Thereโs nothing like a summer picnicโsunshine, good food, a blanket in the grass, and a gentle breeze. But nothing ruins a peaceful lunch in the park faster than buzzing mosquitoes or ticks crawling under your blanket.
Luckily, celebrating National Picnic Month doesnโt have to come with itchy consequences. With a few smart choices and the help of a natural tick repellent like TickWise, you can keep the bugs awayโnaturally.
Here are 10 nature-safe ways to protect your picnic this July:
โ 1. Spray Before You Lay the Blanket
Start your picnic off right with a full-body spritz of natural mosquito repellent like TickWise. Spray your skin, ankles, legs, and armsโand donโt forget your socks and shoes.
๐ Stay Picnic-Ready with TickWise
โ 2. Mist the Edges of Your Blanket
Give your picnic zone an invisible barrier. Spray natural tick spray around the edges of your blanket or mat, especially if youโre on grass, dirt, or mulch.
โ 3. Choose Your Spot Carefully
Stay away from dense bushes, tree lines, and standing waterโall of which attract bugs. Instead, opt for open areas with a gentle breeze and full sun (bugs hate both).
โ 4. Keep Your Food Covered
Mosquitoes and other insects love sugary drinks and exposed snacks. Use mesh covers, sealed containers, or beeswax wraps to protect your spread naturally.
โ 5. Dress Smart
Lightweight long sleeves and pants can help keep bugs off your skin. Stick to lighter colors (they attract fewer insects) and tuck pants into socks if youโre near tall grass.
โ 6. Reapply TickWise After a Game of Frisbee
Getting sweaty or playing lawn games nearby? Reapply your natural mosquito spray repellent after movement or long exposure. Reapply every hour for full coverage.
โ 7. Spray Your Cooler and Bag
Ticks can latch onto gear, and mosquitoes love cooler condensation. Mist your cooler and tote bag with natural tick repellent before setting up.
โ 8. Bring a Bug-Free Kid Zone
If kids are picnicking too, make a safe play zone with TickWise. Spray lightly on picnic blankets, toys, and hats (avoid hands and eyes) to help keep them bug-free during playtime.
โ 9. Keep Pets Protected
Your dog might be chasing squirrels while you snackโbut theyโre also walking through grass and brush. Use TickWise natural tick spray, which is dog-friendly, before the picnic.
โ 10. Leave No TraceโIncluding Bugs
Once the fun winds down, do a quick gear check before packing up. Ticks can hitch a ride home on shoes, blankets, or backpacks, so give everything a final mist and inspection.
