I've tried two devices to try and control them because I wanted to avoid having things on fire in the back yard with the kids when possible (tiki torches/ citronella candles).

The stinger bug zapper got lots of other bugs and insects, but didn't do much for skeets at all (even with the attractant chemical addon). It was also VERY loud when it zapped them, and the unit stopped working completely after about 6 weeks. My opinion is this thing is not helpful for controlling mosquitoes at all.

The Mosquito Magnet Patriot. This thing uses electricity and propane gas to attract mosquitoes and trap them. The jury's still out on this one, I bought it used for about $150 and have been struggling to keep the thing running. It has captured some mosquitoes but certainly hasn't come anywhere close to living up to the manufacturers claims about the product. It's expensive, uses about a tank of propane a month, and some electricity. So far, I can't say I'd recommend it; but I've heard a lot of people rave about them. Maybe I should have not gone with a used one. The manufacturer site is here: http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/store/...t-traps/mm4100 in case you're curious.

I'm using the mosquito magnet and bug spray at the moment, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to switch back to the standard tiki torch/citronella candle methods as summer approaches.
