Outdoor Pest Control<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things to think about when it comes to planning a large-scale picnic is guest comfort. For example, be sure to consider an insect-proofing strategy to protect both guests and food. This may include mosquito net tents, food covers, citronella candles and repellent devices, bug spray, and more. Create a large enough perimeter around the estimated picnic area with these devices to prevent pest interference. A trick to prevent yellow jackets from hovering over your meat entrees, hand a few strips far from the picnic area and out of reach of pets and children. This will distract them, keeping them away from the food and guests.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate Control<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Another aspect of guest comfort is climate. If it is predicted to be a sunny or hot day, it is wise to use tents, umbrellas, and blankets to protect from sunburn and overheating. Grass can get hot, hence the blankets, and umbrellas are perfect for shade-on-the-spot. Tents can protect food from spoiling in the sun. With this comes another quick picnic planning tip: never allow condiments and dairy-based foods to sit in hot sun, as this can cause food-borne illnesses and digestive discomfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Budgeting<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning on a corporate budget, stick to chicken,\nbeef, and pulled pork, and skip the hamburgers and hot dogs. After you add-up\nall the costs of condiments and ingredients needed to serve them, you will find\nthat it is actually cheaper, contrary to popular belief. Accordingly, it is\nimportant to know who you are feeding. A group of hardened loggers might love a\nlunch of hearty meats and potatoes, while a company of mostly women might\nprefer a lighter lunch cuisine. In another example, a company that focuses on\nnutrition and healthy lifestyles probably wouldn\u2019t want to eat a cuisine of\nheavy fried foods and sugar-filled desserts. So be sure to choose a menu that\nmakes sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
