How do I get rid of mosquitoes for good?

Hello Rhonda! I don't think you can get rid of mosquitoes for good. There are ways to keep the numbers down if you can afford a big project like screening in your porch. Here's a few ideas.

A female mosquito will lay eggs in ANY standing water including rainwater pocketed in a curled up leaf on the ground. Try bat boxes to attract them to nest on nearby trees. They eat mosquitoes by the hundreds. Use a bug control device you plug in like the one that attracts them then sucks them into a container unlike the one that kills them and they fall to the ground. It has a blue light to attract them like the Flowtron.

There is no way to get rid of mosquitoes for good. I keep one of these with me when I am outdoors and never get bit any longer! Best thing I have ever tried! Thermacell

I invested in a DynaTrap device 2 years ago. It worked good the first year and there were fewer bugs, the 2nd year hardly any. This year I haven't seen a single bug of any kind.

Is there any way to screen in your porch? That might be your best bet!

Hello Rhonda,

Pots of Citronella, Lavender, Rosemary help. Are you near water or is this place always in the shade? Maybe have a fan working too. good luck...................

One thing is to put a yellow insect light bulb in any light fixture. Another might be to put a couple Citronella plants on the porch.
