How To Keep Unwanted Pests Out Of Your Tailgate Party

Since fall is upon us, it can only mean one thing: Its time for football! Once football season hits

, you have the luxury of spending every Sunday afternoon watching the game with friends and family indoors, or you can even go so far as to tailgate in the parking lot before attending a local college or professional game.

Before the weather gets chilly outside, tailgating is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the fall season with friends and family by enjoying snacks and barbecue in the great outdoors. But as you may already be familiar with, Mother Nature brings insects with her, like mosquitoes, flies, and ants that could crash your party.

Believe it or not, its possible to throw a tailgate party that is entirely pest-free when you use the following tips:

Wear pretreated clothing. If youre serious about keeping bugs away at a tailgate party, you can take the precaution of wearing clothing that is pretreated with Buzz Off to naturally repel mosquitoes. Instead of coating yourself from head to toe with bug spray, insect resistant outdoor wear will remain comfortable and lightweight, while naturally keeping bugs like mosquitoes, ants, and flies away.

Keep sweet foods in sealed containers. If youre worried about pesky pests like stinging wasps and yellow jackets, it helps to remember that they are naturally attracted to sweet treats. At a tailgate party, its best to keep any sugary desserts in sealed or wrapped containers and make sure that sweet drinks are served in covered pitchers.

Seal up garbage. Instead of throwing garbage into an open bag, take an extra step to place food wrappers, cans, napkins, and plates into a sealed garbage container. This will naturally keep flies away and will also make it easier to clean up after an event. If possible, try to throw out the trash into a larger dumpster throughout the day to keep flies from gathering.

Cover food after grilling. Ants are pesky little critters that can often infest in party food and return home with you without your knowing. If you want to avoid ant bites and a full-blown ant infestation at your next tailgate party, make sure to cover freshly grilled food immediately to avoid attracting these determined insects.

Last but not least, it always helps to keep bug spray on hand to apply regularly so that guests can remain comfortable and free from potential mosquito attacks. Depending upon where you live, mosquitoes may be active well into the fall season or even year-round in warmer weather, according to Birmingham mosquito control experts. Applying mosquito repellent will prevent unpleasant itchy bites and can even reduce the risk of West Nile virus.

Having the right gear and supplies set up in advance will help to keep unwanted guests out of your tailgate party. It also helps to lay down a tarp underneath your tailgate tent to give party-goers a comfortable place to rest their feet or place their drinks, while naturally keeping bugs away from the food and drink.
