I don't have a solution, but I have the same problem. I love to garden, but this is making it very difficult to go outside....; (

You could make or buy bat house's and put in your tree's. they eat tons every night.

Check your neighbors as well. I had the same problem and found a neighbor with several vessels collecting rainwater to water plants. The containers were FULL of mosquito larva!

My neighbor has a large pond and doesn't try to stop skeeters from breeding at all, so we have to cover up to avoid the vampires..

I would say adding mosquito dunks, the donut looking things that stop maturing of skeeter larvae would be the best solution, but WHO will pay for these Skeeter dunks?

I just may buy some of these dunks. The neighbors with the pond have a lanai, and we don't. I may pay for and add them for June and July, at least. I hear bullfrogs in the evening, but they can't keep up, maybe we need more bullfrogs. I guess I can add some skeeter dunks, but not a lot. The bullfrogs will eat the rest. If I stop all the skeeters from hatching, the bullfrogs will starve. Maybe I'll save up for a lanai, basically a screened in porch.

Iin the 70's today, and I was walking around my yard and stopped to talk to a neighbor and had 2 little skeeters land on me. They didn't get a chance to do any blood sucking, I smashed em' in time, but the sure came out of hibernation quick over the 2-3 warm days here. Today we will get some 20's for a while, then back to warmth, maybe the cold will zap some.

Are mosquitoes scent-driven? I think they might be... We've had good success with a product called pcs choice by cedarcide, it's mostly pure cedar oil, harmless to people and animals and doesn't affect sight-driven insects like bees and other pollinators.

Remedying the source of the skeeters is obviously the best solution, but using the cedarcide around your house and yard may at least help to keep them out of your yard.

Emore, I wonder if pure cedar oil, like you can get from nature stores or some websites that sell aroma therapy oils, would be okay. Of course we would have to dilute it with olive oil or better (but more expensive) Jojoba oil. I may try that. I have the Jojoba oil already. It's a good skin moisturizer.
