Insect Repellent – Your Safety Screen in Spring

Warmer spring weather means mosquitoes and ticks will soon be abundant, and calls for the use of insect repellent. Repellent can be especially handy if you are outdoors for an extended amount of time, or if you are at an event (such as a picnic or barbecue) which has plenty of foods to entice wandering insects.

Unfortunately, not everyone knows the PROPER way to apply repellent, and that leaves them vulnerable to insect attack! Applying repellent is an easy way to prevent illness and discomfort down the road… after all, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!”

Here’s a handy video (courtesy of Pest World) with plenty of tips for how to properly apply insect repellent to protect against bites from these mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other insects which can transmit illnesses and diseases.

Of course, Insects can still pop up, even with the BEST repellent in use…

 

If you notice insects beginning to swarm your home (no pun intended) CONTACT US right away to put the pest to rest!
