Why are there so many spiders in my backyard?
Long webs strung from trees and bushes, from one to another, are the trails left by spider(s) traveling from tree to tree or tree to bush, etc. Since they can't fly, they spin out long threads, hanging from the trail end, waiting for a breeze to take them to a new location. Occasionally, you can see a whole bunch of them at once, crisscrossing every which way. That would be when a nest of spider eggs has hatched and the little spiders are seeking a place to set up 'home'.

Can you use mouthwash as a bug repellent?
Most insects are primarily attracted by heat, such as that produced by the human body or a light bulb, and are attracted by scent only secondarily. There are a few insects and bugs that are primarily attracted to scents, but the scent is used to find a mate or food, neither of which resembles any odor given off by humans. Most mouthwashes contain alcohol, so, even though the scent of the mouthwash would not be a deterrent, the slight amount of cooling that the alcohol would give might deter one or two insects, but only until the alcohol wears off, which is fairly quickly; in other words, you'd have to douse yourself with alcohol for a long period of time to be of any use against insects, and, by then, you'd be soaking wet, and probably in pain from the alcohol's burning sensation touching your eyes, lips, etc. You'd be much better off just staying inside.

I'm from Canada, and if it looks like a bee, but thinner (more like a wasp and dark) we call them "mud wasps." These little suckers can really sting and their sting has the same effect as a fire ant. They usually borrow into mud or wet sand and can float and swim across the water. If you go to your drug store ask the pharmacist for a good ointment to use. It will work and when my husband and I go camping or out in the boat we always take a tube.
