What do you use to control/eliminate mosquitos in your yard?

They make this spray stuff that you attach to your hose and spray all over the yard. Seems to do a decent job at my house

This really works. I sprayed all bushes trees and outside walls. I think it's the same ingredient that's in Talstar.

Tiki torches with citronella fuel around the patio perimeter has worked well so far. Have a fan and a thermacell that I bust out if I don't want to be trashy.

We have parish wide mosquito control, there is a truck that passes at least once a week during the summer and that helps out a lot, however; there is usually a time before the truck starts to pass that they get really bad. Like someone mentioned, making sure there is no standing water makes a difference, but I have a few of those "Off" candles I keep in the breeze way/porch in my back yard which I light when I go bring the dogs out at night. They do the trick, my neighbor has an electric "bug wacker", which helps out as well.

Hello. My name is Mouth. I pay a pest control company to spray/fog my yard for mosquitoes once a month, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I tried just about everything over the years, and then I finally cracked and shelled out for a MistAway misting system. They do work. The chemical is not cheap though--$130/gallon. During peak months, I will go through a couple gallons a month. But, it eliminates about 80% or so of the original amount of skeeters.

The systems range from $2k -$5k depending on how large an area you want to treat and how many nozzle heads you want to add into the line.

If you live in EBR, you can call mosquitos control once a month to spray around your house. As long as you don't have a locked gate or dog they will walk around your house and backyard and spray.

They come weekly to my house if their schedule is not too full.
