Pest Control, a Pertinent Precaution for Fall Events

Posted by Mosquito Squad

September 27, 2024

Pest control in Belleville IL should not end with the arrival of the fall equinox. Get a pest spray for your autumn outdoor event.

Autumn, like springtime, is a season of notable change. Even though the weather is cooler, pest activity peaks once more this time of year. During fall, some pests, like ticks and spiders are mating, which brings about much activity. Additionally, pests that have been out in nature during the spring and summer, are now heading toward our homes and businesses, where they hope to overwinter. Whether your outdoor event is a fall festival, craft fair, outdoor wedding, or a gathering of family and friends around your backyard firepit, pest control should be taken into consideration to deter pests from your guests.

Tips for Protecting Yourself From Pests During Outdoor Events

If the autumn weather is warm enough for mosquito activity, you might consider choosing to wear colors that repel mosquitoes. You can additionally forgo sweet-smelling soaps, shampoos, and perfumes before attending your event. If you are trying to avoid other pests, such as ticks, it is important to wear long pants, closed-toed shoes, and socks. Corn mazes and pumpkin fields could harbor hungry autumn ticks! If you are camping or hiking among nature, keep as much of your skin covered as possible, and perform thorough tick checks on yourself, your family, and your pet.

PRO TIP: If you are returning from a day outdoors, where ticks could be lurking, put your clothing in the dryer on high for 10 minutes.
