🧺 10 Smart Tips for a Bug-Free Picnic with TickWise This July

Nothing beats a picnic in July—except maybe a picnic that doesn’t include bugs. Mosquitoes and ticks love picnics as much as we do, but they don’t have to be part of your plans.

This National Picnic Month, make sure TickWise is on your blanket, in your bag, and part of your outdoor tradition. Here are 10 easy ways to make your next outdoor meal even more enjoyable—with natural, plant-based protection.


✅ 1. Start with a Spray

Apply natural mosquito repellent to exposed skin, socks, and shoes before heading out. TickWise goes on light, smells fresh, and helps keep pests away.

✅ 2. Create a Bug-Free Blanket Zone

Spray the area around your picnic blanket with natural tick spray. It’s a simple way to enjoy the grass without worry.


✅ 3. Pick the Perfect Spot

Skip the shady corners and settle in a bright, open area with airflow. Mosquitoes and ticks prefer damp, dense locations—sunshine is your natural friend.


✅ 4. Cover Food Naturally

Keep plates and snacks protected with reusable covers or lids. It keeps your food fresh and keeps flying insects uninterested.


✅ 5. Dress for Outdoor Dining

Loose, breathable clothing in lighter colors can reduce bites. TickWise works great as a backup on fabric and exposed areas.


✅ 6. Reapply as You Play

If you're tossing a frisbee or chasing toddlers, it's a good time to reapply TickWise to maintain consistent protection throughout the picnic.


✅ 7. Spray the Extras Too

Coolers, tote bags, water bottles—all these can attract moisture-loving bugs. Mist them with TickWise as part of your prep.


✅ 8. Keep the Kids Covered

TickWise is safe for kids 2+, so you can lightly spray clothing, socks, or backpacks. Make bug protection part of their summer routine.


✅ 9. Don’t Forget the Dog

Bringing your pup along? Give their fur a light spritz with our natural tick repellent to help them stay comfortable while they explore.


✅ 10. Quick Check Before You Pack

Before heading home, do a visual check of shoes, bags, and clothing. Spray any gear that brushed against grass or bushes for peace of mind.
