Thorough planning is one of the most effective ways to avoid problems on your wedding day. For an outdoor wedding, you may know that weather and pests can cause potential issues. Fortunately, you can analyze outdoor wedding venues and ask questions until you find a place that will provide you with a pest-free wedding.

Pest Control

An excellent way to deal with pests is to keep them from becoming a problem through preventive measures. A wedding venue must invest in routine pest control service that involves applying pesticides throughout the premises to make this work. This method does incredibly well against ground-based pests because pesticides can stick to surfaces for a long time.

Learning as much as you can about the pest control methods that each venue takes will help you narrow down your options. In most cases, a venue that gets help every month will have fewer pest problems than a place that only gets pest control every other month.

Another tip is to find out the exact date of the pest control service. You can reserve a day shortly after the service date when the pesticide is most effective with this information.

Tents

The ceremony is a memorable part of every wedding, but it also takes up less time than the reception. So, you may not worry too much about pests being a problem during this short and lovely experience. Most of the eating, dancing, and socializing happens at the reception, making it the perfect place to set up a tent to protect everything and everyone inside.

Tents work well to deter pests because they cannot enter the reception area without going through the entry points at both ends. These limited entry points also make it easier to add defensive measures such as powerful fans that prevent flying insects from getting inside.

Decorations

A great strategy is to incorporate pest protection as part of your wedding decorations. For instance, you can use plants and flowers known to deter the most common pests in the area.

Citronella candles are not an all-in-one solution to prevent mosquitoes, but they will protect your guests when you use them at every reception table. In addition, setting these candles up around the tent entrance points will create an even more impactful layer of defense.

Choosing a wedding venue after finding one with these qualities is your best bet to enjoy a pest-free wedding.
