Fall Weddings Are Better Without Uninvited Pests

You’ve picked the perfect date. The leaves are golden, the air is crisp, and your outdoor venue is a picture-perfect Pinterest board.
Autumn weddings in the St. Louis Metro East area can be truly magical. That is, unless your guests begin swatting, scratching, and running for cover. That’s right! Even autumn pests, like mosquitoes, gnats, and yellow jackets can make your dream wedding venue the scene of a pest-hater’s nightmare.
Cooler Weather Does Not Equate to Bug-Free
It’s natural to think that the change in season will naturally rid your wedding venue of unwanted (and uninvited) outdoor pests. Sadly, they simply don’t get the memo. Mosquitoes, spiders, and other outdoor pests can remain active well into the fall, especially when daytime highs reach the 60’s and 70’s. Add a dose of humidity and a venue surrounded by trees or water – or both – and you’ve got yourself a recipe for pest wedding crashers.
And don’t forget about ticks. Though less noticeable any time of year, they are very busy during the fall season. Cooler and damp conditions suit them just fine – and you certainly don’t want them clinging to your guests’ fancy wedding attire or ruining an outdoor photo op.
