Between the gorgeous weather and fresh summer produce, now’s the perfect time to break out your grill and enjoy a backyard barbecue. And while the delicious smells of Herb-Grilled Chicken Frites or Grilled Steak with Chimichurri may draw in your family members, your yummy meal may also attract some unwanted critters.

To combat those pesky flies and mosquitoes from landing on your plate or in your drink, we found these five products meant to keep the bugs away. (P.S.- For extra bug-proofing, consider planting some of these mosquito- and bug-repelling plants in pots on your patio. We love these extra-large, 20" ones from Target, $25.)
To Keep Your Drinks Bug-Free
