Bifen IT and a small boom sprayer. Takes care of red ants and mosquitos.

If it is your yard, have Mosquito authority come out and spray.

If you are in the field, use a thermacell.

Used Mosquito Joe last Thursday. By Saturday afternoon, half my Azaleas were chemically burned, brown and drooping. Joe said it wasn't their spray that did it. Could be coincidence, but told them not to come back.

Find where they are breeding and focus on improving the drainage or removing items that water collects in. Might be underground culverts, pooled water under house, roof gutters that don't drain, old buckets/trash cans, tires, etc.

If you have areas that won't drain for a couple days after a hard rain, you can spray them with bleach whenever the water collects and it'll kill any larva in the water. It's a constant vigilance thing though.

If the water is in a neighbors yard though and you cant do anything about it, you can clear your yard of excess foliage which eliminates places for them to land and hang out.

Screened porches are nice, too.

if you are interested in a sprayer/misting system for your patio area, Bug Stomper makes a great one you can DIY.
