Solutions would like to offer a few tips to help you keep your fall events pest free.
To Reduce Mosquitoes
The key to reducing the number of mosquitoes in your backyard is to eliminate any sources of water, so prior to your outdoor event, homeowners should inspect their yards and remember to:
Eliminate ALL areas of standing water including buckets, old tires and unused flower pots
Replace or empty water in bird baths and wading pools
Turn over canoes, kayaks and wheel barrows
Clear gutters of any debris
Make sure drainage ditches are clean and free flowing
Avoid Painful Stings
Yellow jackets, wasps and a variety of other stinging insects are the most dangerous and aggressive insects to drop by any backyard event. Not only can they terrify the bravest of men, they can pack a painful, potentially dangerous sting. To avoid attracting stinging insects to your barbeque, please:
Inspect your yard for any “bee’s” nests prior to your event
Keep food indoors until it is ready to be served and clean up immediately after eating
Keep garbage cans covered and at least 20 feet away from the festivities
Avoid sweet smelling shampoos, hairsprays or other personal care products
Avoid wearing brightly colored, floral printed clothing
