I live in an area that's loaded with mosquitos, some the size of small birds. We have lot's of wetlands around where they breed and are surrounded by woods. I have the big cordless mosquito magnet and it works on our yard which is an acre, but doesn't get them all. I also have to fill the propane tank every 3 weeks. We call the Bristol County Mosquito Control and they spray our street every couple of weeks, too. It seems to help a bit.

I've tried everything and the thing that works best (that can be bought at a store) is the Cutter Backyard Bug Spray. You hook it up to your hose and spray the grass, bushes, trees, etc... I do it in the morning and it dries in no time and we get no mosquitos for about 2 weeks. It's cheap, too. Backyard? Bug Control Concentrate

And definitely put up some bat houses if you can. The bats eat a ton of mosquitos and are pretty cool to watch at night.

your skin

is the largest organ of your body
having the most square feet of
surface area

it's the first line of ATTACK

having brewers yeast regularly (ICE CREAM SHAKES)
makes you
excrete vitamin B1 ON YOUR SKIN and mosquitos hate it...
the TASTE OF IT TO THEM IS TABOO

you also need to not be wearing denim blue
colors as that attracts mosquitos.

i like the cutters skinSensations [correction]
for when they are thick

THEN there's also a bit of wisdom knowing when to retreat

citronella candles work VERY well for us....
or you can also set up a square window fan

mosquitos can't fly in that breeze very well
