    You also receive more annual precipitation than me. 14" vs 12" so go figure.

    Slightly limited use, especially here in Missouri where many of the mosquitos can fuck a chicken flat footed, but setting up a fan system to constantly have air moving in the areas people are at outdoors is effective.

    Mosquitos are naturally weak fliers and even a slight breeze makes them unable to navigate. Bonus of keeping nipples at attention as well.

    So it turns out that the ultimate predator for mosquitos are bats and we are loaded with bats... at sunset we have an aerobatic display of bats that swarm our pool area... Each bat eats between 50-100% of their body weight in bugs every day.... they love oak forest environments especially if you have a pool as a water source and they are prehistoric bug eating machines...guess this is not going to be an issue for us... we will get the machine which mimics the exhale of CO2 and will also get machine for no see ums which are present in the afternoon + and a flaming propane heating tower to keep away the bats while we are out in the evening.

    Best tip yet.

    My place is dry now and it's not much of a problem. I used to try dumping soap, laundry and/or dish soap, into a couple of the ponds down the hill. Thought I could head them off as they reproduce. I didn't see any sign that it helped.
