Today, June 19th, we observe Juneteenth—a vital day in American history that commemorates the end of slavery and celebrates freedom, resilience, and community. Here in Southern Nevada, it is a day for reflection, education, and coming together with friends and family to honor this important milestone.
At Anderson Pest Control, we are proud to be part of such a diverse and strong community. As a local business, we know that the best parts of our community are the bonds we share and the time we spend together.
Protecting Your Juneteenth Celebrations
Juneteenth is traditionally celebrated with outdoor cookouts, neighborhood block parties, and family gatherings in the yard. However, as the desert heat sets in, those same outdoor spaces become highly attractive to local pests looking for food, water, and shade.
While you focus on family, friends, and food, the last thing you want is uninvited guests like ants, flies, wasps, or scorpions crashing your barbecue.
Here are a few quick tips to keep your outdoor celebrations comfortable and pest-free:
Keep Food Covered: Use mesh food tents over your serving tables to keep flies and yellow jackets away from your smoked meats and side dishes.
Manage the Trash: Ensure all outdoor garbage bins have tight-fitting lids and are kept away from the main gathering areas to avoid drawing in foraging pests.
Clear the Clutter: Pests like bark scorpions love to hide under debris, stacked wood, or old boxes. Keep your yard clear to reduce potential hiding spots before guests arrive.
Eliminate Standing Water: Even small amounts of water from a garden hose or cooler runoff can attract thirsty desert pests and mosquitoes.
