Propane skeeter lure and traps will help clear a local zone. Buy as many as you can afford, they're making enough mosquitoes to fill whatever you have.

Maybe some flyers to ask the neighbors to check for standing water in toys, yard ornaments, garbage cans, etc. ?
No standing water = no mosquitoes Get a bug zapper for the yard, it'll get some of them. |

Dropping a little vegetable or olive oil in her the water will prevent the larve from getting out as adults.
You can use light motor oil (new) as oil will float above the water. |

They attract the pregnant female mosquito; which is the ones that bite you, and kill them. Exponential mosquito extermination. |

Cutter yard spray. It's the kind you put on the hose,one bottle will do a basic sized yard. You might have to apply more often as rainy as it's been though. Hit all the shrubbery good and cover the whole lawn evenly and you'll be skeeter free.

Set up bat boxes and if I'm not mistaken, barn swallows take care of them too.
ETA: Last night at fireworks the mosquitoes were thick, and the bats were VERY busy overhead. It was cool to watch them at work, and I didn't get one bug bite all night. Usually I am like a magnet for them.. |

get one of the propane units or get one of the electric bug units, both should do the same thing and the sound of them dying off by the hundreds every night should be nice

Nothing works, the fogger will work for a few days, I've had two mosquito magnets and managed to waste a few hundred more on propane for shitty results
I have two bug zappers, citronella torches and I buy off by the 6 pack...good luck in your futile efforts

bats or a fuckton of orb weaver spiders. spiders are cleaner.
you know what would be legit? a mosquito goalkeeper ciws, but instead of a Vulcan cannon it uses a burning laser. zap those little hellspawn in flight. maybe get four of them to traverse 90 degrees, set up a kill square. that would be epic. |

I don't want to spray myself with DEET or even any organic natural shit. I want to dust off and nuke from orbit. Too bad. Avon makes an excellent non-DEET repellant that is very pleasant to use. It's based on their Skin-So-Soft line of products. Mosquitos see me like a salad bar and lunch on me as soon as I become available. A DIY Mosquito trap that really works! Simple and cheap. |

Mosquito's generally aren't the strongest flyers, they have to rest under leaves or in the grass, so go after where they rest. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/bifen-it-p-226.html Spray your trees, house, and lawn, lasts for about 1-2 maybe 3 months if you're lucky. Generally kills just about everything, so be careful as it'll kill bee's as well. |

This is the only thing that worked for us with our house in Key Largo. For real. They use to come by and spray with a truck mounted fogger every evening in the summer and never put a dent in the mosquitos. Hell, they would even use an airplane mister at times that never worked either. The propane trap worked. Every morning we'd dump out dozens of dead mosquitoes and do it again the next day. 2 took care of our patio. More is better. One on each corner of your yard and 2 on the patio should at least make the back yard livable. Eta: This is the one we used. It's spendy, but they have a cheaper model too. http://m.frontgate.com/products/bundle/438132?path=~mosquito-magnet26reg-executive-insect-trap~&SourceCode=ZZ553471&cm_mmc=Comparison%2520Shopping-_-Google%2520Product%2520Listings-_-NA-_-NA&intlShippingCtx=US%257cUSD&mr%3AtrackingCode=942D6105-0C67-E211-96D6-BC305BEDEAD8&mr%3AreferralID=NA&mr%3Adevice=m&mr%3AadType=plaonline&mr%3Aad=72116721809&mr%3Akeyword=&mr%3Amatch=&mr%3Afilter=92173038929&gclid=COi0wYasxcYCFUkWHwodsMoIkg |

We use the gas backpack mister machines. Stihl makes one less than $300 (if you can catch it on sale) and you can use a good general pesticide like tempo or masterline in them.
Spray all your foliage up to 6' high and a full perimeter of your yard. Or just call an exterminator. We charge about $75-125 a month to treat for Mosquitos for an average residential yard. |
