Welcome to June. June means that summer is here and so are mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are a bane of summer that you just have to deal with. Don’t forget that mosquitoes carry the West Nile and Zika viruses. It hasn’t been in the news yet, but these mosquito-borne illnesses are still out there. However, when it comes to mosquitoes this summer, you can do it in style.

And every outdoor enthusiast needs light at some point. Sitting around in the dark all evening in camp is not fun, trying to find that killer lure that fell on the deck of the boat and bounced out of sight during a late-night walleye troll is never a good thing — needing a good way to make light is just part of enjoying the outdoors.

Now, imagine a rugged, dependable and inexpensive light you can carry on your outdoor adventures that would also kill mosquitoes … what would you think of that? Well, a light like this exists. It is called the Z Bug, by NEBO.

If you are a regular reader of this column, you know that I am a fan of NEBO lights. I have field-tested several models over the years and they can survive my trips afield. That’s not an easy task for any piece of equipment.
