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.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
