Anyone have any success thwarting mosquitos outside your house?

It'd be nice to be able to sit outside during the evenings. Do those zapper things actually work?

Do your best to find any sources of standing water around your house. Take extra care to look for old 5 gallon buckets or weird spots behind the garage. Eliminate those and it helps significantly. The bug zappers work but are unsightly.

I have some tiki torches with citronella.
Seems to work decently.

I just purchased a thermacell radius today, it has to charge for 5hrs so I can’t use it tonight. I’ll report back after using it this weekend.
My zapper does not work btw.

there a few things more satisfying than mixing up some permethrin in a sprayer and going into an infested yard and broadcasting that stuff into a swarm of mosquitoes.

I tried the Spartan mosquito eradicator canisters last year. Mosquito free since. Change out every 3 months. I have 2 set up at my house. $100 a year for no mosquitoes is nice.

Bats are great if you can attract them with a bat house. They eat thousands of mosquitoes every day. They are awesome.

Spartan mosquito traps. Just don’t put them by somewhere you want to be. They attract the shite out of mosquitos

I installed a MistAway system...55 gallon tank with 400feet of 1/4” tubing and 88 nozzle heads that spans my backyard and my neighbors yard. I tried everything before this with no success. The mister works, but doesn’t eliminate every one of them.
