It's cheap, easy, and it doesn't kill the beneficial insects in your yard!
1) Fill a bucket with water.
2) Add straw or hay and let it ferment for a few days in a sunny spot. The resulting brew will be irresistible to female mosquitos.
3) After a few days the mosquitos have laid their eggs, drop in a mosquito dunk tablet.
Mosquito dunk tablets can be purchased at most hardware stores, and contain Bacillus-thuringiensis (Bt), a natural larvicide. The eggs will hatch and the larvae will die.
This way you control the mosquitos and only the mosquitos, without the use of harmful insecticides.
The pyrethroid-based insecticides used by mosquito foggers indiscriminately kill all insects, not just mosquitos.
Ironically, targeting adult mosquitos is the worst and by far the most expensive approach to mosquito control, because mosquitos are best controlled in the larval stage.
