Hey friends,
Can we all just take a minute to celebrate the fact that we made it through another Georgia winter? I don’t know about you, but my family is so ready to trade in homework folders for pool towels, cleats, and popsicles.
The buzz (and not the mosquito kind!) is real—swim team practices are starting, spring sports are in full swing, and school countdowns have officially begun. That magical time of year is here where our yards become the hangout spot—where neighbors wave over fences, kids dart through sprinklers, and the grill finally sees the light of day again.
Let’s talk about getting your yard ready for all of it.
As a mom of three and a backyard enthusiast, I know the drill:
Clean those gutters before the first big summer rain.
Trim back spring overgrowth—trust me, it gets jungle-like fast.
Pull out those yard toys and give them a good scrub. A great natural way to clean mold and mildew off outdoor gear? Try white vinegar and baking soda—it’s safe, effective, and doesn’t leave behind anything funky for little hands.
Now, here’s the big one—don’t wait to treat your yard for mosquitoes.
This is exactly when those little monsters start hatching, and once they’re here, it’s harder to keep them away. At GeoMosquito, we’re already helping families across the area protect their yards using our custom essential-oil blend that’s safe for kids, pets, pollinators, and the planet. No harsh chemicals, no regrets—just results you can feel the first time you step outside and don’t get eaten alive.
We’re proud to serve families in Peachtree Corners, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Marietta, East Cobb, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, and beyond.
So, what can you do outside in May?
If you’re looking for ideas to get moving as a family:
Dunwoody Nature Center is hosting outdoor family events and free play days.
Roswell’s Riverside Park is a great place for river watching or picnic-style soccer games.
Johns Creek has Summer Kickoff events with food trucks and live music—perfect for a Friday night out with kids.
Peachtree Corners Town Green has open lawn movies and concerts coming up.
Alpharetta’s Wills Park has splash pads, tennis, and walking trails that kids love to explore.
Let’s make this the summer we ditch the screens, lather on the sunscreen, and #LiveLifeOutside—together. From swing sets to swim meets, this is what memories are made of. And GeoMosquito is here to make sure mosquitoes don’t make the guest list.
Cheers to the season ahead, Erin
