Situation: When summer returns, you'd love a porch light that doesn't attract 313 varieties of moths and mosquitoes.

The Light Fix: Yellow Compact Fluorescent Bulbs
Mosquitoes have a hard time seeing yellow light, so use these bulbs where you sit outside. But make sure there are also white lights 10 to 15 feet away — they'll act as a lure. If yellow light is the only light around, the bugs will find you — eventually.
To Buy: Philips Marathon Bug-A-Way, $7, Home Depot stores.
