There are many mixed messages when it comes to fire pits and mosquitoes, Perhaps this is due to confusion surrounding fuel types and anecdotal experiences. For instance, I tend to notice mosquitoes more when I’m outside for a long time and, of course, enjoy it with friends and family. While the fire itself doesn’t inherently attract mosquitoes, propane gas is said to. The setup and materials of a fire pit likewise can attract an array of bugs- yet another reason to keep your fire pit both kept up and away from your home’s foundation.
