[quote=Anonymous]Get rid of your standing water. Mosquitoes actually don't fly very far from where they hatch, so your yard has conditions that are causing breeding. They also don't need inches of water -- a poorly drained yard will suffice. Unclog your gutters and downspouts, then do a little regrading. Maybe even bring in some sand or gravel to dry things out. You can DIY all this; it's just elbow grease. Sprinkle some diatomaceous earth over the particularly damp spots. If there's water you really can't get rid of, like a neighbor's puddle, you can buy pellets of something (I forget - google) to drop in the water and kill the larvae. And, you don't need a table for your citronella candle. [/quote]
