The Dyna Trap didn't do anything for me

I pay pest control every month to come out and spray about 50 ft around the house. Haven't seen a mosquito in 1.5 years.

I use Mintronella incense sticks, buy a 100 pack on Amazon for $17. They are all natural, made in US, and smell good when they burn. I got a thermocell but the incense sticks work better. I also put mosquito dunks and mosquito fish in my little pond. Houston area, and there are a lot of little mosquitos but fortunately they hate Mintronella.

Don’t know about where you are, but in this area it’s been extremely hot and dry.
The only benefit of the lack of rain is there are hardly any skeeters.

Same where I'm at. There is one other benefit though, I haven't had to cut my grass in a month because it's too dry to grow

It's not the mosquitos here, it's the damn biting gnats. No see ums, midges or whatever the shite they are called.
My wife could stay outside all day and never get bit. One of those bastards would follow her inside when she comes in just to bite me. That's how eaten alive I get.

use a strong fan to blow the little bastards away.
I’ve used nearly every product in the market, only thing that works consistently is a strong fan or blower. The frickers like to congregate at my front door for some reason, so bad that in the AM we leave out the back door because the swarm is so intense. I’ve resorted to place a blower at an angle pointed directly at the door. Mosquito thread is neutralized, only down side is each morning we have to sweep up Omaha beach of mosquito. It’s bad, but as soon as the temps drop in late fall, they completey disappear.

Just put some amber romance lotion on.
1: you will smell good
2: mosquitos hate that stuff

That would likely kill the beautiful bees I get. I just use off it works so well

Not sure if you have somewhere to put it but a bat house works great. Once you get bats in it, you’re golden. They eat their weight in mosquitoes every night.
When I lived in the country, I built a fairly large bat house and put it near the wood line. All my neighbors complained about the mosquitoes and we never saw any. I probably had a few hundred bats in that house. You can get smaller ones. They will absolutely thin the mosquitoes out. Once you have bats, you don’t have to do anything else.

To keep mosquitos and nats off you, skin so soft.

Has anyone ever used the liquid garlic stuff? Isn’t that mostly what the industrial mosquito killers do?
