Don't let pest ruin your party.

If you are planning an event or entertaining outdoors this summer, consider ways of keeping pests off your guest list. In New Jersey, insects like gnats are at the top of most people's lists of annoyances for picnics and playtime, but others, like mosquitoes and ticks, can also quickly ruin outdoor fun.  

Biting pests, such as gnats, mosquitoes, and ticks, feed on blood for survival and reproductive needs, making them the biggest offenders for outdoor fun. However, there is no need to suffer through this annoyance, and with some planning, a pest control company like Permakill Exterminating can control these pests for your event.

The last thing you want is for your guests to remember being attacked by mosquitoes at your party, and you also don't want to drench yourself in insect repellent or ask your guests to carry lit citronella candles. 

Our team can visit your backyard or event location in advance to apply sprays to knock down the insect population and leave a barrier that keeps your guests comfortable and protected throughout the day or evening. This application dries within 30 minutes and provides long-lasting protection. 

How About After the Party? 

It's essential to understand that the treatments applied to your yard may only provide temporary relief because the mosquitoes and gnats can fly, and barriers only last 3 to 5 days. 

It is easier to eliminate mosquitoes from your yard than prevent them from coming in. These miserable little pests that fly in from miles away can ruin your fun time with your friends and family. 

The best way to maintain a nuisance-free yard is to combine monthly applications and preventive techniques. Additionally, the most effective preventative approach typically involves combining multiple tactics. When working together, these measures for ongoing mosquito prevention in your yard ensure it is ready whenever needed.

 Consider the following long-term prevention measures for mosquitoes 

• Utilize citronella candles and torches, as the strong scent helps repel mosquitoes.
• Place mosquito dunks in standing water sources like bird baths or gutters. These dunks eliminate mosquito eggs and help reduce the population of bloodsuckers before your party.
• Remove sources of standing water around your home and clean out your gutters. 
• Strategically position insect-repelling plants around the property, such as lavender and rosemary.
• Set up overhead and oscillating fans on your patio or deck to maintain air movement, discouraging mosquito activity. Since mosquitoes are poor fliers they will move away from the fans. 
• Apply insect repellent to your skin to prevent mosquito bites.
• Plant natural repellents in your garden, such as basil, mint, and rosemary, as they can deter mosquitoes and other insects.
• Install a bat house in your yard to attract mosquito-devouring bats that can help control the mosquito population.

By implementing these measures, you can enjoy your backyard and plan events without while minimizing the risk of unwanted pests. For special events spraying call Permakill Exterminating in Morris County NJ if you want to be sure your outdoor event has the best chance of being pest free.
