The only time this has failed me is when I had to wear a head net to fish.

If you sit outside often or just don't want them around make a nice breeding spot for them. Then put in the mosquito eating fish. After a cycle or two of breeding there will be a super low amount of mosquitos in your little area.

I mean I'm in the midwest, so if you are in a swampy area that may not work. I originally got that idea from a guy in Hawaii who has an aquaponics farm outside in a rainforest though and he bets people money to find mosquitos...

YardGuard. We started spraying that stuff years ago around our duck blinds in the marsh as soon as we get there and before we started putting out decoys. You do this or they will absolutely destroy you. I’m talking clouds of them sorry bastards. As soon as you empty an entire can it literally forms a deflector shield around you. Literally you can see the swarm hovering over the YardGuard layer. It works so good at the blind it works even better in the burbs.

The downside is I’m sure it probably takes a year or so off ur life inhaling that stuff as much as we spray it since we have mosquitoes well into December.

I use spartan mosquito. Fill the tubes up with water and hang in a tree. Give it two weeks and mosquitos wont be a problem. Just don't put them next to where you will be sitting. Change out every 3 months.

I put down Talstar granular every year.... with the amount of rain this year, misquotes are laughing at Talstar.

They have a setup you can mix in a 55 gallon drum and attach it to sprayer heads mounted on your fence and it sprays on a timer.

Pretty cool
