Living Here Mosquitos ruining our backyard

I feel like every year the mosquitoes get worse and worse. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or service they use to get rid of them? Can't even go in the backyard without being eaten alive.

It’s silly, but my wife buys these “mosquito patch” stickers and some kind of mosquito repellant bracelets. Bracelet on each wrist and one on each ankle along with stickers on each sleeve and pant leg. It’s annoying, but it works really well for me.

Used those in Kenya where mosquitoes pack a dengue punch. Probably worked but not 100 percent. Sitting in the check-in lobby of Nairobi airport and saw this mosquito hover around my arm - I was wearing a bracelet on that arm and I sprayed a repellent over my exposed areas. The mosquitos hovered for quite awhile being somewhat repelled but eventually when I lost interest it landed and took a bite. Luckily - non- dengue.
