boonville, Indiana, and while we have a lot of mosquitoes in our area, there's one Indiana city that I am grateful that I don't live in one Indiana city in particular, because they have a much worse mosquito problem.

Track Indiana Local Crime with This Hidden App Feature
Crime is something we all tend to monitor heavily, regardless of our daily intake of news. Now that I'm a married homeowner, I too tend to monitor crime in my area much more closely than I did previously. If there is a break-in around my neighborhood, I certainly want to know about it, so I can avoid any future conversations with my insurance company. Additionally, when it comes to higher-level crimes such as assault, I also want to stay in the know to better protect those living in my house. Recently, I found a pretty cool tool to do just that.
