Eliminate the breeding sites. But, if you do have stagnant water somewhere that you can't get rid of, then larvicides are pretty effective.
Merchant: If there's a house or any kind of human habitation, it will have one of these three mosquitoes. It will have the Culex house mosquito or the Aedes mosquitoes, the yellow fever or Asian tiger mosquitoes, will be present. We've been doing some surveying recently and some of our surveys have been done out in the rural counties. We're finding these mosquitoes in both rural settings and urban settings. Surprisingly, some of these mosquitoes, especially the Aedes mosquitoes, love city-type environments because there's so much trash and so many places to breed in, but you can certainly find them out on the farm, too.
They are not exclusive to the city. As far as special things for urban dwellers, it's all kind of the same. We carry our baggage with us, whether we're in the city or the country. Mosquitoes will follow us. The Aedes mosquitoes have lived with people for so long, they are very well adapted to living around houses. That's why we call them container breeders — they love artificial containers that we provide. Merchant: There's a lot of products out there that don't work very well.
Sound devices certainly are completely ineffective at repelling mosquitoes. Some of the traps that do collect mosquitoes are difficult sometimes to get to work in a backyard. They may not be powerful enough to draw mosquitoes in from a large enough area and you may need several of those vacuuming-type devices in the backyard to see any difference.
Mosquito zappers, the bug zapper machines, do not help at all with mosquitoes. A lot of people buy them for that purpose, but they are totally ineffective. In fact, they probably kill more beneficial insects than they do bad insects, so we don't recommend those. Citronella plants just do not put out enough citronella oils to be very repellent to insects. Don't count on planting citronella plants around your backyard to repel mosquitoes; they're not going to make a difference.
And, unfortunately, bats and purple martins don't eat enough mosquitoes to keep mosquitoes out of your backyard. It's great to have a bat house or a swallow or purple martin house in your backyard — I don't want to discourage anybody from doing that — but if you're doing it for the sole purpose of getting rid of mosquitoes, you're going to be disappointed.
