Mosquito control?

Date sort Score sort
It is an option. I just wanted to point out that it isn't sure-fire. The product I recommended is safe, though it is intended for use on smaller than a 99-acre lake. It doesn't kill bees or I wouldn't use it.
 
I'm allergic to biting insects, to the point I have systemic reactions. My welts from just a bite or three are epic, frightening both small children and grown men alike. Things I've tried:
Bat houses. They helped me in Arlington, TX.
We also use the Dynatrap mosquito eliminator.
Our neighbors have a Martin house. Not sure if Martins eat mosquitoes, but they seem to think it has helped.
I've cleared brush and keep grass short, eliminate as much standing water as possible, stocked Gambusia mosquito fish in the ornamental pond.
Pond dunks. Yes, that's a real thing. Probably same chemicals as the liquid previously mentioned. Safely in use for decades and a great thing for marshy areas. Donut shape is handy for tying a string through to anchor it near a tree or dock. They last a good while in still water.
Mosquito netting over garden hat. Very "Out of Africa"!

Good luck!
