Summer Travel Beach Avoiding Bugs and Ticks

✈️ Top 10 Ways to Protect Yourself from Bugs While Traveling in Late Summer

August is one of the busiest travel months of the year—and for good reason. With school around the corner and temperatures still high, late summer offers the perfect window for road trips, hiking getaways, camping weekends, and last-minute vacations.

But whether you’re exploring a National Park, glamping with the family, or backpacking across states, one thing is clear: bugs don’t care if you’re on vacation. Ticks and mosquitoes are still active in late summer, especially in humid and wooded regions.

That’s why it’s smart to pack a natural tick repellent and build smart bug safety into your travel routine.


✅ 1. Pack a Travel-Sized Natural Repellent

Start with the essentials. A TSA-friendly bottle of TickWise natural mosquito spray repellent fits easily into carry-ons, daypacks, or glove compartments—so it’s always on hand when you need it.

✅ 2. Spray Before Scenic Stops

Whether it’s a trailhead, overlook, or campground, apply your natural tick spray before stepping out. Ticks and mosquitoes love wooded parking areas and shady roadside picnic spots.


✅ 3. Mist Your Luggage and Gear

Ticks can hitch a ride on soft surfaces. Spray your backpack, duffel bag, or sleeping bag before heading into nature-heavy destinations.


✅ 4. Reapply During Outdoor Adventures

If you’re sweating, swimming, or spending hours outside, reapply your natural mosquito repellent every 1–2 hours for consistent coverage.


✅ 5. Choose Your Lodging Wisely

Staying in cabins or rustic lodges? Keep TickWise handy for spraying near doorways, windows, or patio areas to create a more comfortable perimeter.


✅ 6. Avoid Scented Products

Bugs are drawn to floral or fruity fragrances. Swap scented lotions or perfumes for unscented versions—and let the fresh aroma of TickWise’s essential oils do the work.


✅ 7. Use TickWise at Sunrise and Sunset

Dawn and dusk are peak mosquito times. Even if you’re enjoying a patio breakfast or beach sunset, these quiet moments can be buzzing with activity—spray up first.


✅ 8. Don’t Forget the Car

You’ll be in and out of the car all day. Give the interior and doors a light mist with natural tick repellent, especially if you’ve been hiking or camping.


✅ 9. Spray Hammocks, Camping Chairs, and Picnic Blankets

Anything that touches the ground is a bug access point. Mist before sitting and after packing up.


✅ 10. Keep a Bottle at Every Stop

If you’re traveling through multiple locations, place a bottle of TickWise in each place you unpack—a cabin bathroom, tent vestibule, beach tote, or travel locker. One less thing to forget, and one more layer of peace of mind.
