Whether it’s a wedding, garden party, or backyard bash—don’t let mosquitoes be the uninvited guests.
Spring and summer bring sunshine, celebration, and a calendar full of outdoor events—especially weddings. From dreamy sunset ceremonies to lively receptions on the lawn, outdoor venues create unforgettable moments. But nothing kills the mood faster than a swarm of mosquitoes.
At Torpedo Mosquito + Gnat, we know how to help you enjoy your big day without the bites. Here are 3 effective ways to help prevent mosquitoes from crashing your event:
1. Treat the Venue Before the Event
The best offense is a good defense. A professional mosquito treatment 24–48 hours before your event can drastically reduce mosquito activity in the area. Our barrier treatments target resting places like shrubs and shaded areas to knock down existing mosquitoes and repel new ones.
💡 Pro Tip: Even if the event is short, mosquitoes don’t take breaks. Schedule treatments early to give your guests the best experience possible. We recommend scheduling two treatments - one 14 days prior to your event and one 24-48 hours prior.
2. Remove Standing Water
Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water—and it doesn’t take much. Buckets, birdbaths, flowerpot saucers, or even a forgotten cup can become breeding grounds. In the days leading up to your event, do a sweep of the property and empty or refresh anything holding stagnant water.
✔️ Tip for venues: Check around tents, drainage areas, and decorative fountains.
3. Use Mosquito-Repelling Decor
Yes, you can fight mosquitoes and stay on theme! Add citronella candles, tiki torches, or essential oil diffusers (lemongrass, eucalyptus, lavender) to your decor. These can offer mild, localized repellent effects and blend in with your aesthetic.
🕯️ Plus, they smell great and add ambience!
Bonus: Go All-In With an Automated Mosquito System
For regular event venues or backyard wedding hosts, consider installing an automated mosquito misting system. It’s a long-term solution that protects your outdoor space all season long—and we’re currently offering $500 off systems for a limited time.
Let’s Keep It Beautiful (and Bite-Free)
From first dances to sparkler send-offs, you should be focused on celebrating—not swatting. If you’re planning or hosting an outdoor event we’re here to help keep mosquitoes off the guest list.
