Late August is a unique time for the yard. Gardens are winding down, lawns are still growing, and families are making the most of backyard spaces before fall arrives. But these same spaces are hotspots for ticks and mosquitoes.
If you’re spending hours pulling weeds, trimming bushes, or hosting one more barbecue, here’s how to keep your space bug-safe using natural tick repellent and smart outdoor habits.
✅ 1. Spray Before Yard Work
Whether mowing, weeding, or mulching, always apply TickWise natural tick spray to exposed skin and socks before stepping outside.
✅ 2. Mist Your Gardening Gloves and Tools
Ticks and mosquitoes can cling to fabric and wooden handles. Give gloves, trowels, and tools a light spray of natural mosquito repellent before working.
✅ 3. Keep Lawn Edges Trimmed
Tall grass and overgrown edges are tick-friendly zones. Regularly mow and trim, then spray your shoes and socks before stepping near brush.
✅ 4. Protect Outdoor Seating Areas
Spray around patio furniture, hammocks, or picnic tables with natural tick repellent before family gatherings.
✅ 5. Reapply During Sweaty Yard Work
Late August heat means sweat, which can wear protection down. Reapply natural mosquito spray repellent every hour if you’re working hard outdoors.
✅ 6. Cover Mulch Beds and Leaf Piles
Ticks hide in damp, shady places. Keep mulch beds tidy and leaves cleared. Before working near these areas, mist yourself with natural tick spray.
✅ 7. Spray Yard Games and Toys
If kids’ toys, swing sets, or games are set up in the yard, spray them down before playtime.
✅ 8. Protect Pets in the Backyard
Before letting dogs roam the grass or garden, apply dog-safe TickWise natural tick repellent to their fur (avoiding eyes/nose).
✅ 9. Mist Outdoor Décor and Cushions
Cushions, umbrellas, and outdoor rugs are prime bug spots. Spray them before guests arrive for a more comfortable setup.
✅ 10. Keep a Bottle by the Back Door
Make bug protection part of every backyard routine by keeping TickWise within arm’s reach before heading outside.
