I have been using Bifen IT mixed with water with great results. I spray my whole yard including grass, bushes and house eaves. I avoid flowers because it will harm bees. It takes care of mosquitos, red ants and spiders for up to 4 months.

I was told mosquitos spend the day on the underside of grass so a whole yard application works best.

Built a fan on wheels we roll out and we sit down wind (good for a group of people). It's a squirrel cage fan from a residential A/C blower and it has 3 speeds, 120 Volts. It's very quiet, very controllable, and no more mosquitoes. It's mounted on an old Gravely sulky with 16" diameter pneumatic tires.

We use it on high speed as a leaf blower on steroids.

This is what I do. A strong dose of Talstar at dark every quarter and I don’t have problems with them. I backup to a bayou so I Surat behind my fence as well and it does the job. I overspray i hate skeeters. I think I put out 2 acres worth last month lol
