The absolute best way to kill and control mosquitoes for a residential backyard is to install an automatic mosquito misting system. We sell the MistAway line of products that are the industry standard. Here is a link to the top of the line system - https://www.epestcontrol.com/pest-pro... . Then you will need the circuit tubing and nozzles - https://www.epestcontrol.com/pest-pro...
The other options are to backpack spray the area regularly using a residual insecticide such as Bifen or Talstar - https://www.epestcontrol.com/pest-pro...
Mosquito traps don't control mosquito populations, they are only used to monitor and count populations - regardless of what you see online. Mosquito dunks and devices that help to sterilize and control the populations can help, but they don't control adult mosquitoes that are ready to bite you.
There is a lot of misinformation out there about killing and repelling mosquitoes. Repellents such as Deet can help, products such as OFF can help. However, these products will come into contact with your skin every time you apply them and therefore, are not recommended for daily use.
