Mosquito control

I read an article in the NY Times that said the best way to control mosquitoes outdoors is by using an oscillating fan. It works in two ways. 1. it disrupts the CO2 plume coming from your body so the mosquitoes can't home in on you, and 2. Mosquitoes are very weak flyers and can't fly against the force of the wind coming from the fan.
