Light several citronella candles in the area. They should ward off all the mosquitoes.
Look at all areas that may be harboring water. Mosquitoes will breed in a cap full of water. Make sure grass is cut on a regular basis. If you have a lot of shrubs and plants that provide a cooling place during the day, use equal parts of lemon scented dish soap, lemon juice and water to spray. Alternate every two weeks with the above mixture and a mixture of lemon scented ammonia and water (equal parts). Should solve your problem naturally.
Try planting lavender, sage and pepermint. Here are more suggestions. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/192810427778939840/
