Even though we’re in the midst of a global pandemic, our backyard is still a safe place for us to spend time with our families and friends. We’re all being encouraged to stay home as much as possible, and there’s nothing quite like having a place to cook out and let our children play! Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when we get a lot of unwanted visitors that want to join us while we’re enjoying our outdoor activities.
Summertime in The Natural State offers no shortage of great outdoor activities, and being outside is one of the safest places for all of us during the COVID-19 Pandemic. It’s also much more satisfying than simply staying indoors watching more TV. In fact, many people wish that we could be on the lake, or on the trails all the time. That might not quite be possible, but creating an inviting backyard to enjoy is the next best thing. At least until the mosquitoes show up!
The COVID-19 pandemic has made us all much more aware of how quickly and deeply that we can all be affected by the consequences of an airborne virus. We don’t have any clear answers about when the pandemic will be officially declared over, but we’re likely going to be taking a lot more regular health precautions long after the coast is clear on the infamous Coronavirus. And while we’re at it, we owe it to ourselves to learn about bed bugs and keep them from spreading.
During the summer months, one of the most unwelcome sights that you can encounter is a long trail of ants enjoying an all you can eat buffet of some food morsels that you neglected to clean up properly, or food improperly stored on your countertop. Once the first ant locates a food source, he gets word to his colony, and in a matter of minutes you can suddenly find yourself forced to deal with hundreds (sometimes thousands) of ants.
Did you know that termites cause more property damage annually than fires, floods, and other natural disasters combined? It’s true! They’re particularly fond of moist, unpainted wood, but the truth is that no home is ever completely safe from termites.Termite control requires a proactive approach involving trained professionals. That’s where our team at The Bug Man comes in!
