Window screens, fly ribbons, and a Bug-A-Salt gun lol. The bug-a-salt shoots salt very fast to kill bugs.

Anything short of premetherin yard fogging once a month is dicking around.

Use a mosquito coil, manual way is to have huge pan put some oil then start swinging around the general area of the mosquitos you will eventually catch one. Put bleach on areas with possible mosquito larvae or where there is likely stagnant water in it. Introduce spiders in your home. Could also plant lavander/or any plant that is mosquito repellent lots online and introduce frogs in your garden.

How frequently do you change the dog's water?

Before you go on an omnicide on the entire species, consider planting Neem tree. These naturally repel mosquitoes. You can also get their oil to burn in oil dispenser etc but be warned it stinks like hell. I prefer to have a small pot of it next to the window and once it grows big enough, put it in a permanent place in the ground.

Get a big outdoor box fan you see people rock in their garage gyms, cover the side that blows air out with a screen. Any mosquito flying near will get sucked in and stuck in the screen. At the end of the day/night spray the screen with rubbing alcohol.

If you want to go full bore, nothing beats 100% DEET. It is like gasoline, but I have yet to find a more effective personal repellent.

If all else fails, I hear mosquito nets are fairly efficient.

Give them a perfect spot to breed, like a kiddie pool with standing water or a bucket or two. Then drop a mosquito dunk in each. The mosquitoes will be drawn to this perfect breeding ground but the dunks will kill the larvae. Once the adults die off, there will be no new ones to take their place.

Secondly, if you have a lawn, spray it thoroughly with insecticide. This will kill or repel the ones living in the grass.

FWIW my yard would be full of mosquitos if we did not have a mosquito service treat it every 3-4 weeks. It's not a big yard, and my neighbors don't treat their yards. The mosquitos still stay out of our yard though.

Point is it can be done. Whatever the Mosquito businesses do - works. Hire one of you have the money to spend or try to figure out what the professionals do.

Half the battle is getting rid of water. Every few days walk around and pour out anything that collects rainwater.

Get a bug guy to come spray the exterior of your place. They can use stronger stuff then folk’s indoor life hacks. Eventually they’ll stop getting in.

I've had fantastic success spraying around my home with insecticides. Primarily treated for ticks but great on mosquitos too.

Primarily with bifenthrin. Not affiliated with that supplier.

For flying insects you need to spray on the leaves of nearby trees so you really do need a mist blower. Or have a local company do it.

I’ve started using citronella soap when I shower.

I am from India and our summers are pretty bad, and the rainy season that follows up is both humid and a mosquito menace.

Apply mosquito killing creams or lotions. If you are too concerned about them, use natural essential oils made of plants that do this. They cost twice the chemical creams. No matter what you do with windows, cleaning standing waters, nets, electric rackets, you will still end up with those shitty flies making funny noises at your ear when sleeping. Peaceful sleeps and nights.

Use other measures as well, but the body cream/oil will be your final defense line that cannot be breached.
