One of the first things is get rid of anything that is holding water that does not have a current to it, like a pump on a water feature that keeps water moving. The larvae needs still water. Clean out any bird baths every couple of days. They love to hide in shady spots, like under garden plants during the day when the sun is out. It is murder sometimes in my veggie garden. Bug zappers that you hang up will help a little, too. Plant the plants they don't like, I use citronella geraniums myself. They are put off by the citrusy smells.
Is it an outdoor or indoor window box?

I planted lemon thyme and lemon balm in all by window boxes along with other flowers and it seems to work beautifully.
Build bat boxes. They eat more of them lil bitters than anything I know. Inless you have a barn full of swallows !

I don't have any window boxes. I just have a huge maple tree that shades the front of my house. I don't get a lot of sunshine.
Plant lemon grass around the areas you use most. If you use the porch and there is a window near by, have a fan blowing out at the area. Best thing is prevention. Dump any standing water and keep the grass mown.
