Answer 1

You know, nature is made up of bugs. You can't rid your yard of all bugs. Besides, many bugs are beneficial to the ecosystem.  What kind of bug is bothering so bad? Is it one particular kind and does it bite you or chew on your plants? Exactly what is the problem the bugs are creating? You could spray them with a bug killer or use repellants, Citronella candles or plant things that bugs don't like.
