Summer is around the corner! While we often get caught up thinking about the fun we can have during the summer months, when it actually arrives, we’re reminded that creepy crawlies will also come with the warmer temps.  Eplore outdoors safely!

Explore the outdoors safely with Orkin

One of my favorite ways to hang out with the kids is by exploring the outdoors, and learning about the things we find. For example, we found this wicked awesome looking caterpillar last summer. I snapped a photo, shared it on Facebook and soon found out it’s actually poisonous and we should avoid touching it if we wanted to avoid some pain. I didn’t even know there were poisonous caterpillars!

While bugs of all kinds can be dangerous, I think the worst is the mosquito! With its blood-sucking tendency and itchy aftermath, summer can be a real downer if you find yourself itching 24/7 due to bug bites. Fortunately, Orkin wants you to enjoy your summer months with the kids, so they’ve put together the Buzzer Beater app I think you’ll love.

Take the quiz to see if you’re prepared for mosquito season and earn your badge, or find out if your city made it to Orkin’s list of cities with high mosquito activity. You can also watch the videos in the app to learn more fun science surrounding mosquitos!

Is your city on the list?! Don’t despair. Just call the Orkin Man® to help you prepare and protect your home from pesky pests this summer. Orkin uses the latest technology to develop effective treatments that are right for your home and area. Orkin wants you to explore outdoors with your kids, without worrying about the bugs.
