Happy July from Cal King Pest Control!
As we gear up for 4th of July celebrations and summer BBQs, it's important to ensure your home and yard are free from pests. In this edition, we’ll share tips to keep your festivities fun and pest-free. Let's dive into how you can enjoy a worry-free summer!
Keep Your BBQ Area Bug-Free:
Outdoor BBQs are a summer staple, but they can attract unwanted guests. To keep your BBQ area pest-free, clean up food and drink spills promptly to avoid attracting ants, wasps, and other pests. Cover food with mesh covers or keep it indoors until serving to minimize exposure. Set up a bug-free zone using citronella candles, tiki torches, or bug zappers to create a perimeter that deters flying insects.
4th of July Fireworks and Pest Safety:
Fireworks and celebrations can sometimes disturb pests, causing them to seek refuge in your home. To keep them at bay, ensure all windows, doors, and potential entry points are sealed to prevent pests from sneaking in. Use yellow bug lights outdoors as they are less attractive to insects compared to regular lights. Keep trash cans sealed tightly and away from the house to prevent attracting pests with food scraps and packaging.
