Tailgates, Fire Pits, and Mosquitoes: Fall’s Biggest Party Crashers

Fall Vibes, Football… and Mosquitoes?

When fall rolls around, we think of cozy sweatshirts, crisp air, tailgate parties, s’mores by the fire, and backyard hangouts. But just when you thought the worst of mosquito season was behind you—they’re back.

Yes, mosquitoes in fall are a real problem. And if you’ve ever had a swarm crash your evening by the fire or buzz around your favorite tailgate snacks, you know how fast a fun night can turn into an itchy nightmare.

Let’s break down why mosquitoes still thrive in autumn—and how Mosquito Sheriff can help protect your outdoor fall festivities.


🦟 Why Are Mosquitoes Still Around in the Fall?

Most people think mosquitoes disappear after summer, but in many areas, they’re active well into late October or even November.

Here’s why:

🌡️ Warm Temperatures Stick Around

Mosquitoes remain active until temperatures drop consistently below 50°F (10°C). In much of the U.S., that means they’re partying right alongside you well into fall.

💦 Lingering Moisture

Fall often brings rain and early morning dew—creating standing water in gutters, buckets, planters, and firewood covers. Perfect mosquito breeding grounds.

🔥 Body Heat + Fire Pits = Mosquito Magnet

Mosquitoes are drawn to heat and carbon dioxide. So your warm fire pit and the crowd around it? That’s like a five-star restaurant to them.

🏈 Tailgates Mean Food, Sweat, and Open Coolers

Tailgate parties are full of scents and body heat, especially if you’re active, grilling, or enjoying a few drinks. Mosquitoes pick up on that with ease.


😣 The Problem with Fall Mosquito Bites

Beyond the annoyance, mosquito bites can still pose serious health risks in the fall, including:

  • West Nile Virus

  • Zika (in some regions)

  • Dengue Fever

  • Heartworm in pets

According to the CDC, mosquito-borne diseases are still a concern in many states during fall, particularly where mosquito season is extended by warm weather.

🏈 Tips for Hosting a Mosquito-Free Fall Party

While Mosquito Sheriff has your back, here are a few extra tips to help keep your fall gatherings mosquito-free:

  • Dump standing water in buckets, planters, or grill covers after rain.

  • Use citronella candles or torches around seating areas.

  • Keep your cooler lids closed—mosquitoes are drawn to condensation and cold surfaces.

  • Wear light, long-sleeved layers—especially during dusk.

  • Set up a fan—mosquitoes are weak flyers and avoid breezy areas.
