Default How to kill mosquito

I have mosquito's in the yard, I know about standing water and stuff but are there any plants or bird that I can get to limit them?

A Bug Zapper will clear the yard, depending on the size up to one acre, without the use of chemicals. There are even vacuum traps for those that want a quiet insect control device.

Have you seen the new Off! clip on mosquito repellents? I wonder how well those work.

I put down an all purpose killer that you spray on the lawn - two coats and no bugs so far this season other than what flys over from my neighbors.

For a spray, try "Pyrethrin' based insecticides, it's a plant extract.

Also, get a batbox. Seriously, those guys eat staggering #'s of bugs.
