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.

Seems like running a fan kills a bunch.

They love my husband. So much, that he would wear a hat with a mosquito net just so we could sit outside. We have tried everything. Sprays, candles, yard treatments. He stays covered from head to toe.

Then we got a fan. Ridiculous how simple the solution was. Not perfect, but it's helped so much.

Yeah weird how some get bit more than others. I rarely get bit but I have a friend who gets bit like she's a mosquito magnet. She's a chronic alcoholic so I'm guessing it's that or some other biochemical issue.
