Pest control - Mosquito Magnet?

[Poconos]

I just kill everything in sight. If the fog doesn't get them the noise will. Not cheap but very effective.

Dang, Al! That thing looks like a flame-thrower!

In the past we've used a bug zapper. They work pretty well, but you cannot get one bigger than recommended unless you want to get ALL the bugs in the neighborhood!

Mosquito's weren't a problem here in N.C. last year, the biting deer flies were. Anyway, I haven't had to use a mosquito repellent near pool for some reason. My husband and I do use ThermaCELL cartidges when we're hunting in the woods in a blind. Works wonderfully. We just picked up the larger lantern to try on the patio by pool this spring/summer if necessary.

I also use a fogger when the buggers get too bad. It works pretty well if you use it a few times in a row. My younger daughter really attracts mosquitoes for some reason. I have threatened to have her stand in the far end of the yard to attract them all so we could be more comfortable by the pool. She was not amused.

I have an 1100 gallon koi pond somewhat adjacent to my pool, and between the two water sources, we are usually overrun with frogs from the pond, and from swallows raising hundreds of babies under the eaves of my porch. The only real upside to having lost the battles with both the frogs and the swallows are that I don't have a problem with bugs of any kind in my yard. How many of each would you like me to send?
