I don't think citronella actually does anything.
There is a product called Mavrik Perimeter that is a very effective mosquito control.
Get a cat or better two. It worked for me and my husband at least inside the house.
Mosquitoes are attracted by propane gas or so I remember reading. There's a propane-based mosquito trap that might work. That said, I must be filet mignon to them because they will bite me even through deet.
That propane- based trap is burning the propane as fuel to generate CO2 and water vapor, which is what the mosquitos are attracted to.
Its CO2, not propane.
Itβs CO2 produced by combusting propane
I tried the propane powered foggers. Useless.
Wolbachia Parasites
Get a lighter and an aerosol spray. Anytime you see one fly by let it rip.
Have you considered killing yourself ?
Are you from my other post lol?
