As major portions of the country bake under extreme heat warnings, a new weather buzzword is dominating headlines: the heat dome. But what exactly is a heat dome—and how can Everguard Repellents play a role in limiting pests and controlling landscape damage?

A heat dome forms when a massive area of high pressure parks itself over a region and traps heat below like a lid on a pot. This dome redirects weather systems around it, meaning clouds and storms are less likely to develop. The result? Temperatures soar, humidity stagnates, and both people and animals get desperate to adapt.

This kind of extreme weather affects not just our comfort—it affects pest ecosystems in ways your customers definitely notice.

Wildlife like deer and rabbits move toward irrigated gardens and lush yards because their typical forest food sources are dried out.

Ticks and mosquitoes survive by staying in shaded, moist areas—like under decks, shaded gardens, and wherever sprinklers are running.

Dry conditions don’t reduce pests—they just relocate them.

And that’s where Everguard can help.

Our products are built to perform under extreme conditions like this. Everguard® Tick & Mosquito and Deer & Rabbit Repellents are formulated to stay effective through intense heat and sun exposure. They’re also safe for kids, pets, and pollinators, making them ideal for use around families, gardens, and outdoor living spaces.

Whether you’re a homeowner looking to protect your yard or a retailer helping customers find reliable solutions, now is the time to act. Demand for yard protection rises during heat events, especially when outdoor gatherings, garden growth, and pest activity all peak at once.

For homeowners, we recommend:

• Applying both products as part of a full-yard barrier strategy
• Reapplying after storms or heavy irrigation
• Using repellents consistently throughout the hot season to prevent new damage and bites

For retailers and distributors, this is a critical time to:

• Promote bundle deals featuring both repellent types
• Refresh signage to highlight terms like “heat-tested,” “event-ready,” and “kid-safe”
• Keep products stocked near high-traffic areas like lawn care and seasonal sections

The weather may be unpredictable, but your yard (or your store shelves) don’t have to be. With Everguard, you’ve got a solution that adapts to the season—and keeps pests in their place.
