Keeping Pests Away from Your Fire Pit Area

Keep the fire pit area clean and free from debris to discourage pests from nesting. Use natural repellents such as citronella candles or essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to deter insects. Regularly sweep and hose down the area to remove food crumbs and spills that can attract pests. Consider planting insect-repelling plants like marigolds, lavender, or mint around the fire pit to create a natural barrier. Avoid using chemical pesticides near the fire pit to prevent harmful fumes.
