What do you do to fight MOSQUITOS?

I found this by accident.... I find it really amazing, if it works as well as the video!

Mosquitos absolutely love me. A little less than a year ago, our family started using Young Living Essential Oils to help with a myriad of physical symptoms, from stuffy noses to sore muscles. Lemongrass oil was recommended as an aid in deterring insects. I have been to Boy Scout summer camp each of the last 3 summers. The summers of 2013 and 2014, I returned home with legs scabbed up and oozing from all the mosquito bites. This year, armed with lemongrass oil, I received nary a bite. Plus, it smells a heckuva lot better that any of those spray ons with DEET, not to mention the fact that it is non-toxic!

We use and love these. We get them at Walmart or Lowes. We have protected wetlands behind us and a pond on the property so know all about mosquitos! There lamps work great for when we are outside by the pool.

Thanks for the recommendation Dave. I am fed up as the OP and willing to try anything. I just picked up two 5lb jugs of Dr T's mosquito granules at Menards. Going to put some down tonight.

Burgess 1443 40-Ounce Outdoor Propane Insect Fogger with Black Flag insecticide has been the best for us. The mosquitoes are so bad we buy OFF Active by the case.

We have citronella plants and lemon grass planted in the yard, as well as some in planters around the pool. Mosquitoes don't bother us at all, and we have a pond in the back yard as well.
