Backyard Date Night

This post is written in partnership with Fox Pest Control. As always, all opinions are my own. 

If you’re anything like me, you spent the last year looking around at your house and realizing how many things needed some extra attention. We checked quite a few things off of our to-do list like finally getting around to some landscaping and painting the shutters on our shed. 

Quarantine turned our usual date nights out into backyard date nights, and even though the world is opening back up, we have a fun little routine of hanging out by the fire pit with a cocktail or two — and now, a new puppy! 

Besides a rainy night, the only thing that can ruin a backyard date night is coming inside with a bunch of mosquito bites — or worse, an encounter with a bee — so I was really excited to learn about Fox Pest Control. 

Scheduling was super quick and easy and our Pest Pro, Dylan, was really helpful. Fox Pest Control’s branches are locally operated and Dylan services our neighborhood regularly so he was familiar with the types of pests to keep an eye out for. We’ve only had issues with spiders and bees, but they treat all kinds of pests — ants, termites, mosquitoes, roaches, flies, and even rodents! Plus, Dylan heard our new puppy barking and reassured me that the treatment was pet-safe. 

He did warn us that we might see an uptick in spiders or other pests in the days following the service, but luckily that wasn’t the case. He also mentioned that if we see any issues with the pests they treat, we can give them a call and they’ll come out and treat them — for free! 

I’m so thankful for the peace of mind we have knowing that our home is protected from pests. If you’re local to the Connecticut area, check out Fox Pest Control or give them a call at (203) 633-4490.
