There’s nothing quite like gathering friends and family under the stars for an outdoor movie night. But as the sun sets and the projector warms up, uninvited guests—mosquitoes—often crash the party. Don’t let buzzing pests ruin the fun! With a little planning and some expert help from Mosquito Sheriff, your next outdoor movie night can be magical and mosquito-free.
🏡 1. Choose the Right Location
Start by selecting a dry, well-maintained area in your yard. Avoid spots near standing water, overgrown grass, or dense shrubs—all of which are mosquito hotspots.
✅ Pro Tip: Set up your screen and seating area at least 20 feet away from any natural water source or garden pond.
🕯️ 2. Use Ambient Lighting Strategically
Mosquitoes are attracted to bright, white lights. Use yellow LED lights or citronella tiki torches instead, which are less appealing to bugs and create a cozy vibe.
🌿 3. Natural Mosquito-Repelling Decor
Decorate your space with mosquito-repelling plants like lavender, marigolds, citronella grass, and basil. They look great and add a subtle layer of natural protection.

🧴 4. Provide Guests with Repellent
Set up a repellent station with DEET-free sprays, essential oil blends, and even mosquito-repellent wipes. Include a fun sign that says “Bug Off!” to keep it lighthearted.
