What would you use? Citronella candles, the ones in the buckets, or the Tiki torches for these Long Island mosquitos and other flying biters.

Those tiki torches leave bits of soot all over. Look nice but basically useless. The mosquito coils work pretty good though.

Where do you find them ? I got lots of mosquitoes in my yard. I heard the Zapper kills everything but mosquitoes. Anyone tried the Dragonfly system ? That is freaking expensive, not sure if it even works.

Put bug repellent on and if you have a party in your yard leave a couple of bottles of it out for your guests. Better yet stay indoors at night whenever possible because who wants West Nile Disease?!!
