Summer is all about pool parties, cookouts and enjoying long evenings outside, but it’s also prime time for pesky insects coming out in full force. A few mosquito bites, an army of ants or a swarm of flies can easily ruin a good picnic or barbecue. But not all places are plagued by bugs and a new report reveals where you’re most likely to encounter these annoying creatures.
