There are several ways that you can keep <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pestworld.org\/news-hub\/pest-articles\/5-tips-to-enjoy-a-pest-free-backyard-bbq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insect pests<\/a> at bay, so you can have a fun and enjoyable time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Food and Drinks Covered Up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ants, wasps, flies and other bugs are attracted to the scent of foods and drinks, especially if they\u2019re sweet. Store food in tightly sealed containers, put leftovers away and place covers on open cans. Don\u2019t forget to clean up crumbs and other messes right away to prevent an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/ants\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ant problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Rid of Standing Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Standing water provides places for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/biting-insects\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mosquitoes<\/a> to lay their eggs. Getting rid of these sources of water helps reduce mosquito populations. Just to be safe, apply a bug repellent in the evening, so you won\u2019t end up with itchy welts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fix Screens<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ll have guests coming in and out of your house during your picnic, make sure your screen doors don\u2019t have any holes or tears. They can let bugs in, which could end up causing you to seek help from NJ pest control services before summer is over. Patch them up before your picnic, and you won\u2019t have to worry about outdoor pests becoming indoor ones.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re having backyard trouble with wasps, ants or flies, our NJ pest control services can help.
