A: "I'm afraid we don't know, but make my stipend tax-free, give my advisor a $30,000 grant of the taxpayer's money, and I'm sure he can tell me how to do the shit work for him so he can take the credit for answering this incredibly vital question."

Are you guys sure about the bats? I am living on an island in Brasil with tons of bats...and tons of mosquitoes. They seem to co-exist.

Batses? You don't need no stinkin' batses! I found this ingenious homemade mosquito trap on DIYHappy a few months ago: http://www.diyhappy.com/quick-and-dirty-mosquito-trap/ Give it a try.

Forgot to mention, if you can't empty it, add between 1/4 cup of bleach for every gallon of water the larva are living in. Bleach is an organic molecule, so don't worry too much about the environmental impact. Beats spreading disease.

You all missed the most obvious. Prevent mosquitos in the first place!! Their lifecycle requires standing water to reproduce. Overturn or drain anything that collects water every time it rains. It will significantly reduce their numbers. It only takes seven days for them to go from egg to mosquito, and they can live for months feeding and laying more eggs. With their numbers reduced, the other suggestions will be that much more effective.

I use "mosquito fish" in my backyard pond in Brooklyn. They're called gambusia and you can get five of them mailed live to you off Ebay for about 10 bucks. They live off mosquito larvae and my yard is relatively free of mosquitos. They also breed like crazy so now I have like fifty of them. They don't live through the winter though, unless you bring them inside and put them in a tank.

A quick and dirty mosquito trap perhaps?

Sounds weird, but rubbing a dryer sheet on your bare skin or clothing will keep 'em away. Might not be a good idea if you have sensitive skin, though.

Also try finding a Wren Bottle - attracting wrens is a really good idea. They loves them some mosquitos.

A friend down in LA uses a bathouse which works pretty well- and they live on a swamp. If you are pro- ecology or anti bug zappers you should check it out. And the bats are fun to watch when they come out at night.

get something like this: http://www.comfortchannel.com/prod.itml/icOid/2325 it runs on propane which is cheap, safe and clean. its actually effective unlike any of those citronella tiki torches or incenses, and isnt carcinogenic like bug spray is. there are many different brands and models of these things, and they really work.

Dragonflies eat mosquitoes. Plus, I am fascinated by them after reading this article. Or you can get a bug zapper, but that will kill all bugs, not just just mosquitoes.

In addition to bats, consider Purple Martins, mosquito-eating birds. Mid-westerners build or buy special bird houses to attract them.
